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)

@baldur @tante Nope. The people pushing this are scam artists pure and simple.

Why do they not get called out about it? Most people in news media are incompetent when it comes to most things(pick something you know about and then start reading the reporting around it... it will be terrible... and that is will be no means an outlier, but the standard).

That problem is further made worse thanks to lots of mergers of media/news companies.

Which is further made worse via the 1980s making incompetent business decisions that value only the very short term the standard the world over.
