“Top-down mandates to use large language models are crazy,” one employee told Wired. “If the tool were good, we’d all just use it.”

Yep.

Management is often out of touch and full of shit

You wanna know who really bags on LLMs? Actual AI developers. I work with some, and you've never heard someone shit all over this garbage like someone who works with neural networks for a living.

There's this great rage blog post from 1.5 years ago by a data scientist

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again

Missed this one, thanks

Oh, the guy from Hermit Tech! He's great, and his blog is hilarious and poignant in turns (though sometimes both at the same time).

Management: "No, that doesn't work, because employees spend so much time doing the actual work that they lack the vision to know what's good for them. Luckily for them I am not distracted by actual work so I have the vision to save them by making them use AI."

Something an idiot would say. Jack Dorsey is precisely this type of idiot. He's not the only idiot, though

Eggs-mothafucking-zackly!!!

There are no daily pressure campaigns to convince you to use a laptop or a smartphone. The value of those are self-evident.

AI on the other hand... -_-
