"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.

I lead a lot of the AI work at my organization. Sr leadership is chomping at the bit to find an area to reduce headcount. It's just not there. Nobody can understand a solid enough ROI. Most all the companies say it saves time and can shave FTEs but there's no proof. If anything it added an entire section we had to fill expertise which has added headcount. Which data scientists for AI and engineers and architects who understand AI aren't cheap. Helluva lot more expensive than the jobs they're hoping to replace.
I did replace a bunch of tasks with “AI” this year, but none of those tasks are worth a full employee. They do save time so our employees can get more done.
Execs want me to build more AI tools, but frankly I’ve built all the ones which can be made reliable.
I pretty much use LLMs to manage jira for me.
Someone I work with uses the jira LLM to make the worst tickets I’ve ever seen though. They’re massive.
I've been asked by my manager to come up with a goal for next year on how to augment my job with GenAI.
Why not combine two hatreds at once - GenAI and Jira. Thanks for the idea!
