[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]
