JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.

WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?

Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?

And therapy? Just… 😑

What’s wrong with people in tech?

@baldur tech is so sheltered from the real world. Many people in tech have never done anything else in their life and it shows and expresses itself in total disregard for other people's professions and skills.

(And the fact that many of them should go to therapy to understand a few things about themselves and why they feel the way they do but don't is just the cherry on top)

@tante Yeah. A lot clicked into place the first time I realised this.

@baldur @tante Yep this here. I've got out my bubble and realised the world doesn't work how we're told - like we're building a knowledge management system and I keep telling the bosses they just need to go to one of our factories to see a large proportion of workers are not digitally literate like we are sitting in our rooms, working from home. It's why I've not yet implemented any AI in our system, just good old fashioned human work.
