Comment on Why We Need An Anti-AI Movement Too
themurphy@lemmy.world 10 months agoIt’s fine you don’t believe in AI as a tool.
But it’s literally saving me 1-2 hours each week on my real world job, and I didn’t even try to use its potential. My guess is I can automate 5 hours if I made an effort.
I enjoy my new 2 hours of free time each week every week this year. Try not to hate the AI, because I think everyone could use that time too.

Cool, 1-2 hours a WEEK. So that’s 2.5 - 5% of your time, and this is supposed to impress anybody at all? Oh, and the company selling the AI nonsense to your company is making more from the licensing than your hours would cost your employer. So honestly, who’s making out best in this scenario?
My guess is the instant you attempt to automate “5 hours” of your work, or about 12.5% of your time, you’re going to spend 2 hours verifying the things it guessed and fixing them.
You know what I do instead? Enjoy those 2 hours regardless. What kind of dystopian hell do you live in where you’re struggling to find 2 hours in an 8 hour workday? Good god.

Bruh…… on an average 8 hour workday I log 10-12 billable hours in tickets, or projects, or whatever I happen to be working on. That’s from overlap/multitasking as I’m constantly interrupted in my talks to help others with theirs. I’m lucky to get 2 minutes to catch my breath

Sounds like you should manage your time better, or hire employees. Having a word guesser respond to customers saving you single digit percentage points of time isn’t really making the difference that you think it is.

They 100% need to hire 2 more guys and pick what role they actually want me to do.
