“The study revealed that #AI #chatbots actually created new #job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who did not use the tools themselves, offsetting potential time savings. For example, many teachers now spend time detecting whether students use #ChatGPT for homework, while other workers review AI output quality or attempt to craft effective prompts.”

Two years ago, prompt #engineering was one of the buzziest jobs in tech, fetching salaries of up to $200,000 on the promise of becoming any #company’s “AI Whisperer.”

Now, the role is basically obsolete thanks to the breakneck speed of AI #development and companies’ own maturity in terms of understanding how to use the #technology.

Been doing good shit lately - building clustered server stacks for some of the world's greatest corporations.

I've been doing Bash programming for over 20 years, long before Puppet and Ansible came along, so I never really got into those technologies. I gave them a chance, but I prefer having full control, access to sources, and flexibility in my work. That's why I'm not a fan of the previously mentioned tools - or things like Tailwind and Docker. I love building my own tools and frameworks.
