Companies are going all in on replacing people with AI.
Of course those people are going to resist it.

Forget the fact that we know why there’s a push to use AI. The current state of AI is not actually useful for most things. It’s very good at some things but hasn’t actually changed much for a lot of people.
The push is in part cause they want to do more with less and the fact that they need to find value for what they’ve been over paying for.

Keep it up! Fuck that shit! Why on Earth would any human train a robot to replace them.

I think Ai replacing me at the job i now only do for money would be amazing…if our society didnt suck and that was a good thing like it should be.
A better plow should mean a farmer has to work a little less hard to work the field.

As someone who runs a software company it has been a game changer.
Software is better because it can quietly help behind the scenes, devs are more efficient, our Jr devs are writing more/better code.
Our sales team is sending better personalized emails.
All around amazing benefit. But we aren’t using it for HR or accounting or other stuff (yet).
A good recent example is we needed to parallelize a few services. We had done similar before and it took 2 weeks. AI did it for us in 30 minutes, including all the unit tests to verify same answer before and after.

Writing this while commuting to work for a 3-day AI related summit, some of us have no choice.

Who would have thought…. The people being „forced“ to use the damn stuff says it sucks.
……we have had a couple company wide CEO based meetings ourselves that have had the statements „AI is here so make use of it“.……….I just….lol.

Lmao more AI bad news slop for r/technology to circlejerk on. I do know a company where the employees are refusing to use AI. Coincidentally, for some weird reason, that company is doing terribly compared to another one that replaced all their sales/costumer service agents with AI.

80% what, where is this article even getting those stats from. I don’t know anybody who’s taking any surveys lately voicing their opinions on mandating with regards to company policy and AI

I suppose this is my hope for AI; that as much as the techbro oligarchs will determinedly shove it onto society, this kind of rebellion against adoption will stifle it and stall it. It’ll still be there, sure, but it’s growth will be hampered by resistance to adoption

My employer has been very smart about llm rollout. But i still feel like i have to apologize for being a luddite sometimes to my peers.
I just don’t find these tools that useful. Every time I push myself to use it, I feel like I’m spinning my wheels. It feels like training an incompetent colleague to do some work for me and it takes longer than doing it myself.
Seems like LLMs have legit changed the way that software is made, but i think other fields of work may find it less revolutionary.

feels like we’re in that awkward phase where the expectations jumped ahead of actual workflow value. it’s clearly powerful in pockets, but for a lot of roles it still feels like “extra steps” instead of real leverage
in high volume environments like contact centers, anything that slows down resolution or adds verification just won’t stick. usefulness is measured in seconds, not capability

LLM-based agents are huge in SWE, SRE, and MLE jobs these days.
Far from „refusing to adopt,“ most large engineering orgs have fully adopted them and it’s becoming clear that the industry isn’t going back to the old way of working.

Meanwhile, I have coworkers who are the opposite. They think AI means they get to checkout entirely and clearly use AI for absolutely everything they do but don’t prompt it correctly, don’t proofread and don’t give any thought to output at all. Now I have to deal with their slop.
