      From my work perspective the only thing I use Ai for is setting up excel formulas I can’t remember or never bothered to learn.

      Thats what I think Ai should be used for automating functions so your not spending 20 mins fucking about in a program trying to get it to do the thing you want in your head. Instead I can spend 28 mins fucking about on Reddit.

      Explain yourselves to the nice American businessmen. Why aren’t you sufficiently using the plagiarism machine that tells lies?

      What if they put ads in it? What if they made it easier for it to drive your elderly parents insane? What if they made it more addictive for children?

      They’ve bet the entire economy on this and you don’t give a shit.

      >Correspondence shows OpenAI sought the meeting with Mr Martin and it took place in Government Buildings on May 27th.

      Why is a company with 55 employees in the country getting a meeting with the Taoiseach?

      A colleague of mine uses it all the time. He uses it mostly to find out standards and regulations. Now the owner of the company is doing it. They don’t question if it’s accurate or not. They swear by it. 🤷🏿

      We’re already very skilled at bluffing a load of bollocks that sounds true enough on our own.

      Open AI told them to pump those numbers ups. We need more AI slop at the cost of the environment.

      You can’t put a cap on capitalism

      Just run your own AI if you have a spare PC with a GPU. Won’t be as fast, but you run it, not the other way around.

      Parts of the civil service has added ai to internal systems to help civil servants with questions they might have. When like, you can just read policy, ask another member of staff etc rather than getting a terrible answer from a robot.

      I use it for two things 1. Excel. 2. Creating presentation content.

      Beyond that I find it meh and have little to no use case for it.

      I’ve been trying the free version of it for about a year or so.
      Not constant use, maybe once a week I’ll ask it a question or two on something I need technical help with, or if I need a hand wording something.

      In my experience it’s a dangerous thing to rely on for reliable information or guidance. It constantly makes shit up.

      Unfortunately people will only catch it doing this if they have a bit of prior knowledge about the subject they’re enquiring about.

      I’d like to think Ireland is a country that respects the craft of our writers and artists too much to ever allow the plagiarism machine become entrenched in our corporate culture.

    19. rockyoudottxt on

      Our sarcasm probably exceeds its safe operational thresholds anyway. That and it will never understand that I will yea means absolutely fucking not.

    20. ItsLikeHerdingTwats on

      It’s Ireland, we already have enough overly confident liars in every workplace. Ones that you can take the piss out of and have some banter with, why would we downgrade?

    21. Reddynever on

      Eh, good!
      Fuck off tech bro trying to influence our government to get us use it more.

      Why does everyone have to be so extremist on everything. AI has plenty of limitations but it’s also really helpful for particular tasks. I’m not so sure about it’s wider societal impacts long-term, but that’s no reason not to use it on a personal level where it can be useful. Feels like people here would rather be worse at what they do than overcome some ingrained hatred of AI.

    24. unsubtlewoods on

      If you’re going to use this shite, use Le Chat so it’s at least an EU company.

    28. GarthODarth on

      I actually wonder is that partly because of the fawning personality it has? I find it really offputting.

      It’s very much based on American service industry serfdom speak, and that doesn’t really go over the same here.

    29. brbrcrbtr on

      Chat gpt is cringe and I genuinely think I’m better than people who use it. It’s one of the only things in life that will make me immediately think less of someone.

    30. AbilityStill1089 on

      Maybe I’d use it more if it would tell me to go away and have a good shite to myself an odd time instead of agreeing with everything I say.

    31. rochambreau on

      I’d imagine most of Europe is using it more for translation to English/other language/checking grammar in 2nd language etc

      Ireland has 2 languages but very little translation needs outside of academia (or IT programming language work), the general population will go their full day using just 1 language a lot more than the rest of the EU

      My senior management (based in the US) is really pushing us to use AI. I’ve a team of 10, majority aren’t native English speakers. 70% of their job is drafting reports. Our reports are read by auditors, sometimes even regulators. The quality of the reports went downhill and I can pinpoint which of the analysts use AI a lot, because suddenly they cannot form a coherent sentence without the help of ChatGPT. It’s getting to a point where I’m planning to put one of the analysts on PIP, because I pretty much have to rewrite their reports.
      Anyway, this tool was made to dumb people down. It’s easy to rule over stupid people.

      The kneejerk anti-AI bandwagon is always so silly to me. For me, I think this technology is incredible and really is going to change everything. It already has which we can see by the fact that we can barely trust that any footage we see online is real anymore.

      In my opinion, people should be putting more effort into advocating the *ethical* use of AI instead of the childish, blanket „fuck AI“ any time the topic comes up.

      I use ChatGPT or other LLMs every day, as do a lot of people I know. Both at work and at home.

    36. FIGHTorRIDEANYMAN on

      More are using Copilot I assume considering so many companies are so deeply integrated with Microsoft already so it’s a no brainer to buy the data protection thing with them over OpenAI.

      I use it a lot for work. Unit tests, boiler plate, create a class from this spec type of stuff. Saves me a lot of busy work. Also find it great for context specific questions which as it turns out I have a lot of.

      Can see the usual fuck AI posts in this thread. I see these people as the same who said fuck computers when they were first released.

      I haven’t used it (I’m technically not Irish but Aussie living decades in Ireland). I had a subscription to Sudowrite (which was very useful), but cancelled it when I didn’t use it as much. I bought a lifetime license outright for an AI art site and have a free subscription on another for beta testing for them. Possibly more than one, actually. It’s been a while since I used them.

      I’ve been focusing more on regular content creation without AI. Writing my own books and buying professional quality markers and metallic gel pens for my art (out of Christmas money). 😀

    39. NocturneFogg on

      One possible reason for a difference btw it’s a lot of people use it for translation or nuancing writing in other languages, but often in Europe that means English.

      Generative AI and LLMs aren’t just a blip. They’re here to stay, but I wouldn’t be rushing to introduce them to classrooms, but at the same time they’re going to be used regardless. Hard banning them is completely pointless too. Learning to use them as a tool makes sense, but I’m not really sure how teachers would be equipped to do that, as few of them have the depth of knowledge about AI to do that.

      I see too many people who think AI is an oracle. It’s can be very misleading when it just pattern matches and guesses.
