(Go stick your head in a pig!)

Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    I work with Linux and was recently obligated to work with “Linux admins” from another company. One of them had apparently never used Linux before. I don’t begrudge anyone their lack of experience, but they shouldn’t be in positions that require fairly extensive experience.

    Anyway, at one point they were doing a screenshare of some (very simple) code that I wrote but that I’m pretty sure they didn’t know I wrote. They were all collectively trying to figure out how the (again, very simple) script worked (it literally just changed permissions and renamed some things, IIRC). For every single line, they would copy and paste it into ChatGPT and ask what the line did. It was kind of amazing to watch.

      That sounds super painful to work with. But also a hilarious anecdote so you got that.

        Honestly, it was painful, but mainly because of the ridiculous number of meetings they forced on us. Watching them bumble through messing up their tasks was pretty entertaining.
