"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I was more talking about the OpenClaw / This new Meta thing vertent of "Personal Agent" were you log all your accounts into it and it just "does things for you" on its own versus using AI to create an app.
My coworker was bragging about his AI agent automating a very tedious task for him... I've automated this task as well....with a python script. Works instantly, consistently, and doesn't need to connect to the Internet...
Does your coworker know python?
Nope, but guess what? Neither do I.
You can call me a hypocrite but I'm not totally anti-AI. I use VS Code (free through work) once in awhile as a tool to...make tools. Nothing is particularly advanced but neither are the things his AI agent does for him.
I work in AutoCAD so they're mostly one-off LISP routines but part of my job is submitting the information in the drawing sets separately (device lists, bulk wire requirements, etc). I vibe coded a script that pulls that info and puts it in an Excel template. I have a similar one that does the reverse, pulling the parts list into AutoCAD from a bill of materials.
Both took under 30 minutes and I've used them consistently for a year.
