A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

This.

We have a brilliant data scientist in our team who spent the last 6 months creating and improving a ML model that's now very accurate and efficient.

Of course, our company went all in on GenAI and hired a full team in a few months. Those scammers are still trying to find a way to ~~make themselves useful~~ justify their inflated salaries, so of course, being so high on their own farts, they decided they had a genius idea that nobody had before and spent a few weeks trying to vibe-code a similar model without even asking around if it has already been done. And when presented with the facts, they doubled down on "yeah but if we can access EVERYTHING, we can make the model explainable!!1!". Ah yes, the part that's already been developed and tested and going in production like, right now.

What's depressing is that AI IS EVERYTHING so they basically became the most powerful entity in the company almost instantly, and we can't do anything to prevent them wreaking havoc in all the teams roadmaps at once constantly with impossible and extremely urgent demands because they answer directly to the CFO.
