Is AI really as "productive" as corporate executives think it is?
>>109007132AI is just good enough to fool tech-illiterates into thinking it's more and better than it really is. It's the ultimate midwit trap.
>>109007132Nobody in big corporations is using AI to actually increase productivity. Software is only becoming worse and LOSING features.AI is brilliant at making it seem like you're productive, in a world where that productivity is still measured in LOC shipped.
>>109007132Ai can do Pajeet-tier bloat code and this >>109007152. Not the biggest use case so far.
>>109007132LLMs are very good at very specific things. They are not all-powerful, they are not all-knowing, and they have very limited context memory compared to a human being. You can use AI to enhance productivity, if you're smart and know what you're doing, which corporate executives are not, because they are retards. They want to throw AI at everything and see what actually works, which is biting them in the ass now that companies are jacking up the prices. We're already seeing chinks in the AI bubble because the cost/value math just doesn't work out right now. It may at some point in the future, which is why they're throwing so much money at it, trying to get us to that future and reap the benefits from it, but we're probably a few significant technological jumps away from that.
>>109007132AI has already made me more productive at home. I don't have to read much documentation for homelab stuff. I can gloss over what Gemini or Grok spits out. If something looks off, I just verify it.
>>109008092Me too. I make porn with me and my coworkers. I coom and coom and coom. It's CASH.
>>109007828Another big problem with "AI" (LLMs) is that it struggles to synthesize new information. If you present AI with something it's never encountered in its training set before, it schizos out. What will happen when new technology comes along and obsoletes current models? Will society spend trillions of dollars again retraining the models on new information? Or will we purposely stagnate our programming languages, frameworks, etc. because "it lets us use AI with it"
>>109007132There are few possibilities.>If AI gives super powers to developers>They can produce 10X more for each individual dev for a company. 1) This means the company can cut the devs to 1/10th the size to maintain the same productivity level.2) This means the company can keep the same devs but generate 10X the valueBetter yet, in the 1st scenario, all the laid off devs can start their own single person company, and employ 100s of AI agents to do the work of a whole company.

>>109008366Use backend tools to give it internet access, retard.
>>109008404The internet is flooded with disinformation because of generative AI. How will AI be able to tell the difference from genuine sources versus some retard or AI making shit up? The internet is borderline useless already. AI is only good because it was trained on web forums, early reddit, and stackoverflow (before smartphones ruined everything by flooding the internet with retards)For every 1 correct source of information, you have 1000 indians and 100000 AI posts saying "You're absolutely right! You DO have psionic powers and your neighbor is gangstalking you!"
>>109007132>data driven business>ignores THAT databut thank god companies won't have to waste money on health insurance in the future
>>109007132never listen to a thing any business idiot tells you
>>109007132Thing is: the vast majority (80-90%) off office workers have zero or even negative productivity.Most office jobs are entirely useless and only exist to make managers feel important.
>>109007132It's over, AI just got buck-broken.
