Not afraid of using and learning with AI in a job posting!
Hey Creators,
Happy Sunday!
I was looking at the board where I get some of my contract assignments...not AI...but regular professional work, and I usually see in the job posting that you agree NOT TO USE AI on the job for any of the work! Obviously these are anti-AI companies. The thing is that they really can't control this because you do not have to use their laptop to use AI when it's on our phones and we all have our own computers but still they try it because they haven't gotten with the AI program yet.
BUT I understand where they are coming from. Some people are applying for jobs and getting them who really donot have the expertise they said they had and hope that AI is going to fill in the blanks. Nope! AI will not completely fill in the blanks if you don't have the foundation! AI is a helpmate NOT a 100% do it FOR YOU mate if you don't have enough expertise to know if what the AI is recommending or putting together is right or not..if that makes sense.
AI is a shortcut and time saver to do things faster but if you don't know it in the first place you are not going to be able to do a great job or answer any questions that will come up if you solely rely on the AI which can't be relied on 100% as of yet even with less hallucinations.
So, I just found it refreshing that this particular role was encouraging AI use. Did I apply for it? Nope...because of exactly what I just said... I do not have any expertise in what the role was and even if I could convince someone to hire me I wouldn't be successful in that role because I would have to rely 100% on AI and that's just not going to work. Plus, it wasn't even paying anywhere near my fee.
So, I say all this to say, Yes! Use AI to improve what you already know and do but don't use it if you have no knowledge at all about what you are using it for because then you won't be able to know what's good or what's bad or doesn't work.
BUT you can practice on building up new expertise using AI and then when you feel comfortable in your skills, go for the new work. But do it before you get the job not once you get it or you are setting yourself up for failure and ruining your professional reputation AND giving AI a bad name at the same time. How is it giving AI a bad name? Because once they figure out you know nothing and it's all AI they will blame anyone using AI and put them in the same bucket assuming anyone who uses AI doesn't know the role or doesn't have the expertise. I actually know this for a fact because one time when I was interviewing with the recruiter for a role and they saw AI on my resume they said, Oh don't tell them you use AI because another person was using AI and didn't know what they were doing and it made the company not trust AI. Some one bad apple ruins the whole bunch. Obviously, that was a person in over their head thinking AI can do the all when they knew nothing and couldn't tell the difference, got caught, and made it bad for anyone using AI to do things quicker, not 100%. But I ended up landing that contract and of course I used AI to do somethings faster but I just didn't tell them. They didn't ask, so I didn't tell.
