If you’re talking about the automated phone thing, they’ve been trying to do that since the 90s. In the past the secret “get me a human” trick was to keep mashing zero till you got a human. Today, you can just keep saying “human” or “I need to speak to a human”.


You’re assuming AI will successfully replace enough jobs to have a social impact. You’re buying into the hype. I can’t think of a single job it can replace.


I think your job might be safe. AI has been doing speech to text for over a quarter century. It’s been bundled with Windows since XP. And nobody uses it because it has all the same problems that modern AI has.


What job were you doing that AI can do it?


AI is just a suped up MENACE matchbox computer, a superpowerful autocomplete. If that’s your job title, you’re boned.


AI is fascism? This Butlerian Jihad is going to result in the A* algorithm and single-player games being outlawed.
What movie is this meme from?


How do we enforce such an idea? I don’t know, maybe, we can create some kind of “parental control” software, and if parents don’t use it, then we can pass something called “child neglect” laws and punish them with that?


Can’t New Orleans do what the Netherlands did?
I’m getting old. Nobody knows what a ragamuffin is. Little Orphan Annie, the Little Rascals, and such are raggamuffins.
Today we see it that way but in the 70s and 80s, the 1950s Thing was hailed as a classic prestige science fiction film. That’s why Carpenter’s version was trashed at the time. It was dismissed as a grotesque barf bag SFX spectacle that completely disregarded what made the original so good.
Like a trillion MENACE matchbox computer matchboxes.


I’m not sticking my head out the window right now. It’s covered with termites.


It’s crap like this that’s the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.
AI isn’t magic. It’s been my experience trying to seriously work with it that I realize that it would be easier just to do it myself in Photoshop.
Edit:
Actually, now it’s Krita. I’m moving away from PS.


Mine aren’t saying anything about it at all.
If they had parents like that “no stress” wouldn’t be on that list.


This is weird ass article. It’s like the author has never used an Internet forum before and didn’t understand how the Internet works.
Don’t stop at the Fediverse. Keep going. You’ve only just begun.
I remember in the early 2000s when I got Internet at home, one of my relatives kept telling me about forums and how great they were. And my thought was “Why would would I want to know what the average dumb fuck thinks about things?” I might have forgotten this wisdom.
