They say AI isn’t profitable.

@stefano True - but... when I was a craftsman, some of my most lucrative jobs were fixing bad builders' errors, usually on a short time schedule; customers in that situation are usually less cost-sensitive & I'd have to work weekends, so my bill went up.
- but it stops being fun very quickly. You're rarely hired to do a good job; just to unfuck someone else's mistakes as much as time & budget allows. For me, at least, this did not make for satisfying work...
@jwcph I totally agree. But they usually learn the lesson and stop doing things in the bad way. The next time, they'll call a proper consultant or specialist.

@stefano It's a great way to open a working relationship - you saved their butt, after all
-
@stefano the good news is the AI slop market might create an AI slop fixer position
the bad news is that this might set innovation back a decade -
-
@stefano We have to admit, to think is something from the past.
-
@stefano
The absolute horseshit going on right now will keep me employed until 50 years after my death. -
@stefano hehehe
-
@stefano well, in this case you are profitable from AI 🥲
-
@stefano everybody hates potholes in the road.
except the guys selling tyres. -
-
@stefano brilliant
-
@stefano HAHAHAAA, this is very good.
I hope they paid a bag of money for you. ( and for that AI crap too) -
-
@stefano Let me state it more accurately. Ai is not profitable to the people who use, operate, or maintain it.
-
@stefano I foresee a future where people like you are always more needed
-
@stefano it's exceptionally profitable for the energy companies who are using this artificial demand to inflate prices. That's why they've subsidized shoehorning AI into everything
-
@stefano thank you for putting a big smile on my face with this priceless toot. It needs to be framed and hung at the Louvre
-
AI, it turns out, is the Cybertruck of computers.
Overhyped, oversold, overpriced, made billionaires out of liars, and fascists out of greedy billionaires, and it ... rusts.
This is why
think we're stupid. -
@uriel Seriously. It's getting more and more common. They need servers -> use AI to tell them how to configure them -> make a mess -> "aaahhh we need the cloud as servers don't work!"
-
@stefano Totally agree. These poor LLM's are definitely going to need therapy.
@NickBergenComputerQuest @stefano This thread was great but your post made my day. Have another wonderful day everyone. Knowing LLMs will need therapy and the support industry will grow.
