I am glad I don't have any friends.

I've actually seen some of my friends.

When Willie starts spelling words correctly, we have to start getting worried he's been replaced by AI.

Spelling wasn't around when Willie started watching Marquette basketball and the mascot was just a sound

It will be a time to celebrate, not worry, if that happens.

They've shared it in the group text and bemoaned Marquette not being in Mequon

TLDR: Comp Sci grads are doomed.

To replace programmers with AI, and users would have to accurately describe what they want.
Programmers are safe.

Oh some certainly are.  Most will not be.

I think his post was sarcasm

[tower912]

ChatGPT doesn't recognize sarcasm.

[Hards Alumni]

I think his post was sarcasm

hmmmm I don't think it was.

[Shaka Shart]

Grok was that sarcasm?

This could be in the Investing thread, too:

One reason stocks of major consulting firms such as Accenture (ACN) have been falling like a rock is that investors are concerned these companies' services could be pretty easily replaced by AI in the not-too-distant future.

ACN leaders counter that they will be using AI to make their products better for corporations. But as budgets get squeezed, and as AI gets better and more efficient, consulting firms could be the proverbial low-hanging fruit to discard or at least trim significantly.

[Jockey]

hmmmm I don't think it was.

I think he was making fun of users or if not, then ChatGPT was.

This.
Kind of like that Bible verse about sowing and reaping.
That was a project manager. My favorite question to ask users was " What is the business purpose of this request?". Typically the answer was because we've always done it that way.

I'm sure a few others here would agree, but working at a Fortune 100 company and seeing the blind loyalty some have to consulting firms, thats an industry that could use some contraction.

That being said, I think much of the support budget will get trimmed, not so much the services.  And to be honest, that's not a bad thing.  Its insanely bloated.

My sister's ex-BF (who I have no ill will towards, I promise I'm not biased  ) works for BCG.  He's a nice enough guy in his late 20s, but not an exceptional resume, isn't a post-MBA associate hire, and was working at a random crypto start up before BCG.  Made a connection at his gym and got an interview/job with BCG on one of their support teams.  Despite not being a front-line pure client facing consultant, he's still traveling most weeks.  And its always first class on Delta, they usually stay at a Ritz or a W/Westin if there is no Ritz, nice dinners.  Its complete excessive budget bloat.

Grok has been woke lately and got suspended for saying Israel is committing a Genocide.

Pay consulting to tell you to make a decision you have already made but will be unpopular. Get Golden Parachuted. Go work for consulting for the clients/industry that you just came from. Get hired back into industry due to these connections. hire consulting firm.

Rinse repeat

Yes consulting firms should use AI to aid them.  You still need junior staff to eventually hand the reigns to though.  People want to hire people with experience.  If AI does all the low hanging fruit, who will get experience for future generations to run the company?
