"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Learning and improving skills in age of AI (thelemmy.club)

Hi, I want to understand how you guys learn new things in the age of AI? I am a software engineer relatively new to the industry ~5 YOE. I am trying to learn new things in my job but since we use so much AI for programming and stuff, I feel that I might not be learning as much as I would have if AI did not exist.

I cannot stop using AI since it does make few things easier, and also my company keeps watch if someone is not using enough tokens. On other hand I also dont want to fall behind on my task deadlines by doing things old school way.

Is there any way to get better at workplace in this situation? I just want to get really, really good in my domain.

super easy... DONT USE AI, Learn everything by hand, from books, guides, other humans.

when you can do the work without referencing a lot of outside things, then use AI as a TOOL to confirm things... not create it.

never relay on AI.. pretend it doesn't exist when working.

r relay on AI… pretend it doesn’t exist when workin

I have deadlines and token usages to meet. I just cannot stop it.

Then you're locked in by your employer.

I switched mine also in part of AI bullshit.

[–] fake_tourist@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

hey not everyone can switch like this and this particular job I really care about because I gain access and opportunity to work on things I would not at many other places. Actually all other companies in this domain are also same with the AI usage.

Just answering your question, truth hurts and isn't very convenient.

Also finding another employer that's perfect in thst regard might have other unexpected downsides.

Short, they're part of the problem in any case.
