Hubspot AI chat bot told me to go three levels deep into a menu that doesn’t exist, to click a button that doesn’t exist to enable a service that doesn’t exist to solve a problem I had.
My company pays a 5-figure yearly sum for this service 👍
AI will change the way we do everything. All jobs will be replaced.

The way it was going, I thought you were going to solve a problem you didn’t have. Would be fitting.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
maybe I should start asking it impossible questions
“how do I stop contacts from enabling the email flange during the squeej phase of marketing?”
AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sounds a lot like when I Google how to do something in Powerpoint.
technicalogical@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I got to review some AI customer service chats and never did I see it handle an issue from start to finish. It was pretty decent at setting the table for the human element. Unfortunately, the human element fails way too often but that’s for another team to solve, lol.

Is there a uBlock filter list for AI SEO websites? If not then I guess I should make one, it would make my life so much easier especially when looking for a product
blackbirdbiryani@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I desperately need this. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even consider search results from 2023 anymore.

This joke is really old now.
And yes, even if such mistakes are funny at first glance, it doesn’t change the fact that the field of AI has developed incredibly in the last year. And this development actually has the potential to completely change our economy. And not only that.
No, I’m not fun at parties.
NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social 1 year ago
Neither am I. Want to stand awkwardly in the corner with me while we sip on our drinks in silence?

Okay but good goddamn your name IS fun.
Jay@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I looked through your profile.
You seem like fun. Liar!
bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean it’s already impacted our economy, a lot of businesses have hemorrhaged money on it: siliconangle.com/…/report-big-tech-firms-still-st…
SCB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot more companies are making and saving quite a lot of money because of it
People downplaying the value of AI are like people in 1993 talking about how the Internet is just a playground for nerds.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Ah yes, the trend of every new technological development ever. Apparently investment is “hemorrhaged money” until it’s profitable.

I wanna see what happens as the inevitable market crash comes!
echo64@lemmy.world 1 year ago
also, no one said the AI that is going to replace everyone’s jobs and kill the economy because we don’t have a society or economical system that can survive that amount of job losses inside of it was going to be good, or accurate.
the goal of ai isn’t to be good or accurate, it’s to seem plausible.
arken@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The history of chatbots for support purposes show us that jobs will be replaced not when they can be done as good, but good enough, and what “enough” means is going to be a race to the bottom kind of situation over time.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Listen here, robot: Reminder that the Nothing forever hiccup just happened in February of this year. And struggles with POC facial recognition has been a source of discrimination still even now. You’re really trying to sell yourself as better than you are, AI. But you Can’t fool me.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Lemmy is the worst place to get your information on the field of AI or really tech in general lol. “Technology” is a bad word and the only upvoted posts are just false confirmation bias that tech corporations are in some sort if imaginary “death spiral”.
c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Dude for real. Even the “technology” community is just people shitting on everything from eVTOLs to AI, should be called c/luddites instead.
Most of lemmy doesn’t even understand how this shit works let alone has the knowledge to be an authority on it. There’s constant “oh this is going to make the company go under, stupid AI can’t possibly take our jobs!” Nonsense. Yet the cash keeps rolling in and AI becomes more and more integrated into every company.
Hell our cloud engineering team is currently building an in house model to assist data entry level workers with accessing the necessary data they need to do their jobs, and my team has used it to set up automated SFTP backups of our network gear.
It’s not going anywhere, and whenever someone says it’s useless because you can mislead it intentionally, or that it’s just a gimmick cause they “can’t see what it’s good for,” it’s a safe bet they’re just some gig economy worker who can’t conceive of a world outside their bubble.

For niche topics, search engine AI is less than worthless. It produces an unacceptably high proportion of misinformation.
steakmeout@aussie.zone 1 year ago
The pronunciation of country names and their spelling is not niche.
UnspecificGravity@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Especially with the built in biases that the companies that use it build in. Try searching for anything that can even tangentially be defined as a product for sale and that is ALL your results are going to show.
Xeelee@kbin.social 1 year ago
No matter how dumb AI is, it will be an improvement over a lot of people.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 year ago
You could say the same about can openers or shelves, though 🤷
Kedly@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m not sure if you’re praising or damning can openers
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
And unlike humanity, AI will improve over time.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You have to define improvement with AI.
And given that AI doesn’t have observational awareness or ability to see it’s surroundings to compare fact from fiction so it takes direct input from users:it will adapt to what it is scraping.
And if you think it’ll just improve without human interaction for such an objective to be ‘improved’, perhaps you’re one of those people who think becoming a racist bigot spewing hate online where this will get scraped up by AI as an adaptation is ‘an improvement’
The Infinite nothing hiccup was a deep lesson on that.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It is learning it’s facts from these people. So no.

Of course there isn’t. And you know the word “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary, either.

Its fun when you ask it a question and you counter and it says “You’re right”.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah op, it will. Just because ai is an idiot sometimes doesn’t mean it won’t vastly improve. Many jobs will be destroyed, denying it does everyone a disservice
Trollception@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They said that about the internet 20 years ago. It created more jobs than there were before.
c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It also got rid of a metric shit ton of them as well. Like all other economic automation it starts with manual labor being replaced by technical repair and deployment personnel. Then eventually that all becomes automated too.
In the next 50 years you’ll see a whole IT field develop around AI, then slowly it’ll phase out low level IT workers and developers until the only people that are left are QA checking on the AI services to ensure functionality.

Explain why buzzfeed shuttered their news division and said they will be focusing on AI.

Yet somehow we’ll never get ubi or free healthcare.
Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Obviously it will never get better. Ha ha… Ha…
MudMan@kbin.social 1 year ago
It will, but stuff doesn't get better linearly forever. That's why everybody in the 50s thought we'd be living in Mars, have starships and flying cars by now. Also why a bunch of investors and nerds thought AI was the new social media at some point.
Turns out most things get a lot better very fast and then a little better very slowly, and it's very, very hard to know when that line is going to flip ahead of time.
Kedly@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I do want to point out that while our tech doesnt look as amazing in the same way as the 50’s thought it’d be, its pretty amazing in its own ways. I’m writing this message to you on a glass obelisk physically connected to nothing, that enables me to talk to my adopted family on the literal opposite end of the planet with maybe a few seconds of delay (if that), who dont speak the same language as me, and its more than 100,000 times more powerful than the computers thay first got us to the moon, while being small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket
kromem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Jetson’s was supposed to take place 100 years from when it was being made in the 1960s.
Which means the following technologies beat their predictions by decades:
- Video calls
- Robot vacuums
- Tablet computing
- Smart watches
- Drones
- Pill cams
- Flat screen TVs
Flying cars exist, they just aren’t economically viable or practical given the cost, necessity to have a flight license, and aviation regulations regarding takeoff and landing.
And we’re still 40 years away from that show’s imagined future.
Your thesis focuses too much on the things here and there that were wrong, which typically related to expensive hardware cycles being assumed to be faster because the focus was only on the underlying technology being possible and not thinking through if it was practical (doors that slide into the ceiling is a classic example - the cost of retrofitting for that vs keeping doorknobs means the latter will be around for a very very long time).
What we are discussing is the rate of change for centrally run software which has already hit milestones ahead of expert expectations several times over in the past few years and set the world record for fastest growing new product usage beating the previous record holder by over a 4x speedup.
You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha they will. Corpos won’t care if their products and services are bad or worse through AI; they’re de facto monopolists and using AI drives down cost tremendously.
What would they care this leads to a worse society as long as THEY benefit?

So this is weirder than it looks at a glance.
That is not an LLM-generated search result. That is a funny ha-ha mistake a LLM made that then some guy compiled in his blog about AI.
Google then did their usual content-stealing thing, which probably does involve some ML, but not in the viral ChatGPT way and made that card by quoting the blog quoting the LLM making the mistake. And then everybody quoted that because it's weird and funny and it replicates all the viral paranoia about this stuff.
