Seems like proof of concept, where they’d want. A cluster of these on a block to add green to horizon. Not sure how well they’d grow, particularly on the lower floors, if neighboring buildings are blocking sunlight. And add grow lamps would be a huge energy hog.

Much of which can be used in hospitals for life saving medical uses! Double dunk on AI failures.

Hey if you think I’m an AI, can I interest you in a subscription plan to read barely filtered bullshit for the low low price one 9.95 USD a month?

I just have a background in USAF and had to sanitize a lot of emails to tell an E-7 or O-3 to politely fuck off because their orders and directives clashed with standing orders from an O-7 or above. Always a fun time when the first shirt pulls you into his office unofficially to compliment how well you phrased it but also veil threats about the extra duty I’d be pulling if I indirectly told him to pound sand between the lines again.

As for the whole LLM thing… To be fair reddit was a massive free info source most LLMs used to develop their database to make their bots and communicate like humans and not a command prompt.

Given the info in your original post and that, I’d wager one of three scenarios.

A) Most Likely: Your supervisor is just using an AI chatbot to handle day to day stuff and possibly checking in on you and others every so often to ensure work is being done and things aren’t being derailed. Could only speculate why they would do this, either being lazy or having a lot of other tasks so automating where they can lets them spend more time on more important things, to them at least.

B) Less likely: Your supervisor is just a very eccentric and formulaic person who functions on a near identical schedule as your own in terms of sleep and activity, possibly being made supervisor of the team because of their talent and HR/Management wanting them to train up more so they don’t everything and thus become irreplaceable should they take a vacation or otherwise unable to work more. Plausible in a tech/developer field though extremely unlikely, as this kind of person is exactly who’d I’d expect to setup an AI client to interact with their team and save them time.

C) Unlikely but possible: Your supervisor is entirely an AI. Financially doesn’t make sense to have multiple person team being overseen by a bot that could possibly complete all the work on it’s own and would only need someone to monitor it’s output for consistency and function. Hiring multiple people to take orders from a chatbot seems a hilarious waste of resources if your field is not entirely testing products someone else created.

Have you ever seen him talk?
