I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
The order is:
Use whatever tool is not malicious and doesnt attack customer data.
Most use (IMO) way too much AI. The first result (the google AI answer) is trusted and done.
No research done beyond that.
I purposefully blocked the AI answer in uBlock. I don’t want any of that.
Besides that I use it on occassion to look for a word or reword my search query if I don’t find or know what I am looking for.
Very useful for the “What was the name of X again? It does Y and Z” queries.
Also for Powershell scripting because it can give me examples on using it.
But every asnwer is double and tripple checked for accuracy.
Seen too much news about made up answers.
At home I usually only use it for bash scripting because I can’t be bothered to learn that.
