If you’re fighting it you’re going to be left behind.
Nah. But feel free to consider me left behind if it gets you to shut up.

Unpopular opinion: He’s right. As much as I love to hate ai, it’s becoming a necessity.
I fucking hate “AI”. I hate that companies are betting their companies and employee’s livelihood on something they know isn’t correct ALL of the time. And not just companies, but governments and militaries. Not to mention the damage infrastructure is doing to support it.
However, it’s a tool and has it’s time and place. People just can’t put their head in the sand and pretend it’s not there. If you’re fighting it you’re going to be left behind.

They keep saying we’re going to get left behind, but then they never actually leave.
Such strong words. Also, it’s pretty unlikely I’ll shut up.
Do you have anything you’d like to actually contribute to the discussion? I’m here for intelligent conversation, you could at least explain why you feel that way?
I’d like to contribute this:
You do a massive disservice to humankind by perpetuating the lie that “you’ll get left behind”.
How so? I’m just saying it’s here.
Like it or not.
I fucking hate “AI”
No you don’t lmao. Especially not after using the same “nuanced” glazer points.
plonk
it’s becoming a necessity.
Fucking try me
something they know isn’t correct ALL of the time
Neither are humans…
I expect Joe at the cash register might occasionally count his drawer wrong. However, he’s not going to randomly give me made up shit.
I agree that AI is inhumanly good at presenting wrong information confidently and convincingly.
Humans can be held accountable though. Which means they would rather say “I believe this is because …” than “you are absolutely right! If you remove the voltage regulator from the power supply, it will provide more power!”. And if they don’t, they can be fired or put in prison, where they can stop doing harm.
If your LLM repeatedly lies to you, there’s nothing you can do about it. Maybe try another LLM, but there’s not many of them and they all lie.
I think the perspective of moral responsibility (“lie”, “held accountable”) is not a useful one here. Punishment is one way of discouraging humans from making mistakes but it can’t prevent mistakes entirely. My field is software development and in software development there is the expectation that everyone, even the best human developer, makes mistakes relatively often, and there are frameworks for managing those mistakes. AI can fit into those frameworks.

What is it necessary for?
Feyd@programming.dev 2 days ago
All I know is that it’s changing every month but also I have to start using it every month for the past 3 years or I’ll be obsolete and someone that uses it will take my job. Lolz
Melonpoly@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Lol, my boss has tired using ai to speed things up and all we got in return was unhappy clients.
WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is exactly my point.
And the point of the article.

If you didn’t originally you should read my comment as if it is absolutely dripping with disdain and sarcasm.
WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 2 days ago
For the tools it is actually useful for; everyone has their thing.
I didn’t say it doesn’t have it’s evils. But it’s like saying the internet was going to be a fad. It’s not going anywhere and people are taking advantage of it. If you’re not keeping up with it, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

The internet is a communications tool though. When you look at the history of communications development, from postal service to telegraph to telephone to internet, the internet fits right in there very neatly as the next step. AI is a totally new thing and doesn’t have any particularly comparable analogs in the past. Anyway my point is I don’t think it’s comparable to the internet

How can you bitch about down votes when you have no answer to my question?
WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m not sure what gave you the impression I cared about made up internet points. In fact, I literally said I didn’t care.
As for your question, different people have different needs. For me, I work in the tech industry. AI is changing everything in cybersecurity, programming, data analytics, medical research, the list goes on.
I understand not everyone works in tech. And yes, it has it’s evil. But it’s not going anywhere.
I’m not, nor have I said previously that it’s the end all, be all. I did say it had it’s uses.

GenAI is extremely destructive technology, so it deserves all the hate thrown at it, and the usefulness is still so-so at best.

Coding.
As a life long software developer, the speed at which I can build things is increasing significantly with AI. I’m not talking about vibe coding specifically, but even for maintaining existing projects, it’s a pretty powerful tool.
Feyd@programming.dev 2 days ago
Funny. You’d think we’d have more software if all you people that claim it’s rocket fuel weren’t full of shit, but all I see more if is shitty shovelware no one gives a fuck about
protist@retrofed.com 2 days ago
Most of us don’t code, though
nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Aside from that, it’s very elaborate code and not exactly free of issues. But worry not, it’s tested with more genai.

If that were true, there would’ve been a software explosion, since LLMs have “killed manual programming” for some years now according to the guys that earn money when people believe that.
There hasn’t been any perceivable increase of software products over these years. Nor a decrease in their price.
The only notable differences are:

Yeah, you’re so right. Nothing has changed.
