There’s what AI could’ve been (collaborative and awesome), and then there’s what the billionaire class is pushing today (exploitative shit that they hit everyone over the head with until they say they like it). But the folks frothing at the mouth over it are unwilling to listen to why so many people are against the AI we’ve had forced upon us today.
Yesterday, Copilot hallucinated four different functions when I asked it to refactor a ~20 line TS function, despite me handing it 2 helper files that contained everything available for it to use. If I can’t confidently ask it to do anything, it’s immediately useless to me. It’s like being stuck with an impulsive liar that you have to get the truth out of.
A guy I used to work with would, at least I would swear it, submit shit code just so I would comment about the right way to do it. No matter how many times I told him how to do something. Sometimes it was code that didn’t actually do anything. Working with co-pilot is a lot like working with that guy again.
Funny enough, here’s a description of AI I wrote yesterday that I think you’ll relate to:
AI is the lazy colleague that will never get fired because their dad is the CTO. You’re forced to pair with them on a daily basis. You try to hand them menial tasks that they still manage to get completely wrong, while dear ol’ dad is gassing them up in every all-hands meeting.
It’s fundamentally a make-shit-up device. It’s like pulling words out of a hat. You cannot get mad at the hat for giving you poetry when you asked for nonfiction.
Get mad at the company which bolted the hat to your keyboard and promised you it was psychic.

Dude I couldn’t even get copilot to generate a picture with the size I wanted despite specifying the exact pixels for height and width.

I think that’s exactly who they’re mad at
