Wrong answer. If you don’t give them access, the alternative (ruling out not using AI because leadership will never go for that) is to hire high school kids to take a task from a manager, ask the ai to do it, then do what the AI says repeatedly to iterate to the solution. The problem with that alt is that it is no better than giving the ai access, and it leaves you with no senior tech people. Instead, you give it access, but only give senior tech people access to the AI. Ones who would know to tell the AI to have a backup of the database, one designed to not let you delete it without multiple people signing off.
Senior tech people aren’t going to spend thier time trying things an AI needs tried to find the solution. So if you don’t give it access, they won’t use it, and eventually they will all be gone. Then you are even further up shit creek than you are now.
The answer overall, is smarter people talking to the AI, and guardrails to stop a single point of failure. The later is nothing new.
Good luck with that. Most search engines use AI now. Not only where you see it, but in finding the content to make it searchable. AI is here to stay. There are things it is good at, and things it isn’t. Learn what they are, and use it where it makes sense. Or stuck your head in the sand and see how that works put.
You said the answer is no AI.
And I want AI to do the non-thinking mundane crap while I do the thinking and directing. I don’t need to spend time wrestling with an sql query to produce a report the boss “wants”. I can tell AI to do that if it has the access it needs. Eventually the boss can tell AI to do it him/herself, so I can solve the real problems.
Someone created that database. And all those other parts of the infra you use. AI is pretty good for that. But you have it turn on deletion protection, and set up a system that requires another person to approve turning it off. Or you can give it access at creation time, but remember to turn that access off when it is finished being verified.
I didn’t say that you “needed” it. I said it was good for that. It’s a simple task that is easily verifiable and unlikely to go astray due to hallucinations.
Stop giving chat bots tools with this kind of access.
No risk, no reward. People are desperate for these tools to help them success.
We’ve always been succeeding even without them. I don’t see why would anyone try to work in aiT if they don’t… Want to work lol
Why invent anything new, then?

The answer is no AI. It’s really simple. The costs for ai are not worth the output.

That doesn’t answer that statement at all. I said it’s not worth the output.
Fuck ai. I don’t want a computer to think for me. I want to be pointed to resources I can use, to learn something.

Nah. As a tech people, I am not going to give an llm write access to anything in production, period

Wat. Since when do I need AI to setup infrastructure?

Unlikely, sure lol. Once again: I am not giving an llm write acess to prod
What are you even talking about?
