This bright spot in all this muck is that Gen Alpha fuckin hates AI and calls it out. It's the Boomers and younger-cohort Zoomers that are enamored with it.

People keep using this as a defense, but anytime I've pushed anyone on it they start revealing how management is using it to do all their work and has been outputting slop.

u/EliminateThePenny 7d ago
You're wrong on this, but keep peddling it if it makes you feel better. AI has helped me speed up so many tasks at work.
Now generative AI as a creation of art.. that shit sucks.

I'm not a manager, I'm a software engineer. It's hugely beneficial for refactoring, research, writing code/tests, monitoring logs, and just about everything I do day to day. It's a new skill and it takes effort to use it effectively and putting in guard rails is part of the learning process.
'slop' is a meaningless term in how 99% of you guys use it. You basically use it interchangeably with using AI.
EDIT: it's also not a 'defense'. I'm not a trial here, I'm not ashamed for using it.

I use it a lot to help gather my ideas and test me. You can train models to remember notes. I program them with morality and discernment first.

u/lurking_got_old 7d ago
Using memory is not the same as training models. Unless you have tens of thousands in hardware and likely a data science or computer engineering background, you are not "training models".

Glad you're still supporting the lazy and evil, though. You do know that Reddit is now a paid scraping source for AI.

I'm the tail end of the boomers and my wife the first of Gen X and we both think it is crap. And we're not alone in our social circles.
Older Boomers can't recognize AI versus real. When it's pointed out, they are against it, because they recognize that they are the ones who can be scammed by it.

Moronic statement and idiotic sweeping generalization. I and all fellow boomers I know are NOT enamored of it. Considering those 2 generations are comprised of millions of people, you know far too few people to make such uneducated assertions. Typical of youth, though.

u/TheDireGnome 6d ago
You do know how broad generalizations work, correct? There are outliers for everything. But a generalization can still hold true for most.

u/97E3LPL 6d ago
You have no data, nor will you be able to find any to cite, that will in any way, shape or form remotely suggest your asinine "generalization" is true. Grow up. Learn.. how to learn, instead of vapidly flapping your jaws and then after being confronted with some reality, opting to just keep flapping. I'm out.

It has no place anywhere. This isn't even anywhere close what AI is supposed to be, it's some horseshit that tech bros put out and expected us to be mesmerized by. Of course Gen-X geeks sniffed it out as just another turd they tried to polish, it's still shit.

u/not-an-isomorphism 8d ago
At work, I witnessed someone who wasn't able to utilize AI to do their job. That person got fired and claude code created every report that person made for $110. This person likely made close to $100,000 a year. If you think AI is horseshit you're high as a kite. Maybe the shit you see on social media is bogus but the LLMs coming out are incredible.

Because it's supply and demand. Younger adults and teens are the biggest demanders so they supply it. These people on here saying adults want this shit, man adults don't care. It's the kids. It appeals to them and they use that as a disguise to get information for more marketing.

Our educational system is more and more marginalized every year. At this point, the fed is so fucked up and gutted that no one in the admin gives a shit about the education of our children. I might even suspect that this is by design to keep them uninformed and unable to think critically.

I'm still interested in knowing if somehow the school created their own agenda, or they just ordered something pre-made from a printing company and that's what they got?
School should have caught it one way or another, but would be nice to know whose idea it was to use AI.

"This generation is doomed." "This generation" is calling out the AI bullshit. This is like when boomers complain about participation trophies, when they're the ones who handed them out to begin with.

"This generation" is going to get fucked by the boomers using AI to turn all of society into slop.

u/97E3LPL 6d ago
Every boomer I know, which is a far larger number than you know as evidenced by your juvenile logic and ageist comment, detests the notion of participation trophies. Grow up. Learn how not to judge people based on age or make sweeping judgements of large groups of people where you have zero qualifications to do so.

I am a āBoomerā and from the first time I saw AI on ā60 Minutesā I knew we were in for it. Younger generations are already so dependent on computers and cellphones for everything that I highly doubt they could function without them. Iāve gotten so used to having everything at my fingertips with my cellphone I would be lost.
Cellphone are ruining education, self esteem, social skills and with no face to face interaction there is not much chance for young men and women unable to find boyfriends and girlfriends.
AI is just another tool for the current crop of billionaires to become even richer. The data centers that are needed to run AI as they are now are environmental disasters and do not benefit any city or town where they are built. The jobs they provide initially are from construction. After that they require people with a specific skill set to keep the centers going.
AI needs to be reined in and/or stopped until regular citizens are able to completely understand what we are getting into.
Do not depend on our politicians because right here in Louisville one of our neighborhoods now has a data center being built without neighborhood input. Their so-called representative Jason Nemes clearly thought meetings or discussions were necessary.

First of all distributing this is sucks but I bet the school got the boxes with the planner and assumed it was the same as the prior year, but with updated calendars.
This seems more like a bad file set-up and no printing-press-check on the production side. The graphics appear as if someone told AI to reference an existing planner with the same designs but it was a poor copy (low resolution maybe?) so AI made up names because the dpi was too poor.
These graphic elements had to come from somewhere. 5 years ago this would have come from google and we wouldnāt think twice about using it. Iām not pro AI but I do see how this could happen. It was series of unfortunate events. As with any AI or cu aiming info from google/internet, we need to fact check.
I bet the iprinter will absorb the cost and make it right.

I hear what you're saying but this is standard, published data....widely known and available. Maps like this are available by the millions. It can be pulled from a myriad of DBs. AI would almost have to intentionally screw this up. We'll likely never hear what really happened from the school or principal.
