Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM’s. It’s going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying “hey use me i’m better than google!!”

Frustrating.

    I spend significantly more time keeping AI at bay than using it.

    • It is not good enough to write code at the expertise level I’m usually required to work at. I’ve spent more time fixing generated code than it would have taken me to write it from scratch.
    • It hallucinates too much for me to trust any information provided by one
    • Security of AI companies is about the same as IoT companies with the difference being that if IoT leaks my data it’s going to be incompetence and not malice - I don’t trust AI with any of my local data.
    • AI agents require to be given even more access and permissions and that’s just not happening.
    • I contact support when I’ve exhausted what I can do myself and as a result AI chatbots are an annoying obstacle that can’t help me and I have to waste my time going through to reach a person that actually has power to help me
