- ahartmetz 4mo agoEvery report about AI problems has this comment. Just one more model, bro.

- dijksterhuis 4mo agojust one more model. just one more prompt. just one more guardrail. just one more. just. one. more.
- neonstatic 4mo agoIt's the 2026 version of "two more weeks"
- inigyou 4mo agoIs that referring to COVID? The USA never started the clock on its first two weeks.
- neonstatic 4mo agoYes, but not just COVID - it was the favorite fad around that time. When Trump lost the election there was a wave of grifters promising a reckoning to his fanbase with goal posts being moved roughly every two weeks.

- gdhkgdhkvff 4mo agoAnd every report about AI problems has this comment. Just one more failed use of AI and then AI will stop being useful and go away forever, bro.
- probably_wrong 4mo agoI think you're misreading the parent comment. As an example: Tesla has promised unsupervised self-driving for its cars for the last 10 years. Every year the promise is "it will be here soon", and yet this year we found out that the promises from 2019 are never going to materialize because the hardware isn't enough [1]. That's not to say that electric vehicles are going to go away, nor that supervised self-driving isn't useful. But it does mean that there are some things that the technology just can't do and that constantly arguing "the next version will fix it" without any evidence is not productive.

- ahartmetz 4mo agoNah, it's useful but needs to be treated with suspicion due to persistent issues. Very persistent so far, not fixed or even improved much by new models, which is my point.

- root-parent 4mo agoThe new AI models make it worst. They make the hallucinations plausible enough to survive reviews. So you have it so much worst. As analogy would be like you have less clown shoes, and weird fingers, but more forged passports.
- vrighter 4mo agothat always seems to be the case though
- eviks 4mo agoYes, and with newer prompt engineers to boot!

- fakedang 4mo agoAt what point do people stop paying expensive consulting firms for the privilege to receive AI-generated advice? At this point, might as well call Sam the homeless hobo living beside the dump behind the Wendy's and invite him to advice the CXOs/Board. P.S. - In a former life, Sam was a BSD (Big Swinging Dick) on WallStreetBets. He's more qualified than AI in providing actionable advice to CXOs.
- inigyou 4mo agoConsulting has never been about the advice. As I understand it, it's about the prestige of the network that delivers the advice.
- Foobar8568 4mo agoIt's more about either putting the blame on an external party who are the "experts", and big4 can't be wrong. And if things go well, it's due to the signing person greatness.
- tempest_ 4mo agoYou are paying a fall guy to come in and gather data or implement something you want to do but don't have a ton of evidence for. That way if shit goes south you can blame them and if it succeeds you get the credit. Their entire job is more related to corporate politics than prestige. Maybe it was in the past.
