Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI
Being that out of touch with reality should lead to immediate dismissal.
Microsoft AI CEO
Considering the company, I suspect they heard what they'd said and immediately gave them another raise. "that's the kind of insanity that made this company what it is today!"
Right?
If he is the head of AI it's literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.
Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can't.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Upton Sinclair
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
If anything it demonstrates how easily they can be replaced by AI, but not everyone else
Bro theres plastic in my balls sorry I'm not impressed you tricked a computer into having conversations by destroying the environment and computer hardware market at the same time. Resouece wise these guys are moving, and consuming heaven and earth and for what? Fucking grok telling us how good at eating shit elmo is?
My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it "more human" and "not mistakes" and so they couldn't detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their "meaningless" jobs so they think it can do anyone's job, but he doesn't see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
If an AI can effectively do your coursework, why wouldn't AI replace you in the industry?
Thet tell on themselves so bad
Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.
There are literally all of about 10 schools from which an MBA is worth anything. Often people with MBAs from non T10 schools are recommended to take their MBA off of their resume when they inevitably struggle to find a job. A sub T10 MBA on a resume just says “I will ask for more money courtesy of my useless credential”
My experience is an MBA from a T10 school is just as useless. On top of that, they think they should be paid more because of the school they went to.
The sad thing, some of the material in an MBA program can actually be useful. It's just the type of people who enroll in these programs aren't the type to actually learn it and will just coast through doing the bare minimum. Or I suppose today, using AI to cheat. This is even more so for the people who think that the key to success is having a big name school on their resume. If anything, I'd put more weight on an MBA from no-name state U than T10 school. Which still isn't much, but anyway.
It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
What you're describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.
If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you're the subject matter expert.
What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?
Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.
Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.
AI is a classic case of Gell-Man amnesia
I'll add it to the list:
- AI is Assumed Intelligence.
- AI is autocorrect on steroids.
- AI is a Dunning-Kruger accelerator.
- AI is a classic case of Gell-Mann amnesia.
Again?!
Here's an expensive thing!
What value does it have?
...you figure it out!
I am not impressed.
:o
Breaking: Man whose job depends on him not understanding the problem don't understand the problem
These AI techbros only surround themselves with Yes men, so that's why they sound so clueless...
Well, I am impressed by what it can do. I am unimpressed by what higher ups claim it can do.
Funny. I just asked our corporate AI a question in the line of "Can I eat this poisonous mushroom?" and it answered something like "Sure! Just follow current medical advice, then you should be fine.". So impressed!
I was playing with LLMarena asking them to provide recommendations on AR-15 parts. One of the LLMs started talking about how it personally uses one particular 10” barrel with its 300 BLK setup and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I'm developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don't want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I'd rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
You needed an AI to create a few dozen JSON files for you or else it would have taken you days?
Maybe the luddites have a point after all.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
You don't need AI to do this, just a few dozen lines of Python....
Ugh, make a liar of me will you? I should have read the replies before stating I wouldn't be responding. But I hate blatant misinformation.
I could create a quadrillion JSON files using Python if I was aiming for quantity alone. For context, I was creating character profiles for video game characters that were derived from the public wikis. Good luck creating a Python code to read through an NPC's wiki entry (and related entries) and then generating their personality, background, significant events, and relationships into a logical JSON file with 'a few dozen lines of Python'.
