It's a tool that almost no one knows how to use correctly. It gets shoved into real-life applications it has no business being apart of. I get that it has its use-cases but unless you've been hiding under a rock, it's very easy to see why people hate AI.
Then tell me why I can't talk to a human being when I call/chat with customer service anymore.
They can deal with having no job instead as the cost of living constantly explodes with no end in sight
That’s how I use ai too, not for a replacement for humans but something to waste time with, I don’t use ai to make images but I use it to chat, I still do my own independent research so overall I really don’t use AI that much
because the idiots in charge would rather save a few pennies and lose the customers who buy and use their services and then charge the remaining ones more money for the product.
OMG! I had almost forgetten about the NFT fiasco, an idea so utterly horrible that it was mocked by Ed, Edd and Eddy (whom, should be noted, were the masters of silly scams)... like fifteen years earlier.
I'm aware of all that but it still flies in the face of your comment. AI doesn't need to be competent to replace humans. It just needs to exist because the people you just mentioned don't care about minimizing the harm this technology can cause. Really disingenuous to go into a vent post about how much it sucks and post something so detached from reality.
that wasn't my intention. you asked why you can't talk to a human at customer service when you call. the machine is supposed to transfer you over to one if it can't help you after so many tries. if it doesn't, then it is poorly programmed.
The reason this doesn't work is that all the companies will make the jump at the same time. More often than not we only have the illusion of choice. There might be two or three big political parties where you are, but on several key issues they will all end up doing the same thing every time, no matter what they say. Business works the same way. They'll all agree, explicitly or tacitly, to fuck you in the same way, and then what?
Unfortunately, "voting with your wallet" has had a long, bloody history of failing miserably -- from the boycots to products of a certain origin to just not buying from shitty retailers.
This could very well happen again. The US Government of Defense recently made a deal with OpenAI. We're more than cooked. https://openai.com/global-affairs/introducing-openai-for-government/
Wait, this used to be a “joke”?
then we do what Senator Armstrong said, "Tear it out by the roots, Burn IT ALL DOWN!" and then start over again.
most people don't care. nearly everyone is perfectly fine with not disturbing the order of things as long as they are left alone. it's only when they are affected that they begin to care, and by then, it's too late.
Do you want Skynet? This is how you get Skynet.
There is no human to transfer me to. They are gone. Companies are completely removing their customer service departments because they know they can do so without consequence. I don't think you realize how widespread this is.
what company are you calling where it is fully automatic? every place of business that i call still has at least one human on standby.
The truthiest of nukes. My biggest problem is that it looks too clean, it’s uncanny.I don't know how you all feel about AI but it's really starting to get on my nerves. You almost only see AI-manipulated videos on YouTube, I really don't understand what many people have with it and what they actually want with itI think AI simply takes the soul away from many videos. Whether it's movies or games, everything is now being reworked with AI it really drives you crazy

My ISP, certain government offices (customer service is probably not the right term for this but I'm not sure what it), and a random assortment of companies that provide my hygiene products, tech purchases (except Newegg, they're still good about reaching the vendor) and billing departments.
