Comment on I'm not sure they will
kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 6 days agoHi, I work in the trades. AI is not a regular part of my life. I have never used any of these chatbots because they seem… half-cooked. Like an Early Access game on Steam. Anyway, the whole thing has zero relevance to my job.
“you’d have to complete isolate to avoid it and it’s reach entirely.”
Nah. I mean, obviously for you, teaching computer science, I can see why you feel this way. But lots of people truly never engage with this stuff because it’s pretty underwhelming. My main interaction with AI thus far has been telling my doctor not to use the chatbot that puts lies into people’s medical records, and that’s about it.
“Online search is ass”
Isn’t this, like, explicitly because of AI?

Oh brother, you have no idea, do you?
This shit is a cancer that has spread all through b2b processes. If you’ve bought gasoline over the last 6 months, all of that was coordinated via AI. Everything from order placement, rights trading & selling, distribution route planning, etc. it’s also worth noting how many phone support jobs have shifted to AI.
Pretty much all fraud monitoring for banks are run by AI now. Both checking transactions and if you call and report a fraudulent charge directly.
Further, you are using Lemmy right now. It is almost certainly running in a docker container, which a tool developed with AI contributions and an integrated AI feature set, and inside of that docker container is almost certainly a Linux distribution, which was developed with AI integrations.
It all ties back to my point that if someone was going to completely shun all things powered by AI, they would basically have to disengage with any system that has been actively developed, updated, or almost even just maintained over the last few years. It isn’t ubiquitous yet, but it is fast approaching that point.
I mean, more or less, yes? That is essentially the point that I was making. The old ways aren’t as effective anymore because they have been replaced with AI. And just not effective as in effective when compared to using AI, but not effective because the infrastructure, systems, and communities that made the old ways possible have been uprooted.
