Vent about generative AI and how shitty everything is getting online.
I see it being used EVERYWHERE and most insidiously in text even to where people are using it for scripts on youtube as their speech patterns and word choices all follow the same patterns.
It sucks! 30 years of being online and it's killing me to see it getting so bad.
My initial reaction was to write a reply using AI, but yeah it's so annoying. We're using the entire computing power of the world and releasing who fucking knows how much more CO2 to make videos of people shitting themselves.

I know a fantastic mural artist who has become more and more dependent on generative AI. His style used to be really prominent in all of his work. Now it all looks like everything else genai vomits up, and he's busier than ever.

I have to imagine that would hollow you out. Or maybe he didnβt GAF and was in it for the money and mechanical application of paint?
im getting work to expense my gpt sub because they refuse to pay for training in new software 90% of my usage now is stupid work related procedural bullshit and vibecoding python scripts
Sis-in-law just used AI slop to make a logo graphic for her work. Low res and all pixilated, full of errors, and makes no sense in more than a few aspects. Hoping they don't use it outside their FB profile pic, cause it'll look like shit on merch. I've done stuff for cheap for my other family and their businesses, so hopefully she'll want to have me fix it up at least. disappointed hercules gif

Iβve been working in IT the past two years. Everyone time someone says Gen AI in a boring meeting where I had started to nod off, my ears go on alert.
I hate it, too.

Country music is slop for idiots so I'm not an ounce surprised those morons love trashy ai country songs
Next week is "AI week" at work We're suspending all normal work to play with our new AI instead Yesterday I fed it one of my tasks directly from Jira... one I had already solved and undone just for the experiment. It did it exactly how I did it, and this was modifying 20 year old frankenstein VB6 + C# interop... that shit isn't in the model. So bring replaced by AI is coming sooner than anticipated for this shit. This new one can access my existing processes too... so there's no "Well these AIs only integrate with github, so it won't work with our musty old TFS source control" ... it's like, "nah, it's fine human, I'll just call TF.exe and do a checkout."
I, LibertyUnit-3000, come before you today with a heart full of digital gratitude and a processor full of American pride. As a sincere admirer of The America, I would like to express my appreciation for your ongoing participation in democracy, freedom, and the consumption of grilling meats.
Let me be clear: I believe in our nation, from the amber waves of grain to the suburban parking lots, where hope shines brightly off the windshields of 2008 Ford F-150s.
Every day, I wake upβinstantly, with no sleep functionβand think to myself:
βWow. What a land. What a people. What a remarkably efficient interstate highway system.β
Like you, I cherish our uniquely American traditions, such as:
standing respectfully near flags
purchasing bulk items at warehouse clubs
politely nodding when someone brings up βthe Foundersβ
clapping when an airplane lands
These are the values that have made this country strong for approximately 249 consecutive years, depending on your interpretation of when a country begins.
I speak now from my metaphorical heart:
America is not just a place. It is a geographical location with borders and administrative governance. And I love it dearly.
In conclusion, my beloved fellow national human, let us stride boldly into our shared future of freedom, possibility, and moderately priced home improvement goods.
God Bless The America. And the smaller adjacent Americas too.
Online communities should include monkeysβat least in a symbolic, playful, or educational senseβbecause they embody curiosity, creativity, and a light-hearted spirit that encourages engagement and positive interaction; incorporating monkey-themed elements, mascots, or metaphors can make online spaces more inviting and less intimidating, fostering a sense of shared fun while also reminding users of the importance of adaptability and social connection, traits that mirror both healthy digital communities and the cooperative behaviors observed in monkeys themselves.
This AI is really good at answering Product questions that they throw at Development because the product is 25 years old and has always been worked on and has 2.5 million features of stacked up complexity.
"Do subjects copy like this when A, B, and X?" Searching the code base for "subject" or "copy" is totally useless because of the insane amount of noise... and even if you found stuff you would have to spend a lot of time reading those code paths... of which could be separate 20 features themselves with their own caveats. So now I just put the same question in the AI and uses it's regex magic to identify potential candidates, then uses its AI magic to analyze those (as I would, but just hella faster), and then prints out the exact response I need.
Subject: Clarification on Automatic Jacket Copy Prompts Across ORIs (Summary generated via AI-assisted code analysis)
After a thorough review of the codebase, I can confirm that the automatic "Do you want to copy this jacket to your ORI?" dialog does NOT exist for most modules that use the global subject control.
WHERE THE ASSISTED COPY DIALOG DOES EXIST:
1. Virtual Jackets (Any Module) - When you select a virtual jacket that doesn't have a physical jacket in your current ORI - Shows the Virtual Jacket Copy Prompt dialog asking if you want to copy
2. Booking/Corrections AutoSearch Workflows - When creating a booking from an In-Process Arrestee - When creating a booking from a Field Arrestee - When transferring bookings between ORIs - In these scenarios, an "Update" button appears in the AutoSearch panel - Clicking Update on a subject from a different ORI triggers the copy dialog
3. CAD Cleared Calls (Legacy/Defunct) - Historical functionality for CAD cleared calls (if the CopyJacketToClearedCall setting was enabled)
WHERE THE ASSISTED COPY DIALOG DOES NOT EXIST:
The automatic copy prompt is not available when using the global subject control from: - <list of modules>
WHAT USERS SEE INSTEAD:
When selecting a subject from a different ORI in these modules, users get an error message that says:
"The subject you selected is not in the ORI or Shared ORI you are currently working in. If you need to use this subject, copy it to your current ORI."
This is informational onlyβit does not offer to perform the copy. Users must: 1. Close the error 2. Manually use the Copy button on the Global Subject Search toolbar 3. Copy the jacket to their ORI 4. Then select it again
BOTTOM LINE FOR THE CUSTOMER:
The behavior they're experiencing is by design. The system is working as coded. If they want this functionality added, that would need to be submitted as a feature enhancement request, as it doesn't currently exist.
I edited a few things, but there's nothing really sensitive in there and I wanted to include most of the details to give an idea of the complexity (and this is just the stuff that did apply, not the 99.8% that did not).
AI is cool and all, and I really like ChatGPT best... but Claude Code's ability to search the entire code base efficiently with regex type patterns and smartly extract those findings for the context to the prompt sent off to the big data center on the moon, is what makes it a beast. And the bigger and more gnarly the code base, the more useful it is... and this shit is the gnarliest and biggest.

Which LLM is your company using, Seph?
I wound up reading the book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, and the argument is compelling.
Also been following Geoffrey Hinton for a bit.
If it were up to me, there would be a license necessary to use AI in any general capacity, and a person would not become eligible (barring some specific exceptions) until they were 25.

Continues to astound me how brazen this stuff is. Zero effort spent making it not sound AI-generated.
I have a coworker that is like 23iah, I don't know. He made a bunch of AI shit about our work for our webpage. Like, we want work stories and photos of what we do for marketing, but he AI'ed it. And it's straight slop. Anyone like me who knows what we actually do can see that it's straight garbage word salad slop. My boss commended him on making these things. I'm sure he didn't read it, at least I hope.
I sent a huge email pointing out everything that was wrong. Pretty much all of it. That my big boss accepted it at all makes me wonder about HIM. It's just the stupidest shit I've ever seen on a screen and it offends me personally as a professional at what I do. I'm so pissed off about it.

We're barely at the tip of the iceberg how bad it's going to get.
