29% of employees admit to sabotaging their company's AI strategy

"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.
From the article:
There's a huge difference between "capable of completing the majority of tasks" and "capable of completing the majority of tasks WELL".
Sure, you can have an AI code your web app or mobile app, due example. But it will be riddled with bugs, and bloated with inefficient code.
And from what I've seen, it's not getting noticeable better at that.
But the AI companies won't acknowledge that, of course. They will continue selling the snake oil that cures everything that ails you.

Honestly, the only reason I use that LLM shit now is because the job market in tech is getting a bit like the hunger games and my employer strongly encourages its use - and even then, the vast majority of my usage is “fancy search engine”. Even the boilerplate it gives me sometimes is like… really weirdly styled and quite often has to be corrected to be fit for purpose. I cannot understand people who just slap that shit in without even bothering to check it.
