Was told at work today that my team needs to find a use for AI with a measurable ROI, or someone higher up would find one for us.
Let them lol. I wouldn't put my team in a position to take the blame for that nonsense. You can automate physical tasks without AI or internet and there is no justification in letting something programmed/prone to so many errors automate the business decisions too. Besides, once it learns something useful from your company, it will use that knowledge to benefit the next paying customer (your competition).

There was a very brief period when chatgpt was kicking out reasonably good answers, but that didn't last long. It took a hard turn towards the meme above and there is no coming back. They demonstrated the awesome capabilities of AI and then aggressively took it away before enough people went to a paid subscription - bad move IMO.

Enshittification will reach the paid users eventually. It always does. That is one thing your company can safely bet on. As long as greedy people run it, AI is about as dependable as a drug addict.

You'll get no argument from me. I've had the "opportunity" to use AI on several projects, and have to constantly watch for hallucinations on even the most simple output.

Can't wait to see what happens when the auditors are told to use some internal AI to get their answers and the AI is having a bad hair day.

lol yea. Back when I ser up my server, it was immensely helpful. I went back to have it help me with a webpage for my project and it kept causing issues.

Last week I tried to have it help me with Si5351 code for my ATTiny44A and it kept using the available libraries. I told it countless times that those libraries are too big for the tiny's memory and it would acknowledge and agree with the problem. It would give me some garbage then go right back to existing libraries when I said it was wrong. It can't won't even remember things from the same chat any longer. Glad I switched to the mega...

One word. Enshittification.

YMMV
Whatever black magic it uses, DuckAI seems to sift through unintelligible nonsense and find bias currents for boutique or woefully obsolete amplifiers that have ze-ro service data available :oops:
 
Ford found out the hard way when they laid off hundreds of their engineers and let AI do their work. After a year or so of issues and numerous recalls they just recently had to rehire 350 of their senior engineers to fix AI's mess. Of course, it's possible that AI never got all the info it needed in the first place. People gotta have job security.

Slightly wrong answers burn more tokens. The longer your chat takes, the more money for them.
