Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained
gustofwind@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoKinda but also not entirely. I know a lot of people who use ChatGPT and other AIs at work and it does basically exactly what they want and just gets better
I’m not a proponent but the naysayer doomers are almost as wrong as the tech evangelists
Is it overvalued? Sure
Is it worthless? Absolutely not

That’s cool. I have yet to find a use case for AI. Am I doing it wrong or are they just bad with computers?

I am with gustofwind here. I use AI to help me quickly draft up mindless policies, then read through it and edit it where needed. It is a lot faster than any typing I can do.
I also use it to help me find configs for stuff I deploy, but I make sure it attaches the source link for me, so I can read the original source docs and keep a sane approach to what I am doing.
Again, I also think it is way overvalued, but to say it has not helped me build successful stuff over the past 2 years would be a lie. My 2c

I think my and many others’ problem with your use case is the mindless policy part, not the genAI part.
We need more mindless policies in this world like we need measles and more holes in our heads.

Yes, why do you care about the pointless corporate crap you produce . Ai slop is the desired result you are just letting your pride get in the way.

Products and services have been dropping in quality well before ai slop
You overestimate the quality of acceptable work in many industries. AI and a little human editing and oversight is perfectly capable of producing legitimate work product.
The real problem is capitalism driving everything to shit and that really has nothing to do with ai influenced workflows

I went from Windows laptop and Netflix and Hulu to a Linux desktop for a home server running Immich, Mealie, Jellyfin, and the Arr suite in docker containers. All proxied on Cloudflare for remote access. I would never have been able to do that without the use of ChatGPT. I had no knowledge of software development, Linux, networking, etc at all. If you know how to query, AI can be a huge aid in learning. It’s helping me brush up on my Italian right now too since I haven’t spoken it in 5 years.
