I know this isn’t part of the federated toolset that most in these parts prefer, but I have to use Slack for work. Thought this was interesting.

    Definitely. I’m tempted to yawn due to the massive hype cycle and bandwagoning, except that many GPT integrations are truly useful.

      It really reminds me of the hype in 2016 around blockchain. Every MBA out there is slapping AI all over the place, telling dev teams it’ll revolutionize everything. and to be fair, there are a lot of great places it can make a lot of change, both positive and negative. But, we’re also seeing all the “What the fuck, why do we need AI here”

      For example, I was reading a blog about how this company added AI for their reporting, and they could do things like “Show me the average sales by day of the week”. Which it did, and hey that’s cool. Except, looking into it it was a SQL database. Guys, why did you need AI for that. You could literally write a query that does that. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Sales GROUP BY DAYOFWEEK([SaleDate]). Did we really need to implement AI for that?
