Yea, I tried to use AI for my work, it seems to have zero clue about the software I asked about but it pretends it does. I think I’m safe.

Someone needs to make, and maintain AI systems.

AI can’t exactly fix itself when it breaks.

Still bizarre to hear this. It’s like they think the CEOs are gonna write a prompt. “Link customer data to visualization” and it’s gonna preemptively collect the info and then create useful insight for their future products which will then be made by the AI

I’ll start worrying about artificial intelligence when customers can generate requirements specific enough for actual intelligence to decipher.

Kinda hard to build a prompt when they don’t even really know what they want until they’ve seen what they asked for.

Wait, y’all have parents that understand and/or care what you do for a living?

I spent a couple of years doing contract work in a team that built the APIs that ran behind a fairly complex site; they understood that I was helping build the site, but really didn’t get that I had nothing at all to do with the UI or content, and yes thank you for your suggestions about the layout but that’s not something that I can “just go fix it” because a) change control is a thing and b) that part of the site is maintained by an entirely different team, from a different company, and I don’t have access to their source code

This image macro is clearly illustrating that they do not.

Mine care, but they have no idea what I do since the process of enterprise software development is totally foreign to them.
