AI in the Workplace

[Bkk Andy]

I know this thread is a discussion of AI in the Workplace but it's not just the workplace, it's everywhere and it will become everything.

Take your mind away from your desktop, look at the world, look at your family, friends and everything that's still beautiful in this world.

AI will eventually be the end to all of that beauty, maybe not in our lifetime.
But AI in Workplace will be AI in everyday life..

Not a pretty sight..

Whatever the outcome, we'll all adapt like we did to the internet and smartphones. And I doubt that AI will be anywhere near as disruptive as smartphones. No one has looked up from one in a decade...

Exactly, so where do you think this is heading. Short term gain for long term pain.

Just remember m8, greed plays a massive part in everyday society. Every new movement in AI involvement, will than have to bettered by someone else.
Once that wheel starts spinning it doesn't end.

Save yourself from the basement before it gets to late.

Every generation has a different "pain" and they all adapt to it, good and bad. Whilst I don't disagree about greed, the wheel is already spinning and it's spinning fast. If don't work for my paymasters, somebody else will. Perhaps I'm greedy too, but I want to earn as much as I can for myself and my family and that means using all of the tools available at my disposal.

I get what your saying in regards to work and being able to provide more for your family, but I look at it not from the work side, but from the social/human aspect.

Society will eventually bare the brunt of it, society offline wont exist.

What is work, what is money, when you're losing the things that keep the world turning.

( Im not trying to talk like some kind of clever person on the subject, you know alot more about this than me.

I can just see where this is heading

It was rolled out nearly 18 months ago at my work, initially on a trial basis and wasn’t heavily pushed by the company. I was a late adopter (probably several months into its rollout) as I have been a bit cynical about its utility before I began using it but I am a big fan of it as a tool to save time - mostly for organization (especially in clinical reports that can be hundreds of pages long), summarizing & comparing/contrasting key research papers on specific indices + PP presentation support. I agree you have to fact check as it does not always make the correct interpretation - as my brother who works in AI for Meta reminded me AI requires data to be used effectively and its only as good as the quality of data it is fed

I have yet to see it prove to be a replacement for any colleague but I can clearly see the amount of time it has saved me in the past 12 months alone - its an inevitability that it will be used more & more. But fact check as always

….i was an IT Project Manager. Bringing new IT systems into a Government department whilst decommissioning the old was intense enough, I’m glad I also didn’t have to deal with AI in the scope of my job.

Weirdest thread I’ve ever read in my life. The outrage and anger toward technology by some blues here is astounding.

You're on an Everton forum and are surprised that a tool that promises to widen inequality significantly is looked at with skepticism. You've been here long enough to understand that Bryan.

I am fairly ambivalent about AI in its current state. Quite often the outputs are skew wiff and it's only really to be trusted with some very basic stuff.

I also question if the resources used (power, water) are proportionate to the time Johnny in accounts saved drafting and email. In a world of scarce resources should we be blowing them on such trivial things?

The more complex things, such as deployment to enhancime breast cancer screening or analysis of large scale comllex datasets (for example) should be focused on imho.

Thats the bit that surprises Mr Wayne, this place never ceases to surprise me!

if you're concerned about it then shame people for it

then if not directly to them do it in conversation and meetings

My wife is an ICT teacher, of which a huge amount is coursework for gcse and A level. For the past couple of years about half of the pupils are resorting to AI to do their work for them. They’re not learning anything for themselves.

I work in media and marketing, and a lot of companies that have replaced real people with AI have suffered with quality. They'll make a bit more money in the short term, but long term, they'll be begging for people to return.

In certain offices, Reach have AI writing copy that takes longer to edit than it would for a person to actually write.

Online bot farms are thriving by ripping off content, but they're at the mercy of Google. Once they have an AI that they can control (because their current ones are AWFUL), then they'll cannibalize all the AI output with their own stuff.

As for people using ChatGPT/Grok for everyday use, LOL. The base packages are pointless. You have to pay for a mid-range package for it to start making any sense. It's causing a lot of brain drain and actively making people thicker.

Haha if these threads surprise you bud, Just wait til you read a chatGPT thread.

Every response will be the same, it will be like answering yourself 100 times..
