The AI hype machine is totally out of control. Part of the problem is that automated processes that have been around for ages now have to be called AI. So it's hard to even know if people are hyping something new or just rebranding the same old stuff as AI. And the problem is that top leaders who can barely work their own phones are convinced this is the biggest thing while having no idea what they would do with it.
That last post was brought to you by AI 🤖🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just like the invention of the computer, it will increase efficiency by some tbd percentage.
Personally, I think it's all snake oil. If you want to replace jobs, do it with proven automations and efficiency efforts. Things you can actually troubleshoot and do root cause analysis on. Fuzzy math and large language models are not the way to get consistent, repeatable results. But who knows? In a few years, we may solve these problems.
I think we’re all screwed
🙋🏻♀️
Case in point, AI told me today that Daddy’s Home 3 was released in 2015.
Spoiler alert - this no Daddy’s Home 3 movie
The hype is excessive … as someone working on the local implementation in the firm 🙃
The loss of certain jobs is inevitable. You won't put the genie back in the bottle on the strength of that argument alone. However, I do have concerns that AI will become self-referential, progressively restrict new inputs into the information sphere and, by this means, become circular and limiting.
It will increase efficiency and take away some brain-numbing, repetitive, entry-level jobs, similar to what computers did.
Overhyped but shouldn’t be ignored. AGI will change how we think and work once it’s incorporated into our day to day
AGI is a million miles off, even the best on the market are still just narrow AIs with a larger number of use cases.
If and when AGI does come along, it will probably change the world like some of the sci-fi material suggests, but at the moment it’s still a pipe dream.
It’s way over hyped and executives of companies that stand to profit from it are playing it up as much as possible. I have been privy to a project where we are working with IT to get a bot to load files into a system without manual intervention. The manual process takes about 30Min a month. We have been working on this project now for 3 years and it’s still not working.
AI is currently at the same point I. Time when the Mac 🖥️ was invented and we are trying to get it to compute and house 10k lines of data. It works but must spend countless hours to get a simple process down and then have to constantly updates for minor changes in data presentation and human error. At this point it’s a money pit. Just better for someone to make it digestible and easy to use and I’ll buy the program for $200 annual subscription and save thousands.
Just be vociferous.
AI as a whole is causing a weakening effect on many of our industries. It should be used as a research tool to streamline developments and gathering information rather than generation of processes or actual automation of them. There are language models being built currently that allows you to import the source material manually, to generate a PROMPT based on the tones and overall subject matter provided, for users to then enter into ANOTHER generative AI language model to output the desired media. In other words, you provide it with Hop on Pop, One Fish, Two Fish, and The Cat in the Hat, and it gives you a prompt that says you want a Dr. Seuss style children's story. If you can't come up with a prompt on your own you don't deserve whatever job you have.
My husband works in cyber security and uses it daily and it saves him hours of work. I don’t personally use it.
I sort of think the biggest threat is hiring folks that aren't as educated as they appear because they rely on AI to read, process and reply to letters, messages, etc. Or they have AI read reports and give a summary... instead of looking through the report yourself and looking for inconsistencies, benefits, growth, yaddah, yaddah. I kind of think it's a form of laziness in people. I understand it's a helpful tool, but also encourages acceptable mediocrity from folks that are obsessed with it.
AI is running rampant like a pack of rabid dogs. The “c-suite” idiots love it. It’s their latest technology fetish. And, yes, you are correct. They couldn’t care less about you or any other employees. Oh and before any of you corporate drones say “well it’s a business they are supposed to focus on making money” go blow smoke up someone else’s butt.
