A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke’s on him, I’m the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.
That’s such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that
“You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!” Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won’t mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.
The neat part is that we can’t even claim that they’re little mistakes or that there’s few of them.
“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”
we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI?
If we can’t expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don’t have to pay workers)?
Like there’s a big shortage of unemployed humans
Unless you plan on enslaving them, please refer to my previous comment RE: paying humans.
I think there’s an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that’s only as long as they perform correctly.

Yeah, the ‘but’ is the entire problem. In my experience, LLM chatbots are like if you made a 12yo a junior admin and fed them speed. Very quick to give you a confident answer, but wrong more often than not. The worst part is a lot of what I’m doing is coding, and it gets basic commands and syntax wrong
In other words: Snake oil salesman back paddles after the ice he‘s standing on got very thin.
I think you were trying to say “backpedals.”
Well, that’s if they were on a bicycle, but they’re standing on a paddle board over the ice. Why would they stand on a bicycle? that doesn’t make sense. Neither does a paddle board on ice, but I already lost track of what the metaphor was about.
for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard
Reminds me of these Autopiloting cars LOL
They, do it all by themselves, fully and autonomously and are pushed so hard as well, but you may not rely on them, never take them for serious.
and didn’t tusla recently discontinue the whole thing
Just like Fox news
What regulatory capture of the FTC does to MFer.
All this shit should be considered false advertising, at the very least.
That was my first thought, they’re using the Fox News legal defense
Deploy everywhere, trust nowhere. Bold strategy.
Standard fart operating procedure
Are you not entertained?!
It’s almost like it’s only a data harvesting tool. Why tf should they implement it everywhere for free?
Proposed revision: Do not use Copilot for business purposes.
But also don’t look at our advertisements.
If joke, why required shaped?
Then why are they promoting it, in a pizza ad, as letting CoPilot handle the spreadsheets. Do they not trust their own product!?
They want your money, not your lawsuits.
its same mentality as drug supplier avoiding to get high on his own suppily.
My favorite part of that ad was that it was just “magic.”
He plugged in existing numbers and it generated some charts and there’s a line out the door!
Did AI renegotiate supplier agreements? Did it find a way to advertise in a new way? Ha, ha! Who’s to say, just use it why don’t cha??
Trillion dollar investments, dishing out private nuclear power plants, redistributing water allocation nationwide, using it in every level of every structure of society and it’s just for entertainment.
Anyone tell the politicians they bent over like hand worn muppets for a gag or do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?
they already know, the money acts as lube
do you think they already know and simply enjoy being treated for the fools that they are?
You’re assuming they aren’t willingly participating in screwing over the constituents to line their pockets or g to give lucrative contracts to their friends
If it works, it’s thanks to us. If it doesn’t, it’s your fault.
Yes, that’s why it’s in Office
For entertainment in Excel…
There are some real sickos out there man
Oh lord, I might get fired for doing this, but I smell a company-wide email about Copilot Monday morning.
