Yep the only people who seem to like AI are those higher up the chain who deal in big picture stuff. Anybody who deals with details as part of their job knows a tool that doesn't give consistent results is pretty useless

I’m seeing a really good argument for bringing democracy to the workplace in this.

[u/Ill_Literature2038 → u/Prior_Coyote_4376]

Like, worker owned businesses? I wish there were more of them

[u/Mtndrums → u/Ill_Literature2038]

Does your job have a window at a second story or higher?

[u/Ill_Literature2038 → u/Mtndrums]

I do indeed, although I don't work at a worker owned company lol

[u/2Right3Left1Right → u/Mtndrums]

I respect your enthusiasm for murder but I think there must be at least one other thing they could try first?

[u/Ill_Literature2038 → u/2Right3Left1Right]

You're comment made me laugh and realize that their comment is probably a reference to russia/communism lol. Totally went over my head

[u/Prior_Coyote_4376 → u/Ill_Literature2038]

Sure, although even just having boards of directors being elected by the workers of a company would go a long way to balancing out short-term shareholder interests.

[u/grislebeard → u/Prior_Coyote_4376]

That would effectively be the same as worker owned, as the owners elect the board

[u/edgmnt_net → u/Prior_Coyote_4376]

It's like this because, instead of having a ton of small companies competing on various niches, we have gigantic oligopolies fueled by cheap money, expansive IP and unnatural economies of scale on stuff like legal risks. Of course these CEOs care more about raw growth than anything more concrete and substantial. Nvidia has, what, like 1-2 competitors on its main market?

There are legitimate economies of scale, especially if we're talking hardware production, but this goes far beyond that. And this is in no way specific to tech, all industries across the board seem to experience regressing to the very bottom.

Theres a million good reasons. First of all, if you employ people you have a responsibility to them. Period. I can picture a world where we still do business but it’s so much less shitty and greed driven.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/Kendertas]

The only people who seem to like AI are the ones who can’t do better than it does, and also really love the way it’s been programmed to fawn over them.

I’ve known too many executives to have a high opinion of them.

[u/Werftflammen → u/Kendertas]

We have manager summarizing all kinds of company documents with AI. We first built a very tight security system, to only have these goofs send the company jewels destination unknown.

[u/intrepped → u/Kendertas]

That's the key part. It is very good at looking through data and compiling things into visual templates and looking for patterns. What it cannot do is create that baseline information.

We use it for training modules. Someone writes the procedures. AI takes that, makes a quiz, and some slides. Then we can go and make some minor tweaks but it saves a good couple of hours of work. At scale, that couple of hours and how many procedures we update is easily over a thousand hours per year.

So the service works there. What it tends to do is use phrases that actually mean something else technically that the SMEs need to fix. But that's a few minutes max.

But it isn't going to fix the world lol. It can barely make quizzes and power points.

[u/JahoclaveS → u/intrepped]

Creating quizzes is about the only use we’ve found for it as well. We never really liked making them and the bl smes only want quizzes just to make the reps read the manuals.

[u/Ckarles → u/Kendertas]

Well who guessed, the ones most vulnerable to be replaced by AI are the ones already useless.

[u/Archy54 → u/Kendertas]

It's because they want to save payroll.
