Imagine being so bad at stuff that using an LLM makes you better.

@david_chisnall Imagine being so slow at walking that a car makes you faster

@david_chisnall imagine that your job is so unimportant that llm results are acceptable

So … in your world, cars do just things that statistically look like transporting people?

@david_chisnall I already feel quite unproductive, but every time I try adding LLM based Systems into my Workflow I manage to get less done than before.

@hfalcke @david_chisnall Imagine looking at the world and thinking the problem is not enough cars.

I'm thinking "catapult" would be a better comparison, tbh.

@david_chisnall Oof. I'll remember this one for later use.

@hfalcke @david_chisnall I read somewhere that the average speed of a moving vehicle in Manhattan is approximately walking pace

[david_chisnall@infosec.exchange]

@chris_e_simpson @hfalcke

I wouldn't be at all surprised. In Cambridge (which has a tiny fraction of the population density of Manhattan), driving is usually faster than walking and slower than cycling (which doesn't stop cars dangerously overtaking bicycles and then pulling in sharply in front of them so that they can stop at traffic lights sooner).

@david_chisnall it's a big bell curve of beigification

Lets face it, beige has a bad name. Maybe it was the omnipresent Docker khakis of middle management 20 years ago, or may

@david_chisnall imagine not being able to be an expert in everything but being asked to do a 100 jobs a day.

I'm hating on what llm mean but maybe pont the critique at the systems and the owners of the systems.

Don't blame the workers for having 100 jobs and only knowing how to do one of them right.

@ambiguous0 @david_chisnall

My job is important, but I fear that LLM results will soon be mandatory. My employer's senior management can't utter two sentences without saying how great AI is and how it's changing everything.

Ah well, it won't be long until I retire.

[vger@gts.necronomi.co]

@Orb2069 Given the externalized costs of cars, it's a pretty good comparison.

@hopeless @david_chisnall lmfao is ego what they call not wanting to learn a programming language these days?

@CppGuy
yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't even have to work well to be a threat. LLMs are imposed on people not on merit but by AI-pilled management.
