Will AI help you in your career? No. Not if anyone finds out, anyway. Today in science discovering the obvious, if you use chatbots to pump out the AI slop at work, your coworkers think you’re an i…
Yeah everyone at my job is enamored with LLMs for some reason. This week someone asked me a (very simple) question, but started out saying “AI was useless for this question” and linked to a screenshot of an LLM conversation.
Normally I don’t mind simple questions that much, even though as a professional programmer he should learn to debug his own compiler errors; but the constant adoration of LLMs is driving me mad.
Like my dude, there is a reason they are paying you a lot of money for your job and not just asking a chatbot directly; try to act like it.
The AI problem is still in an earlier stage at my job, but I’ve already witnessed in a code review that code was pointed out as questionable, and then it was justified with what amounted to “the AI generated this, it wasn’t me”. I really don’t like where this is going.
Hopefully, the AI bubble’s spectacular implosion will wipe out your fellow programmers’ adoration of these plagiarising lie boxes and we can hopefully move on from these godforsaken blights on humanity. (At the cost of another 2008-style global economic meltdown. And America imploding in on itself. And maybe the end of the world, if our luck’s sufficiently shit.)
(ah, who am I kidding, most programmers are fucking idiots (no offence), they’ll probably still be enamored with autoplag even if all that happens)

Aaaah I want out

A colleague said “I don’t know how it works, but it seems to. The AI generated it” and I wanted to hurt him.
