I've started encountering the occasional "I had ChatGPT summarize the issue for us" (Almost invariably three pages of nothing that could remotely be considered a summary) at work, and my reflex has been to nope the fuck out and move on to a different ticket. No faster way to move yourself to the bottom of my queue. Have fun getting ChatGPT to fix it. I want to work with humans, not their weird little emotional support sock puppets.
A sock puppet would be more helpful because at least talking with one will help you reason through your problems.
I always keep a few stories at the ready about ai fuckups to educate the masses. Do your part everyone 🫡
Depending on who you’re talking to:
-ai gets shit wrong all the time, is a yes-clanker, …
-ai will delete your shit unprompted
-ai needs to be trained endlessly as it disintegrates endlessly
-ai is troublesome in influencing populations
And if they’re up for it tell em about the lovely people running the shitshow. The human rights violations,…
I worked with a guy who was arguing with me about something and I said, "I'm not sure that's correct." He said, "I asked chatgpt and it told me that." I told him, "yeah, I figured, and I asked chatgpt and it told me the opposite" and showed him the screen.
Like sure it can be useful but don't use it as your one source of truth...
You claim there is no more infuriating sentence, and yet I put this to you:
"I asked grok"
For some reason, the Nazis who use Grok bother me less than clueless normies who genuinely think AI is trustworthy. The Nazis would never contribute anything of value, so them getting brainrot from an LLM isn't an issue.
My coworker starts almost every Teams message either with "Btw I had Claude do..." or "So Claude and I just...". If I message him first, there's a 75% chance the message I get back starts with "Hm, I just asked Claude about this, and...".
All his PR descriptions, commit messages, and comments are clearly "Claude".
I'm this close to start reviewing his PRs solely through Claude, and starting the review with "Here's what Claude came up with in review:".
The only thing holding me back is that this would mean I'd have to use Claude. So... No.
Why do people think we'll be impressed by them not doing the work or thinking for themselves? Pure brainrot
When I tell someone in leadership that something’s a stupid fucking idea and they say they had a long conversation with a bot about it therefore my objection is irrelevant.
If someone says "I asked ChatGPT", I'll probably try to be patient with them. "Well, as it turns out ChatGPT was wrong in this instance. Now go look it up properly."
If someone is using Gemini, I'll probably interrupt them long before they are done and say "excuse me but what in the name of sweet baby Jesus are you babbling on about? You're not making any sense."
If someone says "I used Grok", I'll just facepalm and move the hell on with my life, there's no arguing with that level of stupidity.
Chat GPT told me that I could put my cat in the microwave. I mean yes, I could do that. But I wouldn't. Because that would be awful.
High up people at my job think this is acceptable behavior to vomit text at people with this.
I hate it….
Why ask a LLM when I got a janitor at my local public library that has all the answers.
"yeah well i asked my owner and she said not to worry about it :3"
What I tend to do, rather than copying the output I just check out the sources it used and then I link those when I'm arguing a point.
@grok please explain
