SahwaTech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much
OddMinus1The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.
I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I’m explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.
its snowingTalking to AI is sort of like talking to a neurotypical person, in that they make up half of what they think I said.
If you talk to AI and feel like you’re going insane…that’s what talking to you without understanding your facial expressions is like. Half of what people say has nothing to do with what I said, and you expect me to just fill in the blanks with your eyebrow movements or something.
4gramsOk, kinda real question here. I have always had major issues picking up on the subtleties of people’s communication. At work for example, they expect things of me that they don’t specifically ask and it puts me in this spiral of trying to anticipate and figure out what they will want. So I overdo everything, chasing down every edge case because I never know what question I had no idea they were looking for.
I kinda like working with AI because unlike people, it doesn’t mind when I drill into a subject. I ask a lot of questions to get clarity, people don’t usually like that.
I also have people pick up and assume things that I’m not saying. If I want to communicate something, I will. My wife for example is always assuming emotions I don’t have. People often think I’m offended or upset when I’m just thinking…
I see comments like this and they resonate. I’m almost 50 and lived with this brain my whole life, but sometimes I wonder.
