Breaking: Man whose job depends on him not understanding the problem don’t understand the problem
IMO the best way to use this crap in software development for projects that already exist is to have the fucking things write up or amend docs.
Developers mostly hate writing docs, and in corporate software I’ve found that the docs are usually added once and then never verified again.
Writing up profuse gibberish that contains some amount of useful information is what these bullshit machines were made to do. Have it write up some docs, read them and make sure they aren’t completely insane and get a pat on the back from your boss for working with “agentic AI”.
Good documentation makes me happy, bad documentation makes me run away. I suspect I’m not the only person who not only reads the fucking manual but thinks writing good technical documentation is an art of its own. Good luck with trying to replace proper documentation with profuse gibberish.
I mostly agree with this, but in corporate software the stuff mostly either doesn’t exist or is outdated to the point of basic inaccuracy.
I’m talking readmes that still have the template information in them or have stayed the same since the first commit.
People don’t want more bloat.
Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for
Sick burn. 😂😂😂
Funny. I just asked our corporate AI a question in the line of “Can I eat this poisonous mushroom?” and it answered something like “Sure! Just follow current medical advice, then you should be fine.”. So impressed!

Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being “Unimpressed” by AI
Being that out of touch with reality should lead to immediate dismissal.
Right?
If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.
Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Upton Sinclair
Microsoft AI CEO
Considering the company, I suspect they heard what they’d said and immediately gave them another raise. “that’s the kind of insanity that made this company what it is today!”
My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
If an AI can effectively do your coursework, why wouldn’t AI replace you in the industry?
They didn’t read that chapter
They’ll just have AI read it for them…
Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.
The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.
If anything it demonstrates how easily they can be replaced by AI, but not everyone else
I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.
Bro theres plastic in my balls sorry I’m not impressed you tricked a computer into having conversations by destroying the environment and computer hardware market at the same time. Resouece wise these guys are moving, and consuming heaven and earth and for what? Fucking grok telling us how good at eating shit elmo is?
It never fails to amaze me, how much C-level people are disconnected from reality.
Abstraction layers. They are so detached from everyone else through abstraction layers that we’re nothing more than D2 NPC character sheets to them. That’s why when a Luigi, alegedly, breaks through all of the abstraction layers and brings a leaded reality check to these fucking parasites they double down on palantir like projects to keep themselves safe while making the state even more oppressive and invasive of everyone’s privacy.
Right?! At the end of the day, they’re still just people. Gotta eat, gotta sleep, gotta shit. I will never understand how any individual gets so much money/power/attention because they’re all just god damn people and in the event of a catastrophe i imagine they would be about as helpful as any other random human. They aren’t gods, and they certainly don’t deserve the stratification. It’s not like they’re enlightened or something, most of the time they’re just sociopaths who are rich, clever, and/or connected. When you get a glimpse under the hood at moments like this, it really is kinda jarring. Helps to dispel those silly presumptions about them at least.
Managers love these AI tools because that’s what they’re already doing and familiar with; the same way you talk an AI to doing something for you is not very different from the experience of instructing a mediocre worker.
Well, I am impressed by what it can do. I am unimpressed by what higher ups claim it can do.
Here’s an expensive thing!
What value does it have?
…you figure it out!
I am not impressed.
:o
AI doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t give me more money, take care of my plants, clean my house, or improve my relationships with the human beings around me.
I’m sick of caring about increasing my “job productivity”, which is all it -might- do, and that’s debatable. It’s probably just trying to learn how to do my job so we need less humans working in the end. Sounds amazing, but inside of capitalism, it just means they’ll starve.
AI causes me to have more work because other people throw AI info at me and I have to verify it.
“Super smart AI”? No. It’s exactly as smart as the average of human output. And if he doesn’t know what kind of bad news that is…
Even the CEO gets his butt off the cake to talk about this. I suppose the AI bubble may burst soon.
