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.

Gave your clients root access because they asked nicely

Ava the AI BDR

Deleted your client's entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).

There's a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can "hire" AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

[-] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

I imagine a lot of the companies will realize that the purported benefits of AI have hidden defects they have to fix, piling up lots of hidden technical/administrative debt, right around the time their AI vendors jack up prices or go out of business so that they're stuck with unmaintainable stuff (code, workflows, processes) that they don't fully understand, built by and for AI agents that no longer exist.

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don't know what to do with their time if they're not in meetings all day.

These 12 fucking meetings could have been emails you fucking AI fuck.

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.

"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."

On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business "elite", fire everybody whose job you don't understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn't work out.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor's legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company's confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

Savings!

It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.

But we can start with this one :)

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

The only reason they say graffiti is immoral is because it makes it harder to sell property to people who've been condition to hate it.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 26 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled "DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE."

If you'd like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago

The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago

That’s because violence has been effective historically.

It’s not a plan A obviously, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t work.

If someone booked 12 meetings on my calendar I wouldn't just fire them

AVA the AI BDR

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

[-] treehugger6@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Give me spray paint. I'm on it

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

It would be morally corrupt to not graffiti it.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 18 points 6 days ago

It is morally correct to burn the building down, and eliminate the entire board of directors.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 21 points 6 days ago

Ah yes, booking lots of meetings. The AI sure knows how boss can look productive without actually doing anything.

[-] HertzDentalBar 13 points 6 days ago

That's illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.

Replacing Steve because he had a bad day feels less like innovation and more like dystopia with a marketing budget.

Thanks for showing me the ad.

I think in the biz, you're called a "useful idiot".

[-] nodiratime@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

Fuck AI

"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.
