The scenery from up above, down under, side to side all across the globe, more than 90 percent of all the job postings is full of AI jargon and requirements. It is as if more than 90 percent of the entire job seekers had even one AI class or formal education on AI technology in their entire engineering curriculum unless perhaps you belong to a few who graduated in the last five years and if that. Even that requires professors who should have had AI in their phd studies which is only narrowly possible for a very narrow number of researchers given the short history of AI.
So how is it then possible for any good match making, finding many talents on a relatively very new field. I know it, people read a medium article, a few linkedin posts at best and declare that they are the AI experts, how convenient, how shockingly brilliant!
Worse and much shameful is that most of these postings are just posting it this way simply because they need to be seemed catching the frenzy that the entire world is hyping about. In truth, they are nothing but cheap knowledge that is sufficient to get with a google search. Find an existing model that seems more or less fitting and voila add a bit of star dust and declare victory. It does not matter how accurate the results are or leave that to tweaking it by other cheap shot prompting techniques; a few days of google search and reading a few articles written by mostly learn as you go type bloggers with exceptions to a few deserved is enough of a totally bogus victory. Shamefully regrettable how we came to this brave(!) new world that praises fake-ness over novel originality that used to be only possibly through hard work.
I hate where the world is going. My mumbling is not about making life easier aspect of AI, but the notion that it looks down upon the intellectual creativity; say when AI art is taking over with its own mimicking of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, Rodin’s The Thinker, or even the Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. It is shackling our intellect, decelerating our creative power, lazying our brains; no surprise there in that we can not even do anything without constantly and aimlessly checking on our phones, just to see who posted a better picture with yet another ‘artificial’ posing -
Disgusting is what I think - Is there any hope that we could reduce overstating AI power in our lives, as we should ? I have no faith and don't put on this one either; bullshitters will keep on bullshitting just like Hegseth ;)
