Throwing one more story into the "Is AI going to replace all jobs?" folder.

@tk @evacide Not fast enough

@congusbongus @evacide “It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time,” was also in my clipboard. The quote was probably not delivered as it would be in a British comedy show but it reads as though it should be.

@pier @evacide That reads more human to me. It's the kind of mistake you might get from deciding to flip the order during editing and not quite finishing the job. Slop text tends to be superficially polished (no typos, etc.) but mostly waffle.

@evacide A search engine that can't even pull correct numbers from its database is a shitty search engine.

@evacide I'm happy the press starts to put some bearish pressure on AI, that's how to pop a bubble

[flawgren@mastodon.nu]

@evacide The fact that they don't seem to understand that I don't actually want to talk to anyone, especially not a chatbot, before I have my coffee, clearly demonstrates their gross incompetence.

[lennybacon@infosec.exchange]

@guy_bockamp @evacide Care to explain?

[garyjr@fosstodon.org]

@evacide can't count beverage ingredients but it will absolutely do everything else possible right?

[moskitohero@ruby.social]

@benroyce @wwahammy @evacide yeah, it's purple and has stars around it!!! So exciting!

@evacide This is not LLM btw. It's warehouse management system that used lidar to track items. It's GOOD technology that we want to succeed - nobody should work warehouse inventory manually.

AI hate is so unserious.

@pier @energisch_ @evacide Sasha Rogelberg seems to be real, at least she has articles with different outlets, a photo, and socials.

Fortune

@pier @energisch_ @evacide I'm not sure if two articles per day is a normal output for a non-slop journalist?

@evacide

CVS has replaces its simple phone tree "choose 1 to speak to a pharmicist" with AI and I end up screaming "Operator" repeatedly at the end of the interaction because it can't function. I invariably begin my voicemail, once I get there, with some strong words for management.

[larthallor@mastodon.social]

@evacide Discounting the eventual elimination of something like 90% of contemporary jobs via AI because of anecdotes like this is equivalent to laughing at a broken down Model T on the side of a trail in 1913 as you pass by in your trusty horse-drawn carriage, shaking your head at all the people saying the automobile is the future.

The problem with AI is not that it doesn't work. The problem with AI is that it, increasingly, does.

Despite what Donald Trump thinks, I could only boycott my Starbuck's purchases down by 100% (which wasn't much, really, because their coffee always tastes burnt and I didn't like it). But, can I multiply my boycott by buying coffee from their competitors?

@evacide @briankrebs #NoAI

@evacide

“One general theme that to me is … a little bit perplexing, is how, on many levels, [return on investment] seems not to be a main consideration [of AI tools]—the promise that down the road all this is going to make sense,” Gallino said. “That is something that can be out of focus in the middle of the hype.”

[btuftin@social.coop]

@funkylab @evacide pretty sure AI was used to write it too. It's full of contradictory statements.
