Cited examples of why my employer should avoid AI (self.fuck_ai)

I think my employer saw the Shopify CEO’s mandatory AI memo and got a little overexcited.

As a web developer I’ve tried copilot and disliked it immensely. It didn’t save me time because my syntax memory and minimal keystroke workflow are pretty decent after 20 years of huckin’ HTML and CSS in various frameworks.

I feel like if I give studies or interviews from companies who FAFOd I’d have a better chance of arguing my point. Does anybody have any in their back pocket they can spare?

Yes, I am very aware of the irony that I could try to ask an AI but avoiding it is kind of the point in this c, isn’t it?

They do not say that. But you stay in your triggered whine mode forever if you want to. Looking x up in a book vs asking a search is extremely costly and not at all what they researched.

Yes, actually, they do. It took me literally SECONDS to find this:

And that wasn't even the one I was looking for. The one I was looking for I found about a minute later:

I guess you should have asked ChatGPT to find that for you.

Seems like none of these refer to information lookup services but to generative ai

Oh for FUCK'S SAKE!

Stop playing fucking coy. FUCKING NAME your "information lookup services" that are AI powered but not LLMs.

(Hint: they're probably LLMs under the covers, and thus have all the problems that said papers are referencing. But you already know that and are just desperately clinging to the fictitious world you inhabit where "AI", as it is commonly understood to refer to today, is a good thing.)

Compassionate fucking BUDDHA are your kind fucking wearisome to deal with!

So name it. Or shut the fuck up.

I use Google search, gemini, and local llms of various models. I don't get why you are so intensely angry and assuming I am an ai bro? Are you aware where we are are discussing this?

THIS is why I'm so fucking pissed at people like you.

You can't even keep your stories straight from one post to another. You hallucinate more than all the LLMs of the world put together.

So, I put up my receipts for the claim that this shit is making you weaker. As far as I'm concerned, especially with your little instant-contradiction thing here, that pretty much establishes that you're full of shit.

...and assuming I am an ai bro...

Oh, my. Someone coming to "Fuck AI" and defending AI for absurd amounts of time, who ignores evidence provided to counter his claims about the benefits of AI ... why would anybody identify this as an aibrodude?

It's a mystery.

But it's not one that's going to be solved with any more of my fucking time.
