Except it’s not useless – it’s just not as useful as claimed by people trying to sell it.

Nobody in tech thinks it’s useless.

That’s just wishful thinking. Tech is increasingly adopting it.

Ai is not useful without people

Hire entry-level workers earning less than previous employees, put them to work on a big project, finish it and layoff all of them as soon as they start earning too much. Hire new entry-level workers, pay less for them in comparison, and rinse and repeat.

AI is useful offering solutions, but it was never going to full on replace the work of an actual person.

I never know how it’s going with AI, you’ve got hordes of people on the internet saying it’s either about to take everyone’s job or that the companies developing it are about to fail, and both sides have been saying that for what seems like years.
Which is it?

It’s not useless per se, but it’s useless to replace people. It’s gonna have to get a whole lot more advanced to be able to do that.

“IBM announced it will triple its U.S. entry-level hiring in 2026, specifically targeting AI-fluent Gen Z talent to fill reimagined roles. While AI handles routine coding, these new positions focus on customer interaction and AI oversight.”
They’re Ai jobs.

They don’t find it useless, just they overselled the shit out of it for what it is (which is not)

It’s not useless. It’s an unbelievable fast tool for science and work if you use it right and not try to make every fucking job with AI. I often use it to make a start or sort data.

Im convinced the push for AI is from union buster millionaires and 50+ year old people who thought we would have Jetsons-esque flying cars and automatic robotics

They’re cheaper than AI tokens

I mean it’s about as useless as a hammer when you’re trying to cut an apple, it’s a tool but we just gotta figure out that each has its own applications and not everything is solved by lazily slapping AI on it

If you are posting a meme like this I seriously question if you are currently employed.

AI that seems to be shoe horned into programs unnecessarily seems to be the problem these days. I had a program (I forget if it was Ms or adobe). Offer me a summary of a document I was reading. I clicked out of curiosity, after 10-15mins I was informed that the document was an equipment manual. If I had done the same with an apprentice and asked him to read the manual & he came back to me stating that he understood that it was an equipment manual and nothing more I would be looking for a new apprentice.
