anyway, I need to pay rent, so I guess I'm a slopper now. at this point, I want to move to a farm and shovel pig shit for the rest of my life.

@AmyZenunim I do not understand this. Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m perfectly capable of getting things severely wrong by my own accord. Why do I suddenly (after 20 years on the job) need a subscription to environmentally horrific auto complete trained on theft?

@AmyZenunim and THEN, when Claude injects some shit into your product that breaks it with catastrophic results, you'll get dumped on for not reviewing Claude's work sufficiently well, to which you respond "If I have to review its work, how does that save time?" to why they'll tell you to shut up. I feel ya. Im right there with ya.

@AmyZenunim I'm getting whiffs of that coming down the pipe at [redacted] and am currently hoping to high hell that the bubble goes bang before that happens... I've had to explain to my boss that one of the reasons I'm so far above my "experience bracket" in terms of programming skill is because I don't think in "natural language," so prompting the robot slows me down, and that's on top of all the other bullshit. (And I do actually have documented disabilities with regards to putting thoughts into natural language, so I suspect the ADA could have some teeth if they try to force the issue...)

@AmyZenunim have you checked for loopholes?... AI is not explicit Neural Networks or Large Language Models for that matter, it's just a branch of all the intelligent machines we have. Just bring a thermostat to work and call it a day. Thats feedback loops and those are AI. #Resist

@AmyZenunim I have this at work too :/ I'm hoping it's some kind of mass delusion that passes when the bubble pops and no one can afford it any more!

@AmyZenunim@unstable.systems this is exactly my nightmare scenario. I feel for you.

Is "tell the company AI to do something token-using in the background, get on with doing normal accurate work yourself" an option? (I'd say "something that provides actual value to somebody else", but examples are hard to come up with. Maybe have it write fanfiction? At least there the errors are funny.)

@AmyZenunim I just heard almost the same story, just this morning, from a friend in Poland. He mentioned how his programming skills were atrophying because he's just an assistant for the AI. Which makes me wonder: If you're coding all the time, how will you adequately review the AI code for errors?

@AmyZenunim this happened to me at my last job too. I feel for you. Hang in there.

@AmyZenunim I feel like half the posts I see are "I'm an AI vegan if you use AI you are a terrible human being" and the other half are "OMFG AI IS GUNNA SOLVE CANCER TOMORROW!" and it's like bro I got rent to pay so I learned about Ralph loops what do you want from me.

@AmyZenunim exactly the same for me.

@AmyZenunim If gen AI is so awesome, why are companies mandating it? Shouldn't its value just become obvious? I am reminded of something Tim Bray wrote about blockchain years ago: " I’m an old guy: I’ve seen wave after wave of landscape-shifting technology sweep through the IT space: Personal computers, Unix, C, the Internet and Web, Java, REST, mobile, public cloud. And without exception, I observed that they were initially loaded in the back door by geeks, without asking permission, because they got shit done and helped people with their jobs. That’s not happening with blockchain. Not in the slightest. Which is why I don’t believe in it." Quote from https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2017/05/13/Not-Believing-in-Blockchain
