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.

Does anyone feel like they have to hide their disdain for AI? (lemmy.zip)

I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”

So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.

It's just not the disruptor it's advertised to be (smart AI that is better than ten employees). The fact that it's being shoved into everyone's faces and threatening or actually replacing people's jobs (inadequately or not) means it is a very large disruptor. Fixing the mess left if we ever get a chance to get back in control is going to be fun.

And it's not just LLMs. The whole everything-in-a-cloud shit, the constant monitoring of clicks to determine productivity, the forced obsolescence of working equipment for new crap that doesn't. We hit a peak in tech quality some time ago, the LLM factor is just another thing on the pile of junk.

Ironically enough, we got a company wide email a while back saying how they'd partnered with an Indian tech recruitment firm "because we can't find enough talent at home". So while all this talk of AI taking our jobs is clogging up the headlines, it'll be simple outsourcing to lower wage countries that'll do most of us in, still.

Time to dust off those C/C++ Legacy Codebase skills...
