Businesses that rush to use AI to write content or computer code, often have to pay humans to fix it.

This isn’t really all that different from “New Manager Syndrome”. we’re going to trim the fat, shake things up around here . Idiot comes in and changes everything, fires some people, destroys morale, then you hire an independent to fix the mess.

I made a good living from this shit, and got a lot of very qualified people good jobs at sane companies. oh, you shitcanned Jane? Hello Jane? I’m going to have Bob call you in a few minutes if you are looking for work

One of our coworkers keeps telling us to trust AI.

We’re like, we get to to generate some code but we always check it. The coworker was like, nah you should just trust it. We’re like, why? He said you should just train it until it gets to the state where you want.

We were like, we’re competent in our fields and we wouldn’t want to use anything in production that’s not checked by a human. Even if it wasn’t checked by a human we should have some checks for sure. Not sure why he’s so adamant about not checking anything.

  Your co-worker is bad at his job, and doesn’t understand programming.
  
  LLMs are cool tech, but I’m gonna code review everything, whether it comes from a human or not.

    That’s plays into the pattern I’ve been seeing.
    
    The “AI prompting experts” are useless as they don’t understand fundamentals

    And doesn’t understand LLMs, which don’t “learn” a damn thing after the training is completed. The only variation after that is random numbers and the input it receives.

As I was reading the article, I had to keep checking the URL to make sure I wasn’t on the Onion. Is the BBC doing satire now?

  Real life is crazier than anything writters can come up with.

This is a legendary head shot, it conveys immense “Sure pay me three figures to waste time explaining to you AI that was easier than actually getting work done.”
