Forced to use AI at work, hate it.

@alexmu @fesshole Ignoring that the story is probably made up because there's an audit trail that'd get them fired, if they're required to use the thing in their job anyway, there is nothing unethical about meeting the requirement in a way that protects themselves from the cognitohazard and deskillling and sabotages the boss's intent. Same harm to planet either way and that's on the employer.

Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.
@fesshole I think I will play this game, too. Until “thinking allowed” is back.

@fesshole why are you forced to use Ai? I doubt it helps make your job easier
Companies are truly blind to what employees and general public actually want tbh
@cheezybuffet @fesshole Why? LLMs are frowned upon and companies bought so many expensive “eeehhh eyyyy” plans…
-
@fesshole that is genuinely horrific. Those tokens you burn are actual resources in the real world, like water and fossil fuels.
@alexmu @fesshole id rather burn resources my dipshit employer pays for than starve. like i get what you're saying but trying to lay this at an individuals feet, especially an imaginary one... its not going to help your position which i share and have aspirations for beyond being framed as "woke nagging" and default ignored by normies

@dalias @fesshole is it really mandatory? Have you taken it up with the employer? How do your workmates feel about it? Have you talked to them? If the employer is threatening to fire you because you don't use llms then there are labour laws that can protect you (at least in the civilized countries).
Even if you are forced to use llms, you can do it in more productive ways. Use it to save work if you can, and use the spare time to join/form a union, raise awareness with your peers on how this is damaging to their careers, do something that actually has a chance of changing things.
