You can tell how competent someone is at something by how good they think AI is at that thing.

This is so true.

I recently had a colleague - ignorant of this perspective - give a training presentation on using AI to update a kind of bullshit job useless document.

Dozens of peers attended their presentation. They went on demonstrating relatively mindless prompt inputting for 40 minutes.

I keep remembering just how many people they shared their AI enthusiasm with.

I think they may honestly believe that AI has democratized the workplace, and that they will vibe code their way to successful startup CEO-ship in a year.

I also find it interesting how whenever I've expressed the above sentiment either here or on the Other Place, the up/downvote ratios seem to vary massively depending on the tech-bro quotient of the group. I'm mildly surprised to see it go entirely positive in a community called "technology".

Well yeah, a tech-bro ain't actually that technologically inclined to begin with.

To that I say, welcome to Lemmy!
