I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

    I tried really hard not to engage with this obvious bait but I guess you really want it.

    If you require AI to be amused while high then congratulations you’re the most disgruntled creature on the face of this earth. Too bad you’re still paying for a business sampling works without permission or accrediting authors.

    Shit counterpoint by a shit person.

      First of all, most AI tools have some free tier. I doubt the other commenter paid a penny.

      Also, just because they did it, it doesn’t mean they “required” it… I’ve laughed at cat videos before, that doesn’t mean that I require cat videos to be amused.

        Whether or not there is a free tier the business profits from its use and you’re a part of that.

          It kind of depends on your perspective, I wouldn’t say they profit from it monetarily - they definitely make a significant loss in raw $ from free users, but there is some amount of beneficial optics for the company, if people use it for fun/harmless activity.

          I think we both want the same thing. I don’t want to tone police you or any of that shit, and I believe you’re totally justified in how you feel about AI, but I really do hope you have a read of my comments from the perspective of someone who agrees with you rather than someone who is trying to pick a fight with you.
