Yes, because they are incompetent. They are not fit to be decision makers. Fucking get rid of them.
I’m so tired of work being a fucking nightmare because the people in charge are high on their own farts.
People at the top make a ton of stupid decisions yet suffer very few consequences.
The only positions that should be replaced by AI are management positions.
It’s because AI generated work is poor quality, and their supervisor knows it. The mandate to use it has come from much further up the chain.
Yes. Any company that went all in on AI really just showed the true “fuck the humans/plebs who do the work” colours of the highest level decision makers.
The are 3 directors in my company that are big cog suckers. They are supposedly working on a dark factory but when they show any progress you can see they have no idea what they are doing. I’m sure if competent people were trying to do it it would be working (although competent people would ask the utility of a dark factory in the first place)
We all got access to claude code and they monitor the usage, as in if you don’t use them you get into a red list. I have a couple of projects that are complex enough that if I ask it to make the smallest change it burns a lot of tokens so I do that every few days
poor quality
One of the reasons the higher ups mandate the use of AI is to normalize the quality of people’s work. More specifically, to reduce the quality of the work of their peers so that they are not at a disadvantage.
Haven’t studies shown that people who offload skilled work will slowly lose access to those skills?
Yes. The exact skills needed to verify the output. LLMs turn expertise into an expendable resource
Right, so if you’re a company that has developers employeed only for the purpose of checking the work of the LLM, you’re going to slowly have worse and worse code because the LLM will not get better at it, but the humans will get worse at it.
I’m going to laugh laugh laugh when employers have to spend more money on AI than on actual humans with little to show for it. It’s such bullshit that such a potentially dangerous technology is being shoved down our throats.
I already thought my manager was a dickhead but now that I’ve seen them prompt AI for what they could have just taken time to research—which they had to do anyway because the AI was wrong—I can say without hesitation that not only is he a maroon, but he’s the part of society I want nothing to do with. Can’t wait to leave this shit hole.
Yeah, these maroons with their em dashes
Gurss where the LLMs picked up those dashes?
Human writing.
Yes, turns out humans use them too—particularly in the type of serious, professional writing that these models seek to emulate—and have done so before the slopmachines and some of us continue to do so even in an age where this stye we have adopted—whether by necessity of our occupation, by choice for hobbies or simply by spending enough time reading the type of text that uses them profusely—is mindlessly imitated by machines incapable of intuitively deciding which tone is most appropriate for the given occasion—or, really, any incapable of any intuition or semantic distinction.
AI slop may contain em-dashes, but that implication is not reversible—not every em—dash user is an artificial slop generator. My slop is perfectly natural, thank you very much.
In my company I’ve noticed AI magnifies a person’s skills — or lack thereof.
