My general dislike of AI writing has had a positive impact on how I read and listen to texts and scripts.

If I'm listening to a nature video, for example, and a sentence is empty of meaning or just illogical I turn that video off and avoid whoever made it.

Some of the things I've rejected probably weren't made by AI, but I don't see that as a bad thing.

My main issue with AI texts is I just find them kind of patronizing? You want me to sit and nicely listen but you can't be bothered to write?

I had to talk with a chat from Optimum Online about my internet recently. I think they are using AI, but mixed with a real customer service rep in some bizarre way. Every message is so wordy positive and sycophantic. "Of course I can help you do that right away!" (can you? can you really?)

But, eventually someone made some real changes to my account that I'd HOPE they wouldn't leave to an AI. There were long gaps between each response and I still had to wait 15 to talk to "someone"

@futurebird Kind of hilarious to think about those long pauses being someone having to read the output of this great, amazing, communicative machine that will replace labor, because it cannot be trusted. 😂
