How do you went from what I said to "fanatical"...?
I don't have the slightest idea who "Simon" is and I'm taking the post at face value: it contradicts itself, and that's a bad argument.
Just think about it... In this scenario, management screws up a formula through AI... Which, at least st this point, will surface at some point - not all of us are math ignorant - so what happens is Brenda gets her position back and upper management loses trust in AI. That's the likely outcome; the Brenda's of the world will suffer until upper management realizes their mistake, but end of the day, they have _not_ lost their value, given the post says that AI screws up.
But this is clearly not the conclusion the author ("Simon") intends - they believe AI will erode Brenda value.
That's what I'm saying - AI can't be both incapable and a job menace. For it to threaten jobs like Brenda's, it need to be very capable.
And sorry but "heart transplant" by a transformer model is laughable. Writing formulas, on the other hand, isn't.
I didn't author this piece. I quoted it from an amusing TikTok, which I linked to at the bottom. Here's that TikTok in full: https://www.tiktok.com/@belligerentbarbies/video/75683800086...
I've been quite entertained at how quoting a (very funny) joke on TikTok has resulted in a 400+ comment thread on Hacker News.
