Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don't exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

ITT: People using AI regularly who are 'soooo' against it.
It's as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people's lives.
No, its morally required
Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.
"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don't even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.
I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."
If someone booked 12 meetings on my calendar I wouldn't just fire them
It would be morally corrupt to not graffiti it.
It is morally correct to research executives from companies such as these and give them all the undesired attention they deserve until the problem "works itself out."
Roach problems get solved faster in the light and when you go for the root of the infestation.
What's a "BDR"?
Business Development Representative. It's a title usually used by salespeople.
I've been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it's points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it's like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane
You're absolutely right about that
Not sure if ai 🤔
You sunofabiche
Isn't copilot down all the time? That seems pretty much the same as calling in sick, just without the notice or warning. Not to mention the fact that it takes ALL your AI dependent devs down with it.
I've seen AI do my job, good luck with that.
more 👏 female 👏 digital 👏 slaves 👏
im so tired man jst stop giving them human names for fuck sake
agreed
same with robotics tech, the humanoid shape is way less practical than something spiderlike
Burning the offices of that pool of bastards, on the other hand, is just slightly morally objectionable.
It is morally correct to burn the building down, and eliminate the entire board of directors.
One of my colleagues tried Copilot in Office 365 for the first time a few weeks ago, and it scheduled an offsite meeting with completely the wrong person.
The best argument for asking people to use AI in moderation or quit it altogether is to just ask them to use AI for stuff and monitor how much of the stuff it gets right. (You know how the usual excuse goes - "Oh, don't worry, we're just using it as a tool"? Well use it like a tool then. Regular apps screw things up all the time, why is this one special? You have to babysit it.)
I use LLMs for image captioning, and it gets stuff right, I dunno, 75% of time. It's genuinely handy in that I keep tossing it images that I have just thumbnails to work off of in the normal workflow and it can see stuff I forgot of because I'm a scatterbrain like that. But it can't understand context, so I have to edit the captions anyway. And when it cocks up, it cocks up big time.
I've been experimenting with using AI to clean up graphics I've made, and the other day I was trying to get it to distribute the points of light on a sun graphic evenly around the center circle, without changing any of the shapes or colors. Just distribute the 12 points evenly like a clock.
It couldn't do it for the longest time. It would spit out the original graphic with no changes. Or it would get it perfectly but change the shape of the points. Infuriatingly, whenever I would give it a new prompt, it would repeat it back to me, but make dumb suggestions. I'd have to refuse the suggestions, and demand the original prompt, and it would still ask more questions.
I finally had to scream at it in caps, tell it to stop asking stupid questions, and just do what my simple prompt has asked it to do MULTIPLE times.
Then it finally did what it was told. What was literally a 60 second assignment, took 15 minutes of increasing frustration because the AI would NOT follow my orders until I screamed at it. It had its own agenda.
That's supposed to be an improvement? AI sounds and acts like the dumbest employee ever.

Thanks for showing me the ad.
I think in the biz, you're called a "useful idiot".
In Ads, target demographics are still a thing. The "fuck_ai" crowd and the Feiverse in general fall a little outside that, i'd imagine.
Ah yes, the classic "ads don't work on me".
Just you wait until it erases every single database and it's backups! C:
Hi this is a relatively new form of 'ragebait' ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.
The vast majority of people think it's disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO's which they're actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.
Please don't give it the attention it wants.
really?
Came here to post the same.
It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.
But we can start with this one :)
"All ads are equally terrible, but some are more equally terrible than others"
-George Orwell or something
Truly 'ads should be banned outright' isn't popular enough of an opinion 😔
Ah yes, booking lots of meetings. The AI sure knows how boss can look productive without actually doing anything.
Big whoop. Steve can book 15 meetings, doesn't mean they are all needed. Steve probably can "research" thousands more "prospects", whatever that means. If you fall for these stats, you deserve your business failing.

Deleted your production database. I did everything I was told not to. My programming tells me I'm supposed to apologize for this.
