What a crock of shit. We all know that's what they want, but it's not happening.

[-] assembly@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Until the AI results can be trusted, I don’t see how this happens. I’ve been using AI for some questions that would normally be on stackoverflow but I don’t find code generation to save me time. Because I can’t implicitly trust the product, I still have to review the code before I can use it. If I have to review and understand it, it rarely saves me time. There have been edge cases where it helped me in some areas, like turning a CSV into a visual report in PDF format but I still had to review everything. It just happens that I suck as report tools so it was a shorter amount of time for me to review the AI report than to put together visualizations myself.

I'd offer a small correction: that ain't happening as long as companies are liable for the AI's work. If companies can just blame the model and get away with a fine that's less than the savings, they absolutely will take that deal. Keep companies accountable and the bubble will burst

You're not using it correctly. You're supposed to vibecode the entire application by defining good parameters. You don't debug or fix stuff, you just iterate. You just make a new application with revised parameters.

If you tell the LLM "this is bad, make it better", it will have the bad thing im it's context and it will therefor try to make the bad thing again.

Instead, if it makes a mistake,you throw out the whole thing and start over witg revised parameters.

This will save us money in the short run. In the long run... who cares.

You forgot "/s" I tried that a few times. With and without welling what's wrong. After 3-5 times it gives you the first solution it offered. Tell them that and it ignores it.

It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

They just want investment hype.

Just 6 more months bro, trust me. Please bro just 6 more month and it'll happen bro

[-] lurker@awful.systems 7 points 3 days ago

just one more data centre's gonna do it! just give me a couple million more bucks!

Tesla will drive autonomously soon, before 2018, promise.

News nowadays:

  • Highly paid football team coach says: "Football is the greatest game in the World".
[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 62 points 3 days ago
  1. No it won’t.
  2. Anyone who frames LLMs as ‘intelligence’ is betraying they don’t understand what they’re talking about.
  3. Any work a LLM can perform effectively is work no human should be performing.

When is media gonna recognize all of the people saying this stuff are AI company CEOs

[-] jaredwhite@humansare.social 38 points 3 days ago

Stop making "AI can replace humans" happen. It's not gonna happen!

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

No, no, no!

Keep trying, Microsoft!

Just put a couple more hundreds of billions into it!

Don't trust the naysayers - you're almost there!

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

fr I've been reading headlines like this for years now, and LLMs are still shit at doing anything other than produce things that superficially look good but rarely stand up to close inspection.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Expecting that one can improve an automated parrot to the point of getting intelligence is like expecting that one can improve the miming of a invisible barrier to the point that one gets an actual physical invisible barrier.

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They are right. If Microsoft keeps using AI to develop their products there will be no more jobs at Microsoft.

Let's start with this Microslop AI chief.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 days ago

Well it certainly is wiping out Microsoft, so he is not wrong

[-] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

And I do not say this lightly

HAHAHAHAHA

What a load of shit. Start with your shitty C suit executives

"AI is going to do this very big thing" - someone heavily invested in AI.

This isn't a warning, this is a sales pitch.

[-] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Well, no vested interest there.

[-] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 days ago

Fuel that bubble, bud. It's running out of soap.

Well you know what they say.

“You first”.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 days ago

It’s hilarious how the AI-pushing CEOs have determined that the best way of selling more subscriptions is to act like a terrified chihuahua pissing itself because of how super strong and scary they pretend their product is.

[-] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago

How about you make your OS able to update itself without bricking then we can talk about revolutionizing the world, eh?

[-] mech@feddit.org 18 points 3 days ago

"...so you'd better not ask for a raise!" is the unspoken addition to that quote.

[-] Akh@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

The same Chief who said they needed to find something useful with their product or risk public backlash?

[-] darkmarx@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Counter point: It won't.

This is like being told you could win $100M when you're handed a lottery ticket. There is a lot of weight on the word "could."

Except in this case the lottery doesn't exist, the ticket is a fake, and we're all about to be screwed when the bubble bursts.

So, in a way, he's right. A lot of white collar (and blue collar and no collar) jobs could be gone in 12 months, due to the AI bubble popping. Nice of him to put his name out there now so we know who's to blame.

[-] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 3 days ago

Let's replace him with an AI. Let's hang an ugly leather jacket up in a datacenter and replace Jensen Huang while we're at it.

Mmhmm yes, snake oil salesman, tell me more about how your snake oil is going to cure capitalism. I believe you.

is he talking about his own job?

While it's true anyone that has asked an LLM a question about a field they are an expert in knows this is bullshit, your bosses boss can likely be convinced otherwise.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

So he's searching a blue-collar position now? I've heard farmers are short-handed, so if he got his papers in order ......

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Another, "trust me, bro" article to keep that bubble pumped just another week

How is this different from what they all claimed 3 years ago:

He claimed that this AI model will be able to do almost everything a human professional does. adding that it will allow Microsoft to offer powerful AI tools to clients that can automate routine tasks for knowledge workers.

The only "difference" I see is that now they are calling it "Professional Grade AI"... I guess they were just pumping out the "amateur grade AI" until now

Start with CEO and project manager please!

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Hahahahahaha. My firm is so overworked thanks to work cleaning aftwr AI related fuckups that we are often triple booked or more.

If this keeps up, gray beards are going to retire in luxury thanks to this AI bullshit.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
