AI is a controversial topic.

In this story, an employee works tirelessly to build a system… only for Chat GPT to overturn it in one day.

Let’s see if things end up AI-OK…

Chatgpt determines our alerting policy? Sure!

Me: a SysAdmin.

Thanks for the ID. What’s your story?

Spend 6 months making a finely tuned alerting system that tells us when anything critical to our company’s operations goes down.

Lotta hard work. Surely it merits respect.

Corpo: Asks ChatGPT what our alerting policies should be and directly dumps it to us as directives to follow.

Nope. What will OP do?

Me: Of course! Let me just turn it back to the way it was!

Cue *turning on absolutely every alert in the system as instructed.*

This can’t go well.

We had > 175 completely useless alerts within 8 hours.

Corpo (surprisingly) decided it wasn’t actually good to spam their employees at all hours of the night for unimportant servers that don’t make us money.

Wow at least they admitted the mistake.

And rolled back the policy the next day.

At least the robots haven’t taken ALL the jobs yet.

What do the comments say?

This person says, technology changes, idiots don’t.

Someone else suggests this is “inconceivable!”

Another user thinks Chat GPT is just a people pleaser.

Someone else says Chat GPT is primarily good for… nothing.

This poster is like, AI is dumb but people are dumber?

Alert! Chat GPT is not great at everything.
