To be fair, yes, I'm just another person on the fediverse for all of you, but for me, this is the reality I live in.

I've always wondered about all the AI hate around here, and if this is just a fediverse thing, but realized recently that it's not. In fact, people are generally getting tired of constant LLM and genAI use. I've already noticed people getting turned off by AI flyers more and more, sentences like "oh, they switched to an AI flyer", in a voice of disappointment. And recently, I was at a trade show, talking to one of the reps at a booth, and it was really interesting to hear what he had to say on the topic. Apparently, two years ago, he constantly got questions about AI, wanting to hear that the products contain AI. This year, people also ask him fairly often if his products have AI, hoping to hear that they don't have AI. And he was able to clearly say, there is no AI in his products (at least not the LLM kind, only the classic, non-neural network kind).

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.

"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.
