Probably older than most people here....I mean saves me time with contracts, marketing material, slide decks, illustrations, emails, fucking lots of shit. Im not a scared pussy like most people. I accept that AI is here and moving faster and that we can't do shit other that jump on the boat and keep up or become even more useless than we already are. I balance it with life, no screen addiction besides work and this stupid site, no video games or porn, I get outside and live. AI helps me do that more often because I don't have to sit behind my PC as long to rework spreadsheets, or draft new executive summaries. That kind of stuff.
I get it, for 90% of people AI is a stupid novelty. Those people either don't have the mind to leverage the tool or they don't care to try. Or, they are ignorantly stubborn against using it (as the psy op commands....ok with me, helps me and mine get ahead of those who opt out).
Sure, turning a dial to start a microwave is faster than typing a bunch of buttons, but that not relevant point to AI.
AI should never answer the phone.
You have to waste your time dancing with an AI bot to get to a person that can solve your problem. If it was a simple "turn it off and and turn it back on" solution, you wouldn't be calling in the first place. The added tech layer of AI just wastes more of your time.
AI is answering the phone. And I get some systems have been poorly configured and rendered useless...but the technology is moving forward and faster.
And it can do better than humans. Sometime callers can't even tell. Humans are largely retarded, especially receptionists. They don't get what you are asking. A well integrated AI can operate a phone and all the resources connected to it fast and effectively.
So, even if you dont prefer it, businesses don't care. You're getting it. And it's not gonna stop.
It'll stop when it hits an immovable force.
The thing to keep an eye out for ----- is this really saving me time?
... or is it complicating things, then saving time on the more complicated process, which only takes us back to original time it took in the first place.
Example: a purchase with an agricultural tax exemption number.
Small shop --- takes your exempt number (from a piece of paper), enters it in, You make purchase.
Home Depot ---- get a computer, get a phone, get an internet account with email, set up a Home Depot Depot account, set up your tax exempt number on your home depot account. You will need your phone when you make a purchase. ----- fuck that shit, this added tech needs to collapse.
Mmmmmm, tech collapse
Company saves 3 minutes of employee labor
Customer spends an extra hour completing the same job.
You don't need to sell it to me
Wish it would collapse. But it's not going to. So. When you realize it's just gonna keep going, there's no point in getting upset and falling behind
You might not see it yet ---- but Home Depot doesn't get my business anymore.
Once the collapse gets critical mass, you will see it.
This is not the first time

Ya, well. Some people believe this isn't a controlled world.
