AI on the day to day?
I got the most AI job enquiry yet on Friday - it was almost beyond parody, it was so mangled and ridiculous.
Potential Client kept chasing me over the weekend so I wrote her a blunt, but polite email this morning when I came back in and a hopefully instructive response about why I would not be taking such a job on.
The image assets she'd generated were basically impossible to create, especially using the processes I (or anyone who does what I do) am able to offer, and the language of the brief was just awful hyper-American corporatism. It was a farce.
Never mind the fact that she wanted what would have been anyway a very complicated costing 'by monday morning latest', having sent the thing at 4pm on a Friday evening. Red Flags All The Way Down.
I kept thinking about the effort chain, equating it to about a couple of inches worth of prompting, resulting in a couple of feet's worth of 'brief', necessitating a mile's worth of costing and effort at my end. Basically it was just kicking actual thouhg and effort down the road.
Not much looking forward to this becoming the new normal.
.
Amusing thing was that her first email response to my immediate dismissal before explanation was clearly written by her (non-native ESL, and the email was perfectly fine), but she obviously distrusted herself so she sent the same as an AI-fluffed follow up a few minutes later and it was just... bilge.
- you can't really blame her when the ads show some idiot getting his presentation done by copilot, or some other numpty having his holiday planned by chatgpt.hans_glib
- the techbros continue to lie us about how great their fourth rate autoscrapers are, and the credulous lap it up.hans_glib
- it's like black and decker saying "our drill will build your house for you"hans_glib
- there may be sum underestimation in the effects AI will have in the near-mid term. https://www.citrinir…keewee
- Working a project request to data engineer a project that was clearly a long AI-response, straight pasted into a job ticket.cotton
- Unapologetic attempt to outsource thinking to AI from the head of operations, planning to build strategy on the output which is flawed from the prompt.cotton
- So no AI will take your job :))grafician
- The fact people just try is hilarious
Then please attack me when I call then idiotsgrafician - Them*grafician

- Except he is absolute serious about being a troll.monospaced

- I’ll ask again after the first time you wrote this. Do you yourself have some estate with a pool and vineyard? You called me a peasant, so I’m genuinely curiousmonospaced
- And moldy is right, why are you posting properties that are less than a down payment here, like it’s a flex?monospaced
- My house happens to be worth significantly over a million, and I have a healthy retirement, but I’m only saying that because you brought it up.monospaced
- Sadly, I do not own any cars. Never have. Just lease. I guess I’m a peasant.monospaced
- talking about cars, romanians streets are the deadliest in europe, ...neverscared
