If the benefits of AI efficiencies went to the worker, there'd be far fewer critics.

I'm still not convinced there are actually that many efficiencies. It's just moving the work from the writing to the proof-reading and fact-checking, which is a way of saying it makes the work "someone else's problem".I mean, I guess if you're willing to skip that part of the work it increases efficiency, but getting to bad places faster seems like a weird goal.

@cmconseilsOh, I don't really see the efficiencies either. But you can bet that if they exist they aren't benefitting workers.

@cmconseils@killick If there're efficiency gains, start leaving work early or demand a raise, now. If you're giving away productivity growth for free now, you can't expect to start getting the benefits at an unspecified point in the future.

Yup, that's how I learned to never put in extra effort.To stop seeing my todo list as how far I'm behind, and instead see it as an infinite corridor, the rest of which just hasn't been rendered yet.

No one (besides Microsoft) is asking me to use AI. I've no plans to start using it. But I think you're right. If we (workers) had been collectively bargaining for raises with every productivity gain in the last 30 years, we wouldn't have such a wealth disparity as we do.

@cmconseils In half an hour, the boss has another meeting, and will mention he believes in meritocracy

Naturally. My concern is that there straight up isn't any, and that any ownership thinks it's seeing is all an illusion, leaving us all umemployed as businesses crash and burn by the thousands because they're trusting autocorrect to actually do things correctly.

@cmconseilsThat's the part I don't understand. If you and I can see this, why is it so hard for the execs and directors?
There have long been fads in management, but I don't think I've ever heard of one that was 1) so expensive, 2) had so little return, and 3) was actively advised against by the same people promoting it.
The guys driving this bandwagon keep telling us not to use it for anything where accuracy matters, but companies keep using it anyway. It makes zero sense to me.

They're promising to solve the problem of wages, and to eliminate the value of expertise, or even knowledge. Management cannot resist that. And right now, they're charging everybody the "get addicted to this" price, which os a fraction of what the models cost to train and maintain.And when it comes time to ring out alll of the businesses that have gotten hooked, these managers will be long gone, anyway. There's no losing for them.
