Even at an extraordinarily smart event as #FOSSBackstage , people keep asking "Yeah but couldn't we do this [task that requires care, understanding and commitment] with generative AI?" and I am f*ing sick of it. If the task could not have been automated before the advent of "AI", then it should not be automated now. Just be a decent person put in the human work already! 😡
Let's leave meatspace and check out cyberspace!
