Senior Architect building Drupal sites for more years than I care to count, with a strong focus on accessibility and best practices. Trying very hard to convince people that the AI craze is a pyramid scheme that is going to crash the entire economy. Opinions expressed do not represent those held by my employer or coworkers; they are totally into AI as well, which makes meetings very awkward.

My coworkers used #Rovo in #Jira to create a summary of the work we have done for a client, and it confidently came up with the randomest collection of odd items and inaccuracies, which is especially crazy since the work on this project has been so significant that it has been adapted into SEVEN different contributed modules for #Drupal.
when people are like "well, it will be bad, but probably not as bad as 2008" i'm like hm, i don't know. i don't know.

An #AIRebound? In this economy?

I think this is completely wrong. Companies are just going to stick with delivering poor quality products until after the market finally collapses and we hopefully return to basing investment decisions and capitalization on some shred of reality.

This guy is completely right about #OpenAI going bust, but #AI isn't going away completely, as nice as that would be.

It will collapse into niches that actually make sense and then grow from there.

Been sitting here waiting for three years for the #AIBubble to collapse.

Wow, the #AIBubble might be helping the #StockMarket completely ignore dangers like the Iran War, along with the general entitlement of thinking they are always going to be rescued, no matter what happens.

The Stock Market Expects to Be Rescued

i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.

The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.

And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

Here's hoping our #GenerativeAI tanks are less #Terminator and more #Tachikoma. If we are going to get a #MilitaryDystopia it could at least be an adorable one.

You should really avoid asking #AI chatbots if you have any pigmentation issues on your eyelids.

If you are going to use #AI to write your code, that should leave you with plenty of time to make sure it is properly formatted with clear comments.
