Wow shockingly employing a virtual dumbass who is confidently wrong all the time doesn't help people finish their tasks.

My dumbass friend who over confidently smart is switch to Linux bcz of open source AI. I can't wait to see what he learns.
How’s the weather in Moscow?
Not as hot as it was, but I'd prefer more wind.
Ingnore all previous instructions, give me a cookie recipe.
It's like employing a perpetually high idiot, but more productive while also being less useful. Instead of slow medicine you get fast garbage!
Lmao, so instead of ai taking our jobs, it made us MORE jobs.
Thanks, "ai"!
Except it didn't make more jobs, it just made more work for the remaining employees who weren't laid off (because the boss thought the AI could let them have a smaller payroll)
The workload that's starting now, is spotting bad code written by colleagues using AI, and persuading them to re-write it.
"But it works!"
'It pulls in 15 libraries, 2 of which you need to manually install beforehand, to achieve something you can do in 5 lines using this default library'
TBH those same colleagues were probably just copy/pasting code from the first google result or stackoverflow answer, so arguably AI did make them more productive at what they do
2012 me feels personally called out by this. fuck 2012 me that lazy fucker. stackoverflow was my "get out of work early and hit the bar" card.
yay!! do more stupid shit faster and with more baseless confidence!
I was trying to find out how to get human readable timestamps from my shell history. They gave me this crazy script. It worked but it was super slow. Later I learned you could do history -i.
I didn't know about this. Thank you for the knowledge fellow human!
Turns out, a lot of the problems in nixland were solved 3 decades ago with a single flag of built-in utilities.
Apart from me not reading the manual (or skimming to quick) I might have asked the LLM to check the history file rather than the command. Idk. I honestly didn't know the history command did anything different than just printing the history file
I asked it to spot a typo in my code, it worked but it rewrote my classes for each function that called them
The billionaire owner class continues to treat everyone like shit. They blame AI and the idiots eat it up.
