Andrew RadevOh no, the AI rollout would have totally worked so well if it wasn't for those Damn Kids sabotaging it. They do it out of fear, you see, because the AI companies' random text generators are so good at, like, jobs and such.
Phil Haigh@AndrewRadev just using it and stubbornly refusing to correct obvious errors and omissions would be enough in most cases…
@AndrewRadev I’m not anti AI (small scale, focused, and carefully trained models can do amazing things) but LLMs can’t die quickly enough. The fact that they can’t do what they are being sold for is the least of my concerns. Power, water, ethics, legality of training data, de-skilling of people, eventual need to charge what these things actually cost plus a margin, oh and all future training data is just rehashes of the old data. And anything really new has… no training data at all.
Just a few issues. What’s to go wrong?
@AndrewRadev I mean as an old school software engineer I’d probably be able to find a lot of work after 2-3 more years of even medium scale LLM use in the industry to “write” software. But that’s only if I want it, because by then I won’t need to work, I’ll be choosing to work.
