this is what my company owners don’t seem to understand.
productive employees don’t enjoy that. if that becomes our job, will either do it poorly or leave, and then you’ll just have shitty people doing it, with shitty results.
they’ve backed off a little bit, but they’re still trying to push AI tools to do parts of our job that we are still 100% responsible for the outcome of. fuck that.
actually now that I’m thinking about it, fuck, it fucking pisses me off. like I told them that an application with major value (which also would be one of the easiest things to implement) is just a chatbot that reads the customer spec and you can ask questions, so instead of sorting through hundreds of pages across multiple different files and file types, the chatbot can find anything relevant and then you can look closer at it. do we have that tool? no. are they trying to push other tools on us that are half complete, can’t possibly do a good job, and only have marginal time savings? yes. like yeah sure let’s fucking let AI do an engineering drawing of a part, I’m sure it’ll make it a very nice easy to read drawing that the machine shop will love, and all the senior people who are already reviewing everybody else’s work will love to review constant junior level quality work. that’s probably their favorite part of the job, reviewing shit quality work. and they love it even more when they know that the feedback they give won’t result in somebody getting better at it, they’ll just see it again tomorrow.
And all that time goes to babysitting a text machine… What a life they’re living
