I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.
Aren't a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?
Goddamnit. Take my effing upvote.
Le gem!
Literally this right here.
Much of the craze is almost religious. You have for example Singularitarianism. Basically "Man creates AI, which will create artificial general intelligence, which will create artificial super intelligence, which will bring us the singularity, release us from drudgery and give us eternal life."
I don't doubt that you're good with technology but, I've met MANY people in the information technology field, even with their MS, who were fucking idiots and barely knew shit about technology outside what they needed to know for their specific job.
I've never seen an IT project where the majority of people on it had an ad blocker installed.
I definitely overestimated how tech savvy IT workers were before I started working with them.
You have been in IT for 20 years and don’t understand this? Has your career not made it abundantly clear that the average person is completely computer illiterate and has no idea what AI even is? How many people have you had to assist in 20 years who insist that they have tried every possible solution, only to find out that something isn’t even plugged in or turned on?
I made a mistake in my comment; I failed to clarify that I was referring to the IT industry and not your every day layman. For example, I work under two levels below our CIO/Vice Chancellor (i.e. second in command from the Chancellor/President) of a university, and despite all of the evidence available to them, they still wish to shove AI down our throats.
I will also be interviewing with an IT company next week who prides themselves on “everyone at every level being engineers” who espouse AI coding as the next level for their internal frameworks.
These are the people who are supposed to know better.
And that high level management drives decisions about what technologies to adopt, when they know nothing about it.
Some sales guy on the golf course told them about it.
Man hallucinates for hours each night 🧠🎟️💫
Robot hallucinates one time… 💦 🤖 ☠️
This is why we don’t perform important tasks while sleeping 🤷
