    That’s why they don’t see any problem with replacing workers with AI. They think AI will do X better than humans do just like machines could build X better than humans could at the beginning of the industrial revolution.

    But the cost benefit analysis often proves to be quite the opposite in the long-term, despite deceptive short-term gains. But a short-term gains seem to be all that businesses seem to care about.

        You can just tell AI to provide feedback and not be a kiss ass… Hell most of the good models well"good" models do provide feedback by default. The whole AI is a kiss ass thing is almost entirely a byproduct of free cheap low-end models or outdated ones.

        So this particular criticism hasn’t really been valid for a hot second anymore. Honestly, 99% of everything everyone thinks AI is in this entire thread is either flat out wrong at this point as things have already changed. Or they’re conflating the business problems with the actual tool.

        Mean hell Claude will straight up. Tell you you’re dumb. You’ll do so professionally and in corpo speak and it’s awful. But it will tell you you’re dumb.

        It will also totally throw shade at you while taking the blame for your f****** which is pretty funny.

        Mean to be fair, most people who hate AI aren’t going to go spend a bunch of money to actually learn what good models do and how good models actually operate. They’re just going to look at the s*** on their phone that’s free. That sucks and go it all sucks.

        Mean to be fair. Those models do suck. The company’s running them suck. Those companies did a bunch of illegal s*** and are ruining the environment and that sucks.

        There’s a lot to hate about AI.

        But the actual tool in and of itself isn’t actually that bad and it doesn’t need to be bad. The open models trained on data that’s actually freely given in license appropriately while not as good as those big giant multi-trillion dollar ones.

        Aren’t ruining the environment, aren’t displacing people out of a job, aren’t full of stolen information, and can still genuinely be useful for small tasks.

        A tool is a tool and it’s only as bad or good as we make it.

          AI sucks bcz it hallucinates (a fundamental flaw of all LLMs), increase electricity costs, water usage, and their overall environmental footprint. Pick your favorite bcz there’s a lot of reasons to hate AI other than, the “free models aren’t good”.

        on a slight tangent: that’s why I tend to prefer Claude (when I have to use AI), because it does actually provide push-back and doesn’t get all kiss-ass with me like ChatGPT

      It’s how our finance systems evolved to be, no one got time to wait for long term gains anymore. It’s all about playing the hot potato.
