Standard fart operating procedure
A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke’s on him, I’m the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
That’s such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
“You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!” Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won’t mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
The neat part is that we can’t even claim that they’re little mistakes or that there’s few of them.
we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI?
If we can’t expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don’t have to pay workers)?
I think there’s an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that’s only as long as they perform correctly.

Yeah, the ‘but’ is the entire problem. In my experience, LLM chatbots are like if you made a 12yo a junior admin and fed them speed. Very quick to give you a confident answer, but wrong more often than not. The worst part is a lot of what I’m doing is coding, and it gets basic commands and syntax wrong
Like there’s a big shortage of unemployed humans
Unless you plan on enslaving them, please refer to my previous comment RE: paying humans.
If it works, it’s thanks to us. If it doesn’t, it’s your fault.
Ah, the famous “Fox News” defense of claiming you’re an entertainment medium but you should totally trust it.
For entertainment in Excel…
There are some real sickos out there man
for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard
Reminds me of these Autopiloting cars LOL
They, do it all by themselves, fully and autonomously and are pushed so hard as well, but you may not rely on them, never take them for serious.
Yes, that’s why it’s in Office
.
Trillion dollar investments, dishing out private nuclear power plants, redistributing water allocation nationwide, using it in every level of every structure of society and it’s just for entertainment.
Anyone tell the politicians they bent over like hand worn muppets for a gag or do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?
they already know, the money acts as lube
do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?
You’re assuming they aren’t willingly participating in screwing over the constituents to line their pockets or g to give lucrative contracts to their friends
Someone finally listend to their lawyers
Proposed revision: Do not use Copilot for business purposes.
It’s almost like it’s only a data harvesting tool. Why tf should they implement it everywhere for free?
Surprise twist: I don’t and won’t rely on it for jack shit
Then how come my company just roll this shit out for work? Allstate just walk us through how us co pilot to type our emails. And to use it for note taking.
Because in the end, you, the person that is forced to use various AI chatbot/agent/model/whatever, will be held responsible for anything that happens after one of the 3000 decisions they imposed you to make with no way to check everything turns out to cause the slightest problem. When that happens, YOU were supposed to know that NOTHING the AI tells/says/do is to be expected correct, so it’s your responsibility if something’s gone wrong.
Already told them I refuse to let AI write my emails or make my notes. Fuck that noise.
Oh lord, I might get fired for doing this, but I smell a company-wide email about Copilot Monday morning.
