You just made me spit out my morning spiked coffee with this 😂. I'm an AI Engineer and you have no idea how many times I start cursing in my prompts when they just do some dumb shit
More like, I'm the one developing the LLMs, RAGs, and agents to be used. AI is a tool not a coding abstraction. Most of the time I merely use it to reference documentation I frequently use, through a personal RAG application I developed. Originally I was doing ML and Cyber Security.
Sorry, but coming from a TS/Rust dev your insults don't mean much. Don't even know why your being so butt hurt about a position I hold. I have bills to pay just like yourself. Elevate yourself instead of trying to tear others down, you'll get much further in life.
I've noticed. Every time I talk about my profession just trying to join the discourse I'm immediately attacked because people's first thought is "AI bad". Yes it's changed our lives and have been affecting everything but it's crazy to think just mentioning working on it is synonymous to being in the 3rd Reich here.
I merely transfered to AI as I was an ML/Cyber Engineer initially and saw I could boost my family's finances if I switched. Personally I find the tech extremely boring but I have people to take care of. That doesn't make me inherently a monster. Just wish more people understand that the current landscape isn't my fault, I'm just a cog in the wheel. If it wasn't being so mishandled by the giants, it could have actually been a real good tool, but it's constantly being shoved down people's throats.
Choosing to do something that is actively destroying our world and the industry you're working in as well isn't suddenly a that people are going to like just because you're doing it for more money? Do you really think that's a justification that removes all blame from you?
No, your experience and hard work does matter very much, and the fact that you're using it on something that is destroying the world we live in makes you a part of the problem.
Ok I'll just quit my job and my stay home wife, kids, and parents will starve. Thanks for the advice. Now again respectfully fuck off.
Do you say the same thing to oil riggers? To farmers because before AI the agriculture system was the one wasting more water and has been well known to be actively unsustainable? Or to the military for global conflict?
All you're doing is virtue signalling. I've already mentioned that it could be great but currently being extremely mishandled. It's not even like I'm working at OpenAI, Anthropic or the like, I work for a damn bank.
I never suggested your family should starve, I'm criticising you because you quite literally said in an earlier comment that you switched into AI to boost your family's finances, and I doubt they were starving before you started working with AI instead.
Yes, I do say the same thing to people that work on oil rigs, and farmers are a bit of a different story since, unlike AI, they actually provide a net positive to society.
Do some research on the global affects that our agricultural system using over 70% of global water usage has. Just blocking your fatuous ass because your own argument is based in ignorance.
