To be sick of the sight of AI

It's everywhere. Mindless dipsticks asking it to create cartoon versions of themselves based on information it has about them.
Businesses losing the ability to think for themselves when it comes to creating content and so outsourcing their brains to AI.
(Started actively unfollowing any doing that)
Also started liking posts from businesses more that obviously don't use that crap as is evident from the amount of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. At least it shows they're human!
Rahh. Hate AI.

I actually saw something on the BBC website about influencers choosing not to use it because it undermines their credibility with their followers, which is a good sign.

If you watch videos on YouTube, interviews with people who are supposedly involved you quickly realise they are fantasists. All this 'in two years' AI will do everything whilst completely ignoring the amount of infrastructure that would need to be built even if AI was capable of 'doing everything' which it's a long way from being able to.
It takes something like ten years to build a nuclear power station. So that's one thing... but I really don't think they live in the real world these people, they've grown up working in these tech companies where they have the best of everything, but out in the real world we can't get our bloody printer to talk to our PCs.
It's a bit of a joke really. Unfortunately so much money has been thrown at this that it has to be 'shown to be saving money', so redundancies have to be made to justify the costs.
