I am responsible for gathering information on AI to determine whether we should use it for our next project. The ask was to use it for a critical process task. Immediately in my head I was like “no, we are not using AI at all”, but I obviously need quantifiable data. This is just another thing to add to my list of why using AI for core processes is one of the stupidest things you could ever do.

3. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
4. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
5. Most CEOs are older and don’t want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
6. Management does not trust the employees they hired.

The US music industry has always been bullshit, going all the way back to record labels. I would feel bad for the artists, but I don’t give two shits about the distributor who acts like they own the music and feels entitled to all monetary rewards for someone else’s work.

HR has always been the laziest bunch of fuckers in a company, so it is not surprising they want to use AI.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

If it works I will not be picky.

Exactly my thought. I got into software development because designing and writing good code is fun. It is almost a game to see how well you can optimize it while keeping it maintainable. Why would I let something else do that for me? I am a software engineer, not a prompt writer.

AI is actually SUPER good at this and is one of the few places I think AI should be used (as one of many tools, ignoring the awful environmental impacts of AI and assuming an on-prem model). AI is also good at detecting code performance issues.

With that said, all of the fix recommendations should be fixed by hand.

Thanks for reminding me i have a craptop in storage thst i can use for a server.
