&#39;Get on board or get left behind&#39; can mean that if you refuse to use generative AI and/or LLM&#39;s to speed up your work, you will soon be working at a snails pace compared to your AI shagging colleagues. Deadlines will become tighter, time on task will be scrutinised and criticised, and your workload will increase. I&#39;m discovering this in my current role. Taking 20 minutes (yep, just 20 minutes) to figure out an excel formula that wasn&#39;t working as intended has become the rallying cry of my (otherwise awesome) manager to try and convince me I should have just asked co-pilot initially. Now I have been given extra finance tasks (not in my job description) and tighter KPI&#39;s for daily tasks. I will not be using #copilot or fucking #claude or #chatgpt or any of the other bullshit AI tools my employers are currently orgasming over. They can try and discipline me, or even fire me. I look forward to how a company that is supposed to be ethical and green is going to argue it at the tribunal.

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space I think I'm starting to feel this. Today I even had to sit through an LLM glazing session. I feel like an alien.

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space we're finding out how many organisations are *outwardly* ethical aren't we

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space I know the feeling, I think mandatory training is coming in this year and I need to find a way out. Although reassuringly I have a colleague who has to use Excel since they changed teams and they keep asking co-pilot how to do things, then when it can't solve it they come to me.

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space I was genuinely shocked that a cow orker was using copilot to write sql queries. If you don’t understand database structures in the first place, then how are going to know if the query it suggests is correct? Perhaps I should tell them about little Bobby Tables? https://m.xkcd.com/327/

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space I recently tried CoPilot just to give it an absolutely fair shake. I fed it a spreadsheet of scrapped products and asked "How many were scrapped between and -related reasons?" It told me there were two, and pointed to the specific rows. The correct answer was over 400. Shortly after, I have a presentation where I cited this as a reason never to use it.
