My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
Here’s an expensive thing!
What value does it have?
…you figure it out!
I am not impressed.
:o
Bro theres plastic in my balls sorry I’m not impressed you tricked a computer into having conversations by destroying the environment and computer hardware market at the same time. Resouece wise these guys are moving, and consuming heaven and earth and for what? Fucking grok telling us how good at eating shit elmo is?
Elmo’s dedication and ability to endure punishing amounts of shit makes elmo not only the best on Earth, but probably the best in the universe when it comes to eating fetid maggotty rotting shit.
All the C levels at MS are humongous idiots. It’s a requirement.
Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don’t want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I’d rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
AI doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t give me more money, take care of my plants, clean my house, or improve my relationships with the human beings around me.
I’m sick of caring about increasing my “job productivity”, which is all it -might- do, and that’s debatable. It’s probably just trying to learn how to do my job so we need less humans working in the end. Sounds amazing, but inside of capitalism, it just means they’ll starve.
“Super smart AI”? No. It’s exactly as smart as the average of human output. And if he doesn’t know what kind of bad news that is…
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.
If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.
What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?
Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.
Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.
Right?! At the end of the day, they’re still just people. Gotta eat, gotta sleep, gotta shit. I will never understand how any individual gets so much money/power/attention because they’re all just god damn people and in the event of a catastrophe i imagine they would be about as helpful as any other random human. They aren’t gods, and they certainly don’t deserve the stratification. It’s not like they’re enlightened or something, most of the time they’re just sociopaths who are rich, clever, and/or connected. When you get a glimpse under the hood at moments like this, it really is kinda jarring. Helps to dispel those silly presumptions about them at least.
I wish an AI operating system was just a bunch of microscopic AI models that only load when needed and run on device and have a genuine assistive purpose, instead of “Oh, HahA leTs maKe The comPuTer ContrOL iTsElf aNd tELL UsEr FalSe InFormAtioN”
Genuinely what I wished for when the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 was announced as “The First AI Phone”.
Instead what was shown in the livestream was literally Gemini, a product of another company on a €2000 smartphone that doesn’t even use the hardware you pay for.
Well, I am impressed by what it can do. I am unimpressed by what higher ups claim it can do.
Their whole shtick is to bullshit and confidence game their way through their career. Of course they’re going to be impressed by the rock solid bs and confidence of AI.
I mean he can fane that he doesn’t understand but he must. No matter how technically impressive the technology is, it’s only as good as it’s application.
Most people are familiar with the concept of an LLM. Most progress has been iterative.
Even the CEO gets his butt off the cake to talk about this. I suppose the AI bubble may burst soon.
So, there was this TV experiment where they served soup to a well-known scientist*, but, with his agreement, they stirred it first with an unused - and I stress unused - toilet brush.
He couldn’t bring himself to eat it.
Metaphorically speaking, our world is full of amazing things but they’re all stirred by clean toilet brushes. Sometimes, it’s worse than that and they’re used.
Do not want.
* Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, he was later cancelled for being old and out of touch on women’s issues among other things, which is kind of an example of this same trope when you think about it. His opinions and reactions on soup and food disgust aren’t linked to any of that but you might be tempted to ignore the result because of it.
But then, that puts him in the same category as Louis CK and that’s what I’m responding to. Food for thought.
