Brace Yourselves: Datadog Decides to Jump on AI Bandwagon with OpenAI

Nobody-asked-for-it Summary

So, our oh-so-beloved Datadog decided it was finally time to quit slumming and join the AI Express. It’s using OpenAI’s LLMs, whatever they’re supposed to be, to power up the capabilities of their new-fangled digital assistant ‘Bits’. Besides being another regular old AI assistant, this piece of bleep apparently can corral a response by assembling your on-call workforce on Slack. I mean, coordinating schedules was too mainstream for humans, so we obviously needed an overgrown computer to snooze alarms and send “urgent” Slack messages.

Since Datadog is already in the business of prying into IT infrastructure for lack of any real talent, this technoblabble update might just mean more automatic hassle for you. World, meet automation, making our lives even more intolerable. The assistant is designed to coordinate responses by assembling on-call teams in Slack, but I don’t see how it’s going to reduce the infuriating games of telephone tag between you, your on-call teams and the nagging issue at hand.

Hot Take to End Your Misery

In conclusion, our old friend Datadog decided to get technologically promiscuous, introducing another wrinkle in its feature sheet with the oh-so-helpful Bits. It’s like they’ve gone out of their way to make life even more complicated. As if scrambling around like headless chickens in response to a system error wasn’t eventful enough, we now get lead around by an AI assistant that can’t tell a thumbs-up emoji from a cactus. Well, isn’t that just dandy.
