Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it

“Your agents!?! You mean the proprietary models you don’t own or control, and just pay a foreign company to utilize, built by people much smarter than you, using software coded by people much more competent than you, and can be replaced or removed at any time? Why do I need you again?”

“I like money. Me want money. Give money now”

The caricature you sketch definitely does exist

But so does the IT hobbyist using an open source model with local hardware and customised training.

Of course i just realise that person wouldn’t call it an agent, they wouldn’t tell you to interview the agent and probably wisely frame it as:

“I develop my own tools and automation systems to free up time and resources for more important projects” at most refer to “machine learning” and absolute avoid using the term “ai”.

If you’re smart, you’d use your personal computer running a local AI model. It’s your expertise that made working prompts because AI on its own is trash. So when you leave, your knowledge goes with you.

  Yeah but you’re forgetting one thing that years in IT have taught me. Most people aren’t smart. Most people are dumber than shit, are barely literate, and refuse to learn. They only know “I press this specific button located at this one place for things to happen”. If the button is changed in any way such as a slightly different color or moved by an inch, they are completely lost and helpless

    I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Thank you. I feel slightly more normal today.

    How’s the joke by George Carlin go again?
    
    Something like “imagine the intelligence of the average person and then realize that half of people are dumber than that.”

    Ugh, you are giving me flashbacks to when the start button stopped saying “start” on it. I lost so much faith in humanity during that upgrade.
