I have realized a lot of posts on here mostly criticizing the data collection of people to train A.I, but I don’t think A.I upon itself is bad, because A.I- like software development- has many ways of implementations: Software can either control the user, or the user can control the software, and also like software development, some software might be for negative purposes while others may be for better purposes, so saying “Fuck Software” just because of software that controls the user feels pretty unfair, and I know A.I might be used for replacing jobs, but that has happened many times before, and it is mostly a positive move forward like with the internet. Now, I’m not trying to start a big ass debate on how A.I = Good, because as mentioned before, I believe that A.I is as good as its uses are. All I want to know from this post is why you hate A.I as a general topic. I’m currently writing a research paper on this topic, so I would like some opinion.

    I hate the way people talk about AI. They’re going crazy at work pushing people to use it for everything while you have people doing less and less more poorly claiming they save 50%. Everyone is more efficient and has greater efficacy while nothing gets done.

    AI is a great tool for programming - next step up from autocomplete, search, and templates. It can be useful to speed up some coding tasks but it’s rarely a final result. So I’m the Luddite where we have some non-technical manager trying to guide a bunch of us on zoom through a coding task with ai. Not only will she not listen but the only result so far has been clarifying that she needs to define requirements

    And I almost missed lunch today spending almost two hours on a code review from someone who clearly had ai generate it and never tried to build, never wrote tests much less ran them, never actually put any thought into cleaning up the generated stuff to actually make it work. He had a bit of what I swear is Perl in his Java “code”.

    I had to feed a write up through ai to translate it to something that “saved me time” by looking like ai wrote it
