Every single manager i am forced to interact with now says they would “just use copilot” as an answer to every complex problem we have to which I respond “go on then” while glaring at them

Good fucking luck asking copilot to solve whatever shitfuck you paid consultants to wank out for 50 gazillion vbucks. Copilot has no concept of black box bespoke microservices not one person understands and is written in a language nobody uses.

Also they act like we dont use ai for programming. We do but its for mundane shit like write me a bash script that does x because i cant for the life of me be fucked to ever learn bash or powershell to a degree i can write it fluently from memory

If they're a c-suite exec they think you're being pessimistic because you fear for your job.

If they're a rando they think the propaganda they've ingested is right and you're stupid or they didn't see you as an expert compared to the propagandists.

My father-in-law tells me almost every time we visit about how I need to "get with the times" and "find a way AI works for me". I get real tired of his insinuation that if I don't adopt it I'm just going to be forever out of a job.

I do work for a client that uses a very bespoke Linux OS setup that's been developed over decades. They continue to frown in frustration at how AI doesn't magically know how to support and debug it and that I continue to have to be paid to do that instead.

It's almost as if AI 'knowledge' isn't magical but mostly refers to a huge public corpus of troubleshooting, patterns and documentation by humans who already did the actual work and shared it online. Like.. a search engine.

If humans didn't already do it and write extensively about it online, then AI is just completely lost. And continues to confidently spout dangerous and bad information. Because, and I can't stress this enough, it isn't magic.

not going along with the money = not smart

I'm a programmer and I hate ai. But it's being forced on us at work, so it's unavoidable if I wish to have an income.

I wouldn't doubt it.

What people?

Yo, as an artist I can relate bigtime, in my experience it's always been the same people who have a disdain for art, they're just more bold about how much they hate the fact that I exist now.
