Artificial Intelligence - Where do YOU stand?
-
I wanted to take a moment to discuss the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing role in system administration. AI has made remarkable strides in recent years, revolutionizing various industries, and system administration is no exception, including technicians leveraging the likes of ChatGPT to create (or peer-check) scripts and offer assistance with security questions or configurations. In system administration, AI is being utilized to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and improve overall performance.
One significant application of AI in system administration is the automation of routine tasks. Repetitive and time-consuming activities like system monitoring, data analysis, and troubleshooting can now be handled by intelligent algorithms, allowing administrators to focus on more strategic and complex aspects of their roles.
Moreover, AI-powered analytics tools enable administrators to gain deeper insights from vast amounts of system data. Machine learning algorithms can sift through immense data sets to identify trends, anomalies, and potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach helps ensure better system performance, increased uptime, and enhanced security.
Now, I would love to hear from you! Do you have any concerns about the increasing integration of AI in system administration? Are you currently using AI technologies in your workplace? If so, how has it impacted your day-to-day operations?
Let's kick-start a lively discussion and exchange thoughts, experiences, and opinions on this exciting topic, making sure that we please respect each and everyone's opinions on the topic.

We are using ChatGPT very little where I work, we use it a little to help write some scripts, but overall, the CEO has banned its use. And rightfully so given its security risks and the fact that what it writes isn't always accurate.
In fact, one of our customers had ChatGPT write an SQL script that ended up completely breaking their ERP system and it took our dev team 3 hours to sort out what it had done and reverse the scripts mess ups.

We’re similar, at present ChatGPT is very minimally used at work. We’re also investigating implications with using it in legal (especially given recent issues with it being incorrect and causing a company to be sued for damages).
My boss very much likes the premise of ChatGPT and is considered a private instance in Azure for it though.We do use it a little bit to sanity check scripts and generate small snippets but it is made VERY clear that you need to understand wtf it’s telling you / giving you. Because otherwise as you say it might cause issues that you then spend the rest of the day fixing.
