It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it's bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren't even tools. They're just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

Fair criticism, because it is "good enough" and it saved me so much time because I only needed detailed information on a few of the documents. But that is the point, it takes a repetitive bulk niche task and lets YOU quickly and simply create an automation that meets your needs.

Another example I have been using is having an AI read a resume, and do an ATS review based on a job posting. Then it generates a fit report, and makes suggestions on how the resume can be adjusted to better get past the ATS to an actual person. This is very useful in getting call backs for job applications. That has a real value.

    How do you know it hasnt missed or misinterpreted key information from some of the documents you might have needed? The AI won't complete the same task the same way on every iteration so the automation is only verifiable if you check every time.

    Did you get any of the jobs?

    Put in an application yesterday, got a call back today. Rest is up to me.

    No i dont know if it missed something, but im not relying on the Exe summery for perfect detail, im using it to know which document is which and then using the index to go to points in the PDF.
