My work thinks theyre being forward thinking by shoving ai into everything. Not that we are forced to use it but we are encouraged to. Outside of using it to convert a screenshot to text (not even ai…thats just ocr) I haven’t had much use for it since it’s wrong a lot. Its pretty useless for the type of one off work I do as well. We are supposed to share any “wins” we’ve had but I’d sooner they stop paying a huge subscription to Sammy A.
My company has adopted llms in a big way and has set per-employee “time savings” goals.
Sorry, I threw up a little at that
I can’t wait until it all fails miserably honestly. But maybe it wont, we will see.
That’s not just a red flag, it’s a bunch. And they’re being waved by a marching band. I’d start looking for new work if I were you, because your company’s leadership is dangerously incompetent.
AI is a “time saver” in only very narrow circumstances and only in the hands of certain people who are already at the top of their fields. You need to be able to immediately recognize when it’s wrong, because if you don’t, it costs time and, worse, introdruces major flaws into work.
