....AI hinders productivity and makes working worse....
I knew it!
they don’t care what humans think about it
they don’t care what humans think about it
I have been directed to use it. I appreciate the unintentional humor in what it produces.
“Study shock! AI hinders productivity and makes working worse”
remember when small copiers were able to be connected to the local area network as printers, and we were told this was a revolutionary step that would lead to the “paperless” office?
i though to myself: “How on earth is making it easier to copy and print stuff out gonna lead to less paper?”
When computers first came on the work scene they were more trouble than they were worth... but the promise existed and could be seen. This appears to be the same.
My new boss asked the crew to write up our thoughts on our department. I wrote a few paragraphs, and some of the other people wrote some comments and the ones who volunteered to write the final document pasted everything into AI and submitted the output. The only thing the boss mentioned after reading was that one of our strengths was we work well as a team and one of our weaknesses was that we don’t work well as a team. That was the last we heard on the subject.
AI is A but not so much I.
This does not surprise me at all.
AI decision-making suffers from the same flaw as consensus decision-making or “groupthink”: there is a built-in bias against creative thinking - thinking “outside the box”.
There are leaders and followers. Most would agree that the most creative thinkers are not the followers. Yet, a consensus is formed when an idea garners the most followers.
I think AI is ultimately process wherein consensus thinking is sped up - and therefore does not produce the best ideas/solutions.
I find AI useful for writing simple code that I need infrequently enough that I forget the details - queuing up JavaScript files in a WordPress plugin for example.
AI wrote me some code that I did not examine closely. It seemed to have no effect. I spent several hours adjsuting things like vewrsion numbers, disabling and overriding caching, re-oring the code, etc...
Turns out it wrote two lines of code where one would have been correct. The second line was overriding the first line, causing nothing to happen.
Use AI but examine the results very carefully before using.
I predict AI will lead to the end of humanity.
I’m guessing it has to do with correcting mistakes that AI will make AI will insist it’s correct, when underling humans are trying to do something differently.
We are so screwed.
I never used AI for programming before retiring, but it sounds like another “productivity-enhancer” that costs more time than it saves. Management brings them in to make themselves seem like they’re keeping up with trends, but the workers actually using it get the harsh reality.
When we started using “Agile” project management, I lost one hour out of every seven just entering plans and status into the tools, and attending the bi-weekly/daily meetings to support the process...a 15% DROP in productivity.
When AI is programmed by libtards it’s lazy and wants something for nothing
Obey the algorithm, mere mortals!
