I wonder if web searches used to be pretty productive, then declined as sponsored results and SEO degraded things.

Nowadays an ai assist with a web search usually eliminates the search altogether and gives you a clear answer right away.

for example, "how much does a ford f-150 cost" will give you something ballpark in a second, compared to annoying "research" to find the answer shrouded in corporate obfuscation.

gtowey•1h ago
I was just thinking exactly the same. Basic web search has become so horrible that AI is being used as its replacement.

I found it a sad condemnation of how far the tech industry has fallen into enshittification and is failing to provide tools that are actually useful.

gh0stcat•49m ago
We always had the technology to do things better, it's the money making part that has made things worse technologically speaking. In this same way, I don't see how AI will resolve the problem - our productivity was never the goal, and that won't change any time soon.
johnnyanmac•23m ago
And it'll happen again when AI models start resorting to ads once again.
emptybits•4m ago
Yup. Any LLM recommendation for a product or service should be viewed with suspicion (no different than web search results or commission-based humans). Sponsored placements. Affiliate links. Etc.

When asking an LLM for a comparison matrix or pros and cons between choices ... beware paid placements or sponsors.

AI is beneficial, has no negative effects and must be pushed forward at all costs! The world pre-2020 was a dark, poor dystopia as opposed to the flourishing economy in the EU post 2022.

FWIW, these studies are too early. Large orgs have very sensitive data privacy considerations and they're only right now going through the evaluation cycles.

Case in point, this past week, I learned Deloitte only recently gave the approval in picking Gemini as their AI platform. Rollout hasn't even begun yet which you can imagine is going to take a while.

To say "AI is failing to deliver" because only 4% efficiency increase is a pre-mature conclusion.

Yes I was recently talking to a person who was working as a BA who specializes in corporate AI adoption- they didn’t realize you could post screenshots to ChatGPT

These are not the openclaw folks

amarant•31m ago
What does it even mean to specialise in something and know so little about it? What exactly is this BA person doing?

Genuinely confused, I don't get it

shermantanktop•22m ago
The “corporate” in “corporate AI” can mean tons of work building metrics decks, collecting pain points from users, negotiating with vendors…none of which requires you to understand the actual tool capabilities. For a big company with enough of a push behind it, that’s probably a whole team, none of whom know what they are actually promoting very well.

It’s good money if you can live with yourself, and a mortgage and tuitions make it easy to ignore what you are becoming. I lived that for a few years and then jumped off that train.

Sounds like a perfect job for AI!
gwern•44m ago
I'm not sure this is even measuring LLMs in the first place! They say the definition is "big data analytics and AI".

Is putting Google Analytics onto your website and pulling a report 'big data analytics'...?

PeterStuer•8m ago
Meanwhile, "shadow" AI use is around 90%. And if you guess IT would lead the pack on that, you are wrong. It's actually sales and hr that are the most avid unsactioned AI tool users.
yoyohello13•3m ago
Exactly, my company started carefully dipping their toes in to AI mid last year. There is so much compliance and data privacy considerations involved.

And for the record I think they are absolutely right to be cautious, a mistake in my industry can be disastrous so a considered approach to integrating this stuff is absolutely warranted. Most established companies outside of tech really can’t have the “move fast break things” mindset.

8cvor6j844qw_d6•23m ago
Its depressing when people are hearing managers are openly asking all employees to pitch in ideals for AI in order to reduce employee headcount.

For those hearing this at work, better prepare an exit plan.
