From my work perspective the only thing I use Ai for is setting up excel formulas I can’t remember or never bothered to learn.
Thats what I think Ai should be used for automating functions so your not spending 20 mins fucking about in a program trying to get it to do the thing you want in your head. Instead I can spend 28 mins fucking about on Reddit.
Good!
Explain yourselves to the nice American businessmen. Why aren’t you sufficiently using the plagiarism machine that tells lies?
What if they put ads in it? What if they made it easier for it to drive your elderly parents insane? What if they made it more addictive for children?
They’ve bet the entire economy on this and you don’t give a shit.

Why is a company with 55 employees in the country getting a meeting with the Taoiseach?
A colleague of mine uses it all the time. He uses it mostly to find out standards and regulations. Now the owner of the company is doing it. They don’t question if it’s accurate or not. They swear by it. š¤·šæ
Good. Fuck āAIā.
We’re already very skilled at bluffing a load of bollocks that sounds true enough on our own.
For those dependant on AI download ‘le chat’ by French AI company Mistral. Its better to support your neighbours especially when current US policy is destruction of the EU.
Open AI told them to pump those numbers ups. We need more AI slop at the cost of the environment.
You canāt put a cap on capitalism
I use it for two things 1. Excel. 2. Creating presentation content.
Beyond that I find it meh and have little to no use case for it.
I’ve been trying the free version of it for about a year or so.
Not constant use, maybe once a week I’ll ask it a question or two on something I need technical help with, or if I need a hand wording something.
In my experience it’s a dangerous thing to rely on for reliable information or guidance. It constantly makes shit up.
Unfortunately people will only catch it doing this if they have a bit of prior knowledge about the subject they’re enquiring about.
I’d like to think Ireland is a country that respects the craft of our writers and artists too much to ever allow the plagiarism machine become entrenched in our corporate culture.
I use it to reword emails and thatās pretty much it
Our sarcasm probably exceeds its safe operational thresholds anyway. That and it will never understand that I will yea means absolutely fucking not.
It’s Ireland, we already have enough overly confident liars in every workplace. Ones that you can take the piss out of and have some banter with, why would we downgrade?
Why does everyone have to be so extremist on everything. AI has plenty of limitations but itās also really helpful for particular tasks. Iām not so sure about itās wider societal impacts long-term, but thatās no reason not to use it on a personal level where it can be useful. Feels like people here would rather be worse at what they do than overcome some ingrained hatred of AI.
Keeping the head for the butlerian jihad
If youāre going to use this shite, use Le Chat so itās at least an EU company.
We watched the Terminator and Matrix franchises and took heed!Ā
I’ve been using it quite a bit, it’s fun
I actually wonder is that partly because of the fawning personality it has? I find it really offputting.
It’s very much based on American service industry serfdom speak, and that doesn’t really go over the same here.
Chat gpt is cringe and I genuinely think I’m better than people who use it. It’s one of the only things in life that will make me immediately think less of someone.
Maybe I’d use it more if it would tell me to go away and have a good shite to myself an odd time instead of agreeing with everything I say.
I’d imagine most of Europe is using it more for translation to English/other language/checking grammar in 2nd language etc
Ireland has 2 languages but very little translation needs outside of academia (or IT programming language work), the general population will go their full day using just 1 language a lot more than the rest of the EU
My senior management (based in the US) is really pushing us to use AI. Iāve a team of 10, majority arenāt native English speakers. 70% of their job is drafting reports. Our reports are read by auditors, sometimes even regulators. The quality of the reports went downhill and I can pinpoint which of the analysts use AI a lot, because suddenly they cannot form a coherent sentence without the help of ChatGPT. Itās getting to a point where Iām planning to put one of the analysts on PIP, because I pretty much have to rewrite their reports.
Anyway, this tool was made to dumb people down. Itās easy to rule over stupid people.
Oh dear I guess we just aren’t tech savvy enough.
Ohh, better start subsidizing use with taxpayer moneyĀ
More are using Copilot I assume considering so many companies are so deeply integrated with Microsoft already so it’s a no brainer to buy the data protection thing with them over OpenAI.
I use it a lot for work. Unit tests, boiler plate, create a class from this spec type of stuff. Saves me a lot of busy work. Also find it great for context specific questions which as it turns out I have a lot of.
Can see the usual fuck AI posts in this thread. I see these people as the same who said fuck computers when they were first released.
I haven’t used it (I’m technically not Irish but Aussie living decades in Ireland). I had a subscription to Sudowrite (which was very useful), but cancelled it when I didn’t use it as much. I bought a lifetime license outright for an AI art site and have a free subscription on another for beta testing for them. Possibly more than one, actually. It’s been a while since I used them.
I’ve been focusing more on regular content creation without AI. Writing my own books and buying professional quality markers and metallic gel pens for my art (out of Christmas money). š
One possible reason for a difference btw it’s a lot of people use it for translation or nuancing writing in other languages, but often in Europe that means English.
Generative AI and LLMs aren’t just a blip. They’re here to stay, but I wouldn’t be rushing to introduce them to classrooms, but at the same time they’re going to be used regardless. Hard banning them is completely pointless too. Learning to use them as a tool makes sense, but I’m not really sure how teachers would be equipped to do that, as few of them have the depth of knowledge about AI and it isn’t as simple a topic at people tend to think.
I see too many people who think AI is an oracle. It can be very misleading when it just pattern matches and guesses.
AI is going nowhere and can be very useful if built specifically for a certain task. It especially helps with efficiency.
ChatGPT though; the ālarge language modelsā that try and do everything, I honestly donāt think theyāll ever be more popular than they are now. Theyāre shite. Not that they canāt do incredible stuff, they can, but they can also be absolutely wrong.
The problem with ChatGPT is that its job isnāt to be right, its job is to impersonate someone that sounds right. Itās mimicking language and patterns.
Sometimes you can ask it to do something, it will be objectively wrong but itāll double down. Then if you say something like āChatGPT isnāt capable of āXā is it?ā and it will explain exactly why it canāt. Itās not capable of realtime feedback like a human is and doesnāt ālearnā from mistakes.
I use ai mostly to get gratification on my increasingly unhinged views about the world
I honestly haven’t found anything useful to do with it yet. I think it’s good for more repetitive task, such as formulas or scripting/coding, maybe?
But by the time I tell it what to write in an email or what to put into a presentation, I’ve done it myself, really.
Didn’t Sam Altman recently claim that all college graduates would be working “well paid jobs in space” in ten years?
Sounds like he’s not really planning on civilization lasting too much longer
Sounds like a positive thing to me.
What the fuck if the Taoiseach supposed to do about it? Start doing ads for ChatGPT?
Why is OpenAI talking to the Taoiseach?
I found that I hit the daily query limit or cap with free chatgpt in a way I don’t with Gemini or copilot. Which was frustrating, so I used it less.
I don’t use any of them for stuff where I can’t check the answer.
Whatever about the reliability of ai now but itās gonna get worse as people learn how to influence it by knowing how it is trained
Fewer Irish people using Cocaine than in other countries, Cartelās told Taoiseach /s
If we canāt get ahead in the inflated ego economy than what can we do
But its ok cause they’ll stick more data centers here and jack up our electric prices
Almost as if having an educated, qualified, healthily sceptical populace insulated people from trusting a bullshit generator.
I asked it to summarise a book that was about a family moving to a new house in the 1800s.
It told me one of the characters was unhappy with the WiFi connection for her playstation in her new bedroom.
I’ve never used it since.
As a scriptwriter I use it under certain circumstances. I never really used it before, but it has made things so much easier and creative for me now.
For example, if I am having trouble with a scene, I can pretty much brainstorm with AI, I can brainstorm some dialogue and see how it goes, I can brainstorm how it will transition to the next scene, I can brainstorm pretty much any scenario in the script, or use it to try and condense scenes for time management.
I won’t use it 100%, but I can take parts of it that I might like or didn’t think about, and incorporate that into my own words and style.
Before, you would try and contact and rely on people who probably wouldn’t respond on time/straight away, so whenever I hit a “writers block” now, I literally have a tool that responds in seconds to help me visualise the scenes I want to write
Interesting. Could be the case alright. Hard to say it’s good or bad. Prehapes everyone is using Gemini or gonk AI. Like me.
