Me attending "AI University" at work today

    As a student, I feel this so hard. My school canceled every Master's-level class section with less than 15 students and now I'm stuck in 3 16-week AI/ML-centric classes. I suppose I'll at least be well prepared to sit through useless mandatory trainings once I enter the workforce, if I can find a job. I'd say I'm more than ready to graduate so I can be rid of this AI bullshit but I think I really just want to move somewhere remote and become a hermit.

    Ugh, my work mandated doing an “AI training” course too that everyone needs to do until October 31st. Luckily I’m leaving the company at the end of September so I can just ignore the deadline.

    No, you were supposed to be a pro-AI grifter, that is posing as anti-AI for clout, and AI generate the image! (Yes, that happens a lot unfortunately)

  • We use Copilot to make memes that we share on Teams. What else are we gonna do with it? It’s useless for anything remotely productive.

    The worst part about these sorts of training courses, in my experience, they don’t even teach anything. Its just a bunch of buzzward jargon trying to sell you on the topic. Opinions on AI aside, I don’t need to be pitched on using AI, (or many other topics) as training. Give me actual training. “Do X, see what happened? Now try Y, see how its different, these are why they are different/better/worse than Z, these are ways you would use X, Y, or Z.”
