Something I’ve learned in the corporate world is biz bros HAAATE when their industry is subject to “commoditization.” That’s their buzz for ‘waahhhh, our competitors are competing / any differentiation or advantage we had is gone, so we can’t overcharge anymore’
ANYWAY. All of this #AIshit? It’s already mostly commoditized. Some outliers, sure. But that’s got to mean we’re in a bubble, right?
Totally bizarre how "I used AI" in every context except at work results in [deserved] scorn.
But talk about outsourcing your expertise to a stupid machine to the bosses at work and it's met with applause... From the leaders. Peers know better and are deeply skeptic.
I expect zero sympathy from this crowd. Maybe some gentle ha-ha Nelson Muntz pointing. Buuuuut…
In a rush I asked AI which fuel ratio my 5-year old weedeater would take. It asked for model (who knows that?!) but I knew the brand. It confidently said 50:1, so that’s what I went with.
SO, GUESS WHAT? Mine wants 40:1.
There is a site I will link to to in a reply. It housed a beautiful trove of boiler plate disclaimers and notices. You know the stuff: See site for details, void where prohibited, etc.
I’ve used the site for actual decades. Never remember the URL, nor bothered to bookmark it. All I had to do was “google” (or more recently “duck duck go”) some of the language and it’d be at the top of the list.
Nowadays, not only is it NOT at the top of the list, every search engine’s stupid AI tries to mansplain the disclaimers.
