On the real though

This post is long overdue. Sometimes it's past time to call out some shit, and I'm calling out sloppy AI rollouts.

I'm not calling anyone out in particular here.

I'm calling out the vast majority of commercial facing software in the last two years shoving AI slopcode into their product, and desperately trying to get your users to engage with it.

It has been a rough ride.

The irony is that generative AI is actually a massive breakthrough.

This technology does have a new and real potential to change knowledge work for the better, but for some insane reason businesses have a developed a model that requires them to fire as many employees as possible and so we're here.

This is so absolutely fucking stupid.

We are literally better than this in so many ways.

The vast majority of us would be very angry if we knew what you were writing in your fucking unenforceable end user license agreements, but it doesn't matter, does it?

You all caught the bug.

Your hunger for whatever the fuck it is that you're looking for to fill your empty soul and it got the better of you, so instead of carefully rolling out a game changer technology through the education system to the populace at large, you've created a pile of bullshit that even you are having trouble rolling up hill.

Congratulations on really adding a level of fuckery to our lives that we absolutely didn't need.

Come talk to me when you're ready to develop software like an adult.
