My company is like this. They literally have a feature in the roadmap called AI, and say we have to do something with it because our competitors do.

I love the detail that she put "+ AI" on both sides of the equation so that it's still technically correct regardless of what the AI stands for.

Sometimes it helps solve an equation by adding zero.

I’m old enough to have gone through a number of these technology bubbles, so much so that I haven’t paid much attention to them for a fair while. This AI bs feels a bit different, though. It seems to me that lots more people have completely lost their minds this time.

Like all bubbles, this too will end up in the same rubbish heap.

That's because there's a non zero amount of actually functionality. Chatgpt does some useful stuff for normal people. It's accessible.

Contrast that to crypto, which was only accessible to tech folks and barely useful, or NFT which had no use at all.

Ok, I guess to be fair, the purpose of NFT was to separate chumps from their money, and it was quite good at that.

My company, while cutting back elsewhere, has dedicated a few million to AI projects over the next couple years. Not "projects to solve X business problem." Just projects that use AI.

So of course now, anything that is automated in any way is now being touted as AI. Taking data from one system and populating another? That's AI.

multi-track drifting! also if you can understand another person, isn't that the whole point of communication?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's frustrating to translate from what they said to what they mean. It's more effort on my part and this is my free time, I don't want to work.

Just communicate as clearly as you can.

This seems like such a strange take. You make it sound like it's cost you effort to translate the error, but how are you quantifying that effort? If effort efficiency is something you're striving for, it doesn't feel like it makes sense to correct the mistake (which costs effort to do)

The gap between the two - what they said and what they meant - seems so small it probably took more "work" to correct them.

I'd go as far as to say that the work to correct them will never be repaid by the saved effort of not having to encounter this particular mistakes from this particular person ever again.

It's more effort than a straight read.

I didn't correct anyone, by the way. I'm just a different person griping about how much it sucks to have to communicate with people who don't care about being understood.

And you're right, correcting people is even more work! So on top of the work of translating their stupid post we now have to tell them they were wrong so they don't do this to us again. If they aren't ever corrected they'll just keep being wrong and we'll have to keep translating their posts.

The alternative is to block them so we never see their posts ever again, which honestly is a better idea. It not like we're missing out.
