The only time I’m ever tempted to use a LLM is, “rewrite this email using my language and message to appease a narcissist audience” istg I’d fast for the water usage, if the politics weren’t there.

These are the real garbage tasks we want to outsource to robots, not art, programming, or analysis.

Dealing with Karens

@hacks4pancakes I like Corey Quinns idea of tuning the AI for awfulness as an autoreply to cold callers for that.
@davedave @hacks4pancakes
Cold callers do not need (or deserve) any AI countermeasures. A set of simple voice prompts (recorded in 2009) and a no-choice dialplan in Asterisk will put 'Lenny' to work until the caller hangs up. I have posted about this before:

Do you hate telemarketing cold calls? Do you run #Asterisk ? Put those pesky callers through to Lenny!

@hacks4pancakes
Not always a good idea.

We have a bot on our customer website that deals with these enquiries.

It usually gives technically inaccurate instructions that can be very dangerous and makes promises to customers that can’t be fulfilled.

But still more accurate than the average Salesman.

The difference is that a salesman can tell a Karen to fuck-off.
