    Prompt or model issue my dude

    Or you’re one of the few who have a pretty niche job

    Just things like different words or vocabulary, or helping with some code related knowledge, Linux issues… or even random known knowledge that you happen not to know

      I think LLMs are also just genuinely not as universally useful as expected. Everyone thinks it can automate every job except their own not because everyone thinks their job is special but because they know all the intricate parts of that job that LLMs are still really bad at.

      For instance AI could totally do my job at a surface level but it quickly devolves into deal breaking caveats which I am lumping into very broad categories to save time:

      • Output would look good (great even) but not actually be useable in most applications
      • Output cannot even begin to be optimized in the same way humans can optimize it
      • It would take more effort for to fix these than to just do the whole thing on my own to begin with

        Case in point for me. AI cannot write documentation for new technical procedures because by definition they are new procedures. The information is not in its knowledge base, because I haven’t written it yet.

      helping with some code related knowledge, Linux issues

      I’m sorry but why the absolute flaming fuck does everyone assume that programming is the only job in the universe?

      There are entire industries that don’t revolve around Linux. It’s amazing but not everyone in the world has to care about programming. Everyone needs to stop telling me that AI is good at programming. Firstly because it isn’t, it’s good damn awful. Secondly because I’m not a programmer, so I don’t care.

        I’m sorry but why the absolute flaming fuck does everyone assume that programming is the only job in the universe?

        I’m just giving examples I relate to, and describe my use of it

        Firstly because it isn’t, it’s good damn awful. Secondly because I’m not a programmer, so I don’t care.

        That explains why you think it’s awful at it then. You just believe the haters because you have confirmation bias. Fact is companies and people wouldn’t use it to code if it wasn’t good at that

        It’s perfect for summaries, known general knowledge, correcting text, roleplay, repetitive tasks and some logic problems…

          Well if by that you mean I’ve used it and it’s crap, then yeah, I’ve confirmed it.
