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.

So, for some context, I work at an accounting company that provides tech services to banks. Really tiring shit but it was the only thing where they didn't ask you for 100 years of previous experience to enter an entry-level position.

A couple of days ago the CEO came for an annual visit and gave a conference, which was 2 hours of generic corporate crap in the world's most uncomfortable chairs (the only one that probably benefited from that meeting was the local chiropractor). I'm pretty sure the word "growth" was said at least 20 times, and I'm starting to genuinely hate that word.

The interesting bit is that, at the end, the guy answered some questions that were send beforehand by the employees' and other bosses. One of them was if he saw the benefits of using AI.

He fucking admitted he did not see those benefits, but then said immediately afterwards that the company had to use it because the competitors were using it.

Thankfully the project I work at is such a mess that they don't have the time to add AI to the workflow.

I'm looking for a job in cybersecurity after being laid off and I had a round of interviews where nobody said 'AI'. I'm liking that company.

I saw a job ad recently for a cyber security position and the description was all "how do we use AI without leaking patient data, and also do it ethically and train it to replace our workforce... ethically" it was the most insane thing I've seen yet and I'm sure an AI wrote it as part of a plan to take over.
