At 3 A.m., I Turned to AI for Comfort. That Was My First Mistake

I just sat through a company wide "alignment" call where they were telling everyone about the AI training programs they are putting through

They went through great efforts to frame any hesitation about using AI tools as being caused by fear basically. This training program was pitched in such a way to make it seem like anyone not embracing and using AI tools is backwards and old fashioned and behind the times, so it's time to "get with the program"

It's very discouraging

I don't think these tools are useful enough to spend my time on.

I would rather spend 20 minutes writing code than 19 minutes writing prompts to almost generate the right code that I can fix in 1 minute

Maybe one day this stuff will be useful to me

But by that time I imagine companies won't have much use for employees at all anymore, because AI will basically just replace us

I'm not even 40 yet. It is hard for me to imagine living another 40 years with the trajectory that the world is going

The future sucks a lot

With every year that passes, I am more sympathetic to Kaczynski's manifesto.

I hadn't even considered that AI allows HR to make things worse than the interactive videos/tests they currently use. I'm now imagining a future where you have to guess the correct answers to generated nonsense while passing hidden loyalty tests.
