A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I don't work in IT, but I work in a specialty retail setting where I do technical support for materials. Last week I was helping an annoying repeat customer and as I was helping him load his material into his brand new Tesla, he decided he needed to tell me all about its full self driving, and how on his 3hr drive the other day he used chat GPT to write a white paper about some bullshit while the car drove itself, then he had to get chat GPT to give me a summary of the white paper. (some scammy sounding marketing BS.)
It took every ounce of professionalism I had left to just give him the "uh huh, thats cool. yep. good for you." instead of going on an angry anti musk/tesla/AI rant.
i feel like there will be a moment of realisation for this person where people around them understand they are not adding any value, and therefore completely replacable. ... maybe...
I doubt it tbh
