Fuck AI

They hate me regardless of llm

Classmates too... i know im not gonna use ai and that the people using ai are harming themselves but its still shit to see how little work they have to put into stuff while im writing essays for hours. But the results do show, my teachers are pretty dissapointed in the writing/speech skills of my classmates while im doing pretty well(as well as most other classmates who dont use ai). I could very clearly see how ai could lead to cognitive decline in certain metrics.

A good 20% of my weekly workload is writing summaries of reports that I know nobody reads.

I haven't had a raise in years. They say there no room in the budget but won't entertain any solutions that cut costs.

So I gave myself a raise while I'm looking for other opportunities.

Mine is not a usual situation. I don't recommend LLMs for work that matters in the least. I'm just killing some mindless busywork while people wonder why my brain hasn't melted from it yet.

The new CTO at my workplace just the other day announced they'd partnered with Google to get Gemini Code Complete and they'd be piloting its use on a particular project. They had someone from Google present all the "benefits" of using AI for writing code and everything.

Most of my team is facepalming so hard. Except the one guy who's an AI enthusiast. (That guy is also a massive conspiracy theorist.) I'm not sure about everyone's sentiment, though. I'm kindof sortof "in charge" on my team, and apparently the company's stance is now that AI use is acceptable. If I told folks not to use AI, I don't think the business would back me, so I'm having to be "diplomatic" about it.

So, I've told the team "just... don't push any code to the central repo without understanding it at least as well as if you'd written it yourself."

But yeah. I'm pretty pissed. Hopefully the CTO isn't high enough on the smell of his own farts to decide that "pilot" project is an unmitigated success despite all evidence to the contrary.

"Here are the technical points I am going to implement in my IT service area and in the tactical order they are going to be done. Please dumb this down for me so that a management group can understand it and approve it."

I don't have time to "explain it like you're five", I have real work to do. Judge me all you like.

Are we solving AI slop with peer pressure ??

I'll tell my coworks to gfts if they submit AI code for me to review. If you can generate AI code, I can also generate AI code, and why do I want to review your code instead of my own? Why not, instead of me reviewing your code, I take your task and throw twenty AI output at you, and you tell me which one of them actually works?

I use slop for our review process because the management already decides what the results are before we even begin. Is that an acceptable use case? Ijust need filler text that has no impact on anything.

No, I'm the one doing the hating.

I use it for regex. But ill check it on regex101.

i don’t understand what was the ai they were using that made others so unhappy

If I can use AI to do my boring work or learn something new, then I dgaf what coworkers think.
