"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.

MODERATORS
All the small restaurants are using it for menus and ads. So many posts and dlyers using AI. Teachers relying on it entirely in classrooms. Smart coworkers deep frying their brain by using it. It’s everywhere.
I'm seeing that, as well. The point is, though, that many of the reactions I've seen have moved from "wow, cool" to disappointment.
Not very smart if they're cooking themselves by relying on it too heavily
I don’t know why people love making this comment on Lemmy.
If party A accuses Party B of doing something they should know better than doing, while describing Party B as smart, they’re expressing shock. Surprise. It’s uncharacteristic. It’s a bigger problem.
Something / an environment that makes experienced people with good judgment throw out their brains is categorically worse than “just” idiots using a tool they don’t understand.
You already know this
No, see, that's exactly my point. Someone who's smart in the well-rounded way you describe, who is experienced and has good judgement, is not someone who would cook themselves with AI. Doing that is a sign that they were likely not that good at judgement to begin with. I'm not saying that smart people can't fall for AI-- they can, and that's noteworthy-- but that it is worth at least reexamining their status as a smart coworker if they fall for it.
