IMO the best way to use this crap in software development for projects that already exist is to have the fucking things write up or amend docs.
Developers mostly hate writing docs, and in corporate software I’ve found that the docs are usually added once and then never verified again.
Writing up profuse gibberish that contains some amount of useful information is what these bullshit machines were made to do. Have it write up some docs, read them and make sure they aren’t completely insane and get a pat on the back from your boss for working with “agentic AI”.
Good documentation makes me happy, bad documentation makes me run away. I suspect I’m not the only person who not only reads the fucking manual but thinks writing good technical documentation is an art of its own. Good luck with trying to replace proper documentation with profuse gibberish.
I mostly agree with this, but in corporate software the stuff mostly either doesn’t exist or is outdated to the point of basic inaccuracy.
I’m talking readmes that still have the template information in them or have stayed the same since the first commit.
Breaking: Man whose job depends on him not understanding the problem don’t understand the problem
These AI techbros only surround themselves with Yes men, so that’s why they sound so clueless…
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
If anything it demonstrates how easily they can be replaced by AI, but not everyone else
It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
Abstraction layers. They are so detached from everyone else through abstraction layers that we’re nothing more than D2 NPC character sheets to them. That’s why when a Luigi, alegedly, breaks through all of the abstraction layers and brings a leaded reality check to these fucking parasites they double down on palantir like projects to keep themselves safe while making the state even more oppressive and invasive of everyone’s privacy.
Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for
Bro theres plastic in my balls sorry I’m not impressed you tricked a computer into having conversations by destroying the environment and computer hardware market at the same time. Resouece wise these guys are moving, and consuming heaven and earth and for what? Fucking grok telling us how good at eating shit elmo is?
People don’t want more bloat.
Funny. I just asked our corporate AI a question in the line of “Can I eat this poisonous mushroom?” and it answered something like “Sure! Just follow current medical advice, then you should be fine.”. So impressed!
Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being “Unimpressed” by AI
Being that out of touch with reality should lead to immediate dismissal.
Sounds like a steve jobs reality distortion field.
Right?
If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.
Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Upton Sinclair
Well, I am impressed by what it can do. I am unimpressed by what higher ups claim it can do.
Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don’t want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I’d rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
You needed an AI to create a few dozen JSON files for you or else it would have taken you days?
Maybe the luddites have a point after all.
Yeah, I’m not going to respond to the replies. I thought I made it clear; I already know that Lemmy has a collective ragegasm whenever someone says something positive about AI. You don’t need to tell me how much you hate it, I know. I just don’t care.
You don’t care so much you cared enough to comment on how much you don’t care. But, someone who truly didn’t care wouldn’t have left the second reply to begin with.
slow clap
FYI, I’m not here to win a high school popularity contest. I’m perfectly capable of admitting that I am a flawed human being (as already acknowledge in my ‘second reply’).
I’m happy for you to be the big boy/girl here. Here’s a cookie: 🍪.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
You don’t need AI to do this, just a few dozen lines of Python…
Ugh, make a liar of me will you? I should have read the replies before stating I wouldn’t be responding. But I hate blatant misinformation.
I could create a quadrillion JSON files using Python if I was aiming for quantity alone. For context, I was creating character profiles for video game characters that were derived from the public wikis. Good luck creating a Python code to read through an NPC’s wiki entry (and related entries) and then generating their personality, background, significant events, and relationships into a logical JSON file with ‘a few dozen lines of Python’.
My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
If an AI can effectively do your coursework, why wouldn’t AI replace you in the industry?
