@zleap@techhub.social people think they can replace competence and experience with AI, without knowing what they're doing. This way, they're causing a lot of damage, because the AI will always have an apparently perfect solution. Apparently is the key, here.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @zleap@techhub.social I saw somebody say that people love using AI to do other people's jobs, but aren't happy when other people use them to do their jobs. When you don't know what you're doing, you don't notice how poor a job the AI is doing. It's basically the same phenomenon as Gell-Mann Amnesia now that I think about it.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe AI doesn't have any understanding. Depending on the context, it pieces things together in the way most likely to provide a solution to the problem. And normally you can work with it. But there is no understanding of the problem. Also many critics don't get this. Don't get me wrong—I use it, and it makes my work easier in many ways. But there are still those moments where the result is total BS and where you need to understand it to know that it is BS. @zleap@techhub.social
