[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who works with AI agents - np above is on point. The author is on the inside and frankly doing a public service

Claude skills and cowork has rocked a lot of companies this January. Everyone is sprinting to adopt - it’s not hype or futurist predictions anymore. [/quote]

This post is such transparent marketing hype. This is all a desperate attempt to make AI happen as these overvalued companies are hemorrhaging money in this silly endeavor.[/quote]

I’m the np above.  Look, I get it, I’m skeptical and lean towards being a Luddite.  And AI can do dumb things. [b]One of my co-workers described it as like working with an eager intern who needs to be reined in sometimes.  But the changes are real.  The improvements in its quality are exponential. [/b]

I don’t really know what this means for the future of work, especially for my kids who are still in high school, but this isn’t smoke blowing. Disruptive change is coming. [/quote]

Ok but what ARE the changes?  What are the exponential improvements?  Where can I look and see for myself something completed with AI that is really mind-blowing?  People keep talking about AI doing things but provide no evidence of AI actually doing the thing.  This is not coming from a place of skepticism; it’s just a basic question that no one seems able to answer.[/quote]

Have you used it? I’ve been using it lately at my work, and it’s doing 99% of my job completely correctly. [/quote]

I absolutely do use it, which is why I am not worried about it replacing me.

I don’t know what kind of job you have that 99% of it can be done by an app that hallucinates 40% of the time.  Yesterday I asked Claude to rewrite a paragraph for me in a memo and it produced convincing-sounding nonsense.[/quote]

I had your view. Very senior attorney here. A colleague introduced me to 5.2 and 5.3, and I've gone from "AI is a mediocre legal assistant/flimsy associate," to "This can do in ten minutes what took all of us decades to develop." For the first time in all of this, I am concerned about massive and rapid job displacement. The short-term will tolerate human-AI integrated work. The long-term? I don't see how even the most senior among us will be able to monetize ourselves. [/quote]

I mean, most of us know lawyers are useless people who have made an entire career out of arguing over stupid paperwork with their fellow useless people.

It’s not shocking that you’re easily replaced by a poorly trained bot.[/quote]
