I’m an IT guy, I have worked in IT support since 2007. I have never ever ever needed AI for a single second in my job and seeing people use AI just annoys me.

Yes yes science and medicine people I know AI helps you.

I’m 37, I’ve been in IT support for 15-17 years. I have used AI about 6 times.

First time: I told Chat GPT to be sarcastic and snarky with me then drunkenly argued with it for 15 mins.

Second time: I got chat GPT to recommend me power metal bands based on the list of bands I told it I liked… It gave me 20+ and only two were any good.

Times three to six: using my companies forced Microsoft Copilot, It made me some ASCII pictures of ducks then refused to sing The Simpsons song where Troy McClure is in planet of the apes and I started with “I hate every ape I see from Chmpan-A to Chimpanzee” because “noo not copyrighted music” Finally it ruined a Futurama quote when I said to it “Have the boy lay out my formal shorts”.

I was told today copilot needs me to go into it’s settings and tell it what I want.

I will probably go into that next week and say “I just want to quote the Simpsons and Futurama, don’t correct my spelling or punctuation just quote it back to me”
