This is the problem though, too many people are too trusting of the output.
- simonw 2y agoRight, and those people really need to learn not to do that.
- bluefirebrand 2y agoThis reminds me of an old post somewhere "Everyone will not just" If your solution to any problem includes the phrase "If everyone would just X" then you don't have a real solution, because there is no future where "everyone will just X" "Everyone just needs to learn not to trust the AI so readily" That isn't a real solution. Everyone will not just become more skeptical and better at critical thinking
- simonw 2y agoI don't think those are the same problem. "If only everyone would just do X" where X is a thing that has a positive benefit is unrealistic. "If only people would learn not to do Y" where Y is a thing which actively hurts them and which they can learn the negative consequences over time feels a whole lot less impossible to me. If your co-worker pulls this crap, tell them not to. Complain about it in performance reviews. Replace them with someone who writes good code.
- bluefirebrand 2y ago> Complain about it in performance reviews The last time I brought up concerns with a coworkers performance in a review I was fired a couple of weeks later It turned out he was good buddies with my boss's boss There are a lot of mechanisms in society preventing a lot of people from feeling the negative consequences of their poor work I wish it were so easy as you say
- zb3 2y agoFurthermore I see that AI is optimizing exactly for that.. the "acceptance rate" doesn't actually measure whether the code is correct..
