Hilarious and true.

last week some new up and coming coder was showing me their tons and tons of sites made with the help of chatGPT. They all look great on the front end. So I tried to use one. Error. Tried to use another. Error. Mentioned the errors and they brushed it off. I am 99% sure they do not have the coding experience to fix the errors. I politely disconnected from them at that point.

What's worse is when a noncoder asks me, a coder, to look over and fix their ai generated code. My response is "no, but if you set aside an hour I will teach you how HTML works so you can fix it yourself." Never has one of these kids asking ai to code things accepted which, to me, means they aren't worth my time. Don't let them use you like that. You aren't another tool they can combine with ai to generate things correctly without having to learn things themselves.

Bonus points if the attackers use ai to script their attacks, too. We can fully automate the SaaS cycle!

That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.

Seems like a fitting end to the internet, imo. Or the recipe for the Singularity.

Not only internet. Soon everybody will use AI for everything. Lawyers will use AI in court on both sides. AI will fight against AI.

I was at a coffee shop the other day and 2 lawyers were discussing how they were doing stuff with ai that they didn't know anything about and then just send to their clients.

That shit scared the hell out of me.

And everything will just keep getting worse with more and more common folk eating the hype and brainwash using these highly incorrect tools in all levels of our society everyday to make decisions about things they have no idea about.

I'm aware of an effort to get LLM AI to summarize medical reports for doctors.

Very disturbing.

The people driving it where I work tend to be the people who know the least about how computers work.

AI is yet another technology that enables morons to think they can cut out the middleman of programming staff, only to very quickly realise that we're more than just monkeys with typewriters.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah! I have two typewriters!

I was going to post a note about typewriters, allegedly from Tom Hanks, which I saw years and years ago; but I can't find it.

Turns out there's a lot of Tom Hanks typewriter content out there.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

He donated his to my hs randomly, it was supposed to goto the valedictorian but the school kept it lmao, it was so funny because they showed everyone a video where he says not to keep the typewriter and its for a student

To be fair.. If this guy would have hired a dev team, the same thing could happen.

The fact that “AI” hallucinates so extensively and gratuitously just means that the only way it can benefit software development is as a gaggle of coked-up juniors making a senior incapable of working on their own stuff because they’re constantly in janitorial mode.

Ha, you fools still pay for doors and locks? My house is now 100% done with fake locks and doors, they are so much lighter and easier to install.

Wait! why am I always getting robbed lately, it can not be my fake locks and doors! It has to be weirdos online following what I do.
