@rateexportpilot @tinker @remenca @nyrath Yea, I wouldn't say it's AI *as a tech*... just what uses of it are being promoted by corpos.
I definitely wouldn't mind a robot maid to do chores for me while I write. Or even a text-editing AI to fix some of the jank in my writing (I'm ESL) or catch logical errors. But I have little use for *generating* content.
Alas, generating things wholesale is easier to sell, so corpos mainly promote that. That's the real waste.
@rateexportpilot @tinker @remenca @nyrath I did see some people railing against automation in general in the wake of the AI craze. And I facepalmed so hard that I felt I almost got a concussion.
