Or read disclosure for my members so I don’t have to. But that it fucking things are fucking incompetent. Work insurance people will get line pissed that got me instead of banking. They will say I told the AI I needed to order checks. Yet it sends them to insurance division instead of banking.

Sucks because most customers hate AI answering the phone I especially hate it. It fucking dumb and I just want to talk to person.

But even job hunting had two prospective jobs tried to use AI to conduct the interview. They fucking outsourcing that. I refused both interviews.

I just want to talk to person.

Careful what you are wishing for, person may be on other side of the world answering your call at 4am local time with most polite scripts which you could have read for yourself on website.

I don’t know how people do that job, I did it for week and couldn’t stand it.

Talking to braindead drones suck, but at least someone is being employed. I’m dropping a doctor because their AI answering machine won’t let me talk to a human.

What drives me up a fucking wall these days is how people will use AI to make a more “professional” message, then due to it’s verbosity it needs an AI to summarize on the receiving end.

My attitude is if you put no effort into creating something then I will put no effort into consuming it.

My AI will talk to your AI.

Yet when I tell that to our marketing department they just complain about how it would be expensive to pay someone to do it themselves. You get what you pay for, except in this instance where ai is expensive and still bad.

I can tell when people use AI because it doesn’t sound professional. It’s not direct enough. It doesn’t get to the point and uses a lot of filler.

It sounds like how students think professional sounds.

Well, also some executives that I can’t stand that, if I didn’t know better, would swear were ChatGPT for decades…

That’s also some of us before our stimulant medication kicks in. I swear to fuck, if I get called AI one more time…

Especially since when you ask it those questions, it’s still massively limited.

I once tried Apple’s replacement AI Siri thing, and asked it what the date would be next Tuesday. I got “I can’t help with that”.

Regular old Siri handled that just fine.

Even then, neither worked with “When’s the last occurrence of this event on my calendar?”. They’d either go “I’m sorry, I don’t understand”, or happily tell me when the next event was.

Neither of them seem like very difficult questions.

compared to many LLMs, I’d prefer an application default to “I don’t know / can’t do that” than the absurdly frequent lying that’s prevalent.

so people were asking for linux for decades

find "$path" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -e "$what_to_look_for" /dev/null

Though with the ability to not even have to think about synonyms and indirect references or foreign language or potentially if someone sent you a damn screenshot of a terminal output instead of the text…

Yeah that, but with natural language input and output. To me the (mostly) natural language is the most impressive part of generative AI.
