Turns out AI can cause more problems than it solves. Cleaning up AI slop is one issue. 36% of AI execs at companies with $1B+ in annual rev reported an AI incident that led to data loss, financial damage, brand damage or operational disruptions. Major companies are now limiting employee AI usage. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/13/ai-companies-rushed-workers-fallout

    @amydiehl@mstdn.social Are you kidding me? This magical pixie dust was supposed to have cured cancer by now. It can't be that it was smoke, mirrors, and various forms of shit! This post is sarcasm.

  • @amydiehl@mstdn.social Sounds like an AI business opportunity. CleanSlop, the AI AI slop cleaner. The Silicon Valley Hwy 101 billboard writes itself. All we need is $100M, and we can IPO at $10B easy. It doesn't have to work. Hell, none of this stuff works. That's the whole point of CleanSlop! There is so much slop out there that needs cleaning. What VC could resist. Everyone will want some of the CleanSlop action.

    @amydiehl@mstdn.social Mich wundert das nicht. Der Umgang mit einer neue Technologie muss erst erlernt werden. Es gibt keine Lehrer. Alles wird zu Try&Error - vorausschauendes Handeln im ethischen Sinne, würde ich von Profitgeiern ohnehin nicht erwarten.

    @amydiehl@mstdn.social I know people in the industry, who have been 'forced' to use it as part of their job. One company suddenly found itself paying hundreds of thousands extra on 'tokens' because they forced their staff to use it, got rid of some of the 'experience' and have had to restrict use/access to stop them going under. They even tried to re-hire a couple of people they let go... and had to pay them more money as 'consultants' to fix the rot they caused. It was always a pyramid scheme... and it was always destined to collapse under it's own bullshit... it's going to happen... sooner the better.

    @amydiehl@mstdn.social My little company asked our website vendor to do a simple update to two pages and a simple refresh. She has yet to admit that she used AI to completely wreck our site AND instead of giving us a beta as is customary to approve before going live... the AI just wrecked our live site. It's a disaster and God knows how much of her time it will take her to fix it. And if she can't fix it she's fired and we'll have to pay someone new to do it. #AI
