Comment on Nobel Prize 2024

When I hear “AI”, I think of that thing that proofreads my emails and writes boilerplate code. Just a useful tool among a long list of others. Why would I spend emotional effort hating it? I think people who “hate” AI are just as annoying as the people pushing it as the solution to all our problems.

I don’t think anybody hates computers or spell check. It’s the grifters pushing phony “AI”.

when I get an email written by AI, it means the person who sent it doesn’t deem me worth their time to respond to me themselves.

I get a lot of email that I have to read for work. It used to be about 30 a day that I had to respond to. now that people are using AI, it’s at or over 100 a day.

I provide technical consulting and give accurate feedback based on my knowledge and experience on the product I have built over the last decade and a half.

if nobody is reading my email why does it matter if I’m accurate? if generative AI is training on my knowledge and experience where does that leave me in 5 years?

business is built on trust, AI circumvents that trust by replacing the nuances between partners that grow that trust.

  Hi there GreenKnight23!
  
  I don’t think it’s necessarily you personally they find a waste of time… it might be the layers of fluff that most business emails contain. They don’t know if you’re the sort of person who expects it.
