Comment AI negativity? (Score 2) 72

There has got to be something positive about AI and LLMs? Sure there is an over the top hype, but everywhere I go, people are talking about how they integrate AI in their flow and are constantly out of tokens.

I remember when facebook was hot. People pointed out that it could not monetize itself. Decades later? Still alive and kicking. So it can't be that simple.

Comment Facebook is better? (Score 1) 77

Switched jobs years ago. Now am a simple high-school teacher. That used to be different. So I have a lot of relatively high profiles on my linked in. I see posts passing by in the overly optimistic typical linked in style. (I am thrilled to announce a new opportunity blabla). So as a matter of parody, I asked chatgpt to write a summary of my newest achievement: correcting 265 exams. Of course I needed some buzz words, so I asked it to also mention that I was experimenting with Ai to help correct and that it was looking promising. Last instruction was to do it in an over the top LinkedIn style. The result was hilariously accurate. So I posted it. ... ... ... They did not get it was a parody. I never had a post with that much engagement... Fun part, I added my prompt as the first comment. I got congratulations from people I hadn't seen in more than a decade... They followed up to hear about my fancy Ai project...
It is even more fake than Facebook.

Yup... this sounds all too familiar. Once had a desk close to the sales team. Things I overheard there are similar to what I read here.
Once chatted with a near retired engineer about this. He said he worked for more than 8 companies in the last 20 years. All that in the same building behind the same desk doing the same job. Tons of strategy changes, restructuring, but nothing really changed. He said that the sole purpose of it all was to keep people with no technical skills busy doing nothing of value.

Please do not report this. My colleagues and I use this trick a lot. Students should not know this or we lose one of our funniest Ai fraud detection methods. It is like a Byzantian dung beetle that penetrates the defenses of a Mandalorian ant colony. Once the walls breach, there is no stopping it.

Metaphor: I once participated in a 10 km beach run. I prepared modestly. We arrived. It was taking place in one of the richest cities of the country. I wore a simple t-shirt, cheap running shoes. The others? Fancy sports clothing fancy specialized shoes. It was a bit intimidating.
Race started. My god! The speed was way too high for me. I decided to conserve energy. As a consequence, I was one of the last ones in the race. Shame!? Wind was hard comming from the front. Sand slowed you down. Maybe simple shoes were not a good idea? The second part of the race we had wind in the back. Sand was wet so was easier to run on. I noticed I still had energy so I started to make speed. I started to overtake people. A lot of people. Too many ignored their own capacities and went all in in the beginning to make sure they did not end last. They were starting to pay the price. I definitely did not win that race. I ended up somewhere in the better half.
