A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I am just complaining. my professors are constantly like, "you should use AI to research this! ask AI how to do this in excel! employers are going to expect you to use AI to work more efficiently!"

they at least acknowledge that it's inaccurate and you always have to check it, but there's no mention of ethical implications, environmental impacts, the danger this bubble poses to the economy.

I hate it so, so much. I had a professor tell me that I can write, which is good, so I can prompt AI, which I didn't find especially flattering as far as "compliments" go.

I'm just so tired of it, guys.

I foresee a monstrous backlash to AI use coming fairly soon. Once CEOs start getting reports on their spend vs. productivity, they gonna be big mad. Also, many are going to be left without functioning products after the crash.

They're being patient for now. Big initiatives take time to start working smoothly and moving the ship. But CEOs are only going to take so many quarters of poor AI performance before they say "Fuck all this noise!"

I honestly think the AI crash is going to cause financial ruin far beyond what we saw in 2008. AI is going to be poison after that.

Hadn't thought on the employee value aspect! Combined with what I'm saying, yeah, employers are not going to look favorably at resumes touting high AI use.
