I gave a lightning talk about the use of generative #AI at our engineering offsite this week. My general conclusion is that it is useful in some places but where you are a domain expert the gains might not be there. Just before the talk I came across this study:

no idea if you notice the mistake, but the people who always complain about vibecoder (meaning those who can’t handle #ai) would probably say this is what happens when you code with ai. i’d say if it had been done with ai, that clueless excuse of a developer wouldn’t have forgotten to link the second copy button 🙄 🤦

The current AI models let you easily experiment with application ideas like never before. For experimentation, quickly trying out ideas, they are great. That is something completely different from serious/professional use I am fully aware. Still your creativity is now the limit, not your knowledge of python, jscript etc and that is fascinating .

Well, today marks a new low in my professional experience with AI. For the first time in my life, AFAIK, I’ve been quoted in a technical article using a quote that was hallucinated by ChatGPT. Author has been contacted, fix has been made, and stern advice given. It’s truly depressing that people who are perfectly capable of writing their own work are outsourcing to tools that are known to make 💩 up. #AIslop
LLMs are a fundamentally useless technology because their applications (supposedly) boil down to humans not having to think for themselves or do their own writing / drawing / filming.
But if you can do it on your own - why would you need a robot to do it? It’s, at best, a novelty.
That’s why this shit only resonates with executives and capital owners. “Get things done with fewer people and expenses” is at least an actual pitch. “Get things done faster for yourself” isn’t.
The individual angle really works for things you already were trying to avoid doing because you’re either disinterested or don’t have enough time to do things right.
“Avoid your work” as a value proposition doesn’t work when you’re dealing with intellectual labor rather than commodities. Not large scale, not long term.
Sorry for the rant, I saw some Notion ads on the subway and got irritated 😅

Deeplearning.ai is a resource i can really recommend for free (!) courses on various AI subjects, serious, no hype. For example the Agentic AI course by Andrew Ng does a good breakdown of the hype around "AI Agents" / "Agentic AI".

Using #AI is an ethical choice.
I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
