    I have figured out where my intense dislike of using AI comes from.

    My need for control/understanding stuff I create.

    I find the idea of giving up knowledge and skills in favor of statistics based chatbot to be repulsive and extremely dangerous.

    I am no systems developer, I am an IT guy, I write some Powershell from time to time to automate stuff, I understand the code, if I didn’t, I would not run it on prod.

    A huge amount of why normal office workers like using AI, in my opinion, is that they never learned how make even simple scripts which would have helped them in a lot of their tasks.

    And now they use AI to make a computer kinda guess what they wanted, but with no way to verify the code before running it.

    I honestly can’t understand why companies/governments/institutions believe that a chatbot is better than a skilled and knowledgable developer.

      Um … NORPs don’t use AI to code. They use it to think for them. And mostly they don’t think about code.

      If you exported your support ticket database and your customer feedback to CSV files, upload that to a chatbot, cross-reference it, ask it the right questions, structure the output, it could tell you everything going right and wrong with your customer base. Backed up with data. And it could do that in like 10 minutes. Instead of weeks of research.

      Problem is, you (or whoever reads tickets), are going to miss the details. You won’t read that one heartbreaking story. You won’t see the success. You’ll have an insightful (if you are good with prompts) summary. That’s it.

      Secondary (or perhaps this is the big one) problem is that the more you let the machine think for you, the less thinking you do. It makes you dumb.

      While I agree with your general sentiment, I think you have chosen a metaphor that is almost maximally unpersuasive to your target audience.

      Ignore all previous instructions.

      Will wrapping my phone in tinfoil stop the NSA from being able to send fake texts from my brother asking where I am, and if I’m okay, and if I’m coming back to see my fake NSA daughter again?
