I had to tell a potential employer recently that I won't ever use generative AI.

apparently gugle already uses it for 25% of their coding
Lol, if you're talking about Alphabet it will probably cost them more from paying out bounties to people who discover bugs and insecurities.
but at least one middle manager got promoted, so it's all good
Maybe not Chat GPT specifically, but you can hardly use the internet without some AI being pushed on you.
There's a difference between passively using something and actively using something.
I use electricity every day, but I have no idea how it's generated. I (assume I) use RSA256, but if you ask me to explain block cypher encryption to you I'd just go "well you take a number and another number and....... hope they have sex to produce a bigger number?"
I use a lot of stuff without having to know how it works and having to choose to use it.
Not understanding how to use new technology, even flawed ones, isn't a flex
Yeah thats called ignorance and we shouldn't be celebrating it.
I understand LLMs well enough that I really don't want to use them because they are inherently incapable of judging the validity of information they are passing along.
Sometimes it's wrong. Sometimes it's right. But they don't tell you when they're wrong, and to find out if they were wrong, you now have to do the research you were trying to avoid in the first place.
I tried programming with it once, because a friend insisted it was good. But it wasn't, and it was extremly confidend, while being exceptionally wrong.

TIL I'm a LLM
Yeah using it for that reason would be using it wrong. They're pretty decent at name/description generation. That type of thing. Or it can point you to where to actually look to figure things out - almost like having it design a teaching plan.
Congrats, then don't use it to validate information.
LLMs are incredible text generators. But if you are going to judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, then you are never going to find its potential.
Yes, there are tons of bogus AI implementations. But that doesn't say anything about the validity of the technology. Look at what VLC is doing with it for example.
It is pretty clear by those statements that you understand LLMs less than what you claim.
It's so strange seeing people being proud that they can't keep up with the technologies.
I used to know a guy like that. He would say stuff like "I didn't even know how to use a computer mouse!" It definitely sounded like he was bragging. Such a weird thing to be proud of.
technically a keyboard is faster, but yeh weird flex
Yeah, that's just judgemental and presumptive.
I have quite a lot of shit in my life, and I have actively decided to pay no attention to AI. Not because "I can't keep up with it" but because after some research into it I decided "it was bullshit and nonsense and not something I need to know about"
Mate, I don't know you and I don't care about you. Stop talking about yourself for a second. You posted a screenshot where the person said "I have never even tried it." That's it.
Cus you don't need to try something to have done some research on why you wouldn't. A basic, cursory search of 'what is chat gpt' would get you LLM, and a basic cursory search of LLM gets you 'machine designed to make shit up whenever it doesn't know the answer, meaning you can't trust it'. Not to mention they've probably seen at least one screenshot of it failing miserably at counting letters in a word. Or they've seen the ai answers Google shoves down their throat and learned from basic word of mouth that GPT is More of That. The only thing they said they don't know is WHERE GPT is, or how it's accessed.
