Co-worker: I'm sure AI can do XYZ. It's all well documented. How hard could it be?
Me: I'm not convinced. I'm happy to be proven wrong but I'm not going to take it on faith.
Co-worker: 😶
... two minutes later ...
Co-worker: If only it could write my statement of work for me. That's my least favorite part of my job.
Me: So why do you want that to be your whole job?
Co-worker: ...
It's really not that hard, people. 🙄
Ya'know what else really bugs me?
After staring at me for a few seconds dumbfounded, struggling to find an answer to the question, he said something like, "I like talking to people." Then, realizing that talking to people wasn't a job, he clarified, "I like talking to people about what my AI will do."
Y'all... These people just want to be slaveholders. They want to have this amazing AI servant that just does whatever they want and they want their job to be to sit around with the other white AI guys and talk about what their AIs are doing. They want to live like a southern plantation holder.
It's not because we've created this great thing that helps people get work done. We haven't. It's because we've created this hype and propaganda machine that's giving white dude with dreams of power a technoboner.
