AI can’t do half of what it’s hyped to do. But what would the top know? If they’d been in touch with reality, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today. Like every other clueless corpo, they’ve bought into the fantasy of machines replacing people. The only real outcome? Our jobs get offshored.

@at they just laid off several people, and now we will use AI to solve our issues rather than humans. How do I know? They told us.
@a7 they just bought 2 new robots to do our job in SCT. We have 1 now and it goes down like 4,5 times a shift. It's great when it works but what they did was cancel tge support from its creators because they didn't want to pay for it and handed off to a tech who is learning as he goes. So because of said robots they no longer need all 16 of us.
Was there some memo blaming AI for these layoffs that I missed? TI is way behind on AI development and deployment and we don't have anything meaningful yet that would replace people. I can tell you with 100% certainty that MY knows this. No idea what he's telling Haviv, but the level below him knows our AI implementation is basically nonexistent.
@a9 yes internal versions are a joke compared to individual user offerings on your own phone.
This reminds me of the joke after Amazon's just walk out store was exposed. AI really stands for All Indians.
@a8 I work with AI here at TI and I can tell you its all smoke and mirrors.
Um AI is pretty up there I don't see it going anywhere. They just signed a $3 million record deal to AI artist. It's literally taking over everything. I sure do miss the early 2000s where everybody just needed a real person.
TI is wayyyyy behind in AI research and investment. Highly doubt AI would take any of our jobs.
