It is the work shortcut that dare not speak its name. A third of people do not tell their bosses about their use of AI tools amid fears their ability will be questioned if they do.
Research for the Guardian has revealed that only 13% of UK adults openly discuss their use of AI with senior staff at work and close to half think of it as a tool to help people who are not very good at their jobs to get by.
Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI who has signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK government to explore the deployment of advanced AI models in areas including justice, security and education.
Oh good. All sectors that are easily automated and don’t require anything in the way of skill and nuance.
It’s a shame we can’t get an automated government, I think most people would be in favour of that.
They don’t get it at all. Firstly AI is obviously just a bubble, so we shouldn’t be investing in it anyway, but secondly even if it did work the way they’re saying it will, neither this government nor the last, have taken any steps to alleviate the upcoming issues. No talk about improved social safety nets, no guarantees about worker protections, no talk about trial schemes of UBI, they have given us nothing.
They have literally one job, to fix the absolute mess of an economy we now have and they’re not doing anything towards that goal.
I use it occasionally but it generally seems like it isn’t very useful. By far the largest benefit is on bullshit tasks that shouldn’t be done in the first place but some wanker in management has set for us.
A lot of my work is telling people they cannot use AI because it is a security risk. Lol.
Keir Starmer has said he wants to “mainline AI into the veins” of the UK.
What an insufferable man he is.
If by man you mean cunt, then yes, agreed
