"Over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using Enterprise ChatGPT regularly (our goal is 100%), and we’re building prompt libraries and sharing everyday use cases that help us work faster, smarter, and better."

...part of a memo explaining why the company is laying of 21% of its staff.

LWN is still 100% human-written content, and we intend to stay that way. We'll see how long the world lets us do that.

@corbet 👍. Good for LWN.

As time goes on the more I think the fallout from the AI bubble popping is going to be REAL bad.

@corbet The Big Fun will be had when people can't write good texts or code without AI tooling anymore. That wouldn't be a problem if the tooling were free, just like a good editor today is. But it isn't and won't be. It'll cost money and it will be weaponized against employees. Some of us are lucky because they got here early enough so they've already climbed the career ladder. I worry about others. But hey, thinking about humans isn't en vogue. Has it ever been?

That hurts. 21% not using AI are asked to leave. The next 9% have been asked to start or they will follow, so that all who remain use it.
Fairly sure that I do not want to bother to read AI generated drivel.
