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.

Honestly I'm just as infuriated and we have an arguable use case for it.

I work in av and we're looking into camera tracking for presentations with AI.

The amount of time and effort we are putting into using AI over just motion tracking with two cameras is just...

Like, AI makes us immune to fishtanks, but introduces false positives like statues, paintings, false negatives, and nobody puts any thought into what happens if the AI is ever wrong?

Real case scenario, I had an AI solution locked onto my crotch when I was wearing tan pants... whaddya do? Your share holders flew all over to hear your presentation. I guess you just have to swap pants and hope for the best.

If you track movement, you can always get rid of the extraneous movement or give your presenter CPR to get them moving again. Like, you can physically point to the problem and instantly understand with the old systems.
