    Whatever. I just used a.i. to write my performance evaluation at work. I fed it a bunch of garbled, incoherent nonsense and made me sound productive AF.

    That was to be expected. It’s not the answer to everything and has inherent limitations that can’t be solved quickly by throwing money at it.

    The problem is that so much money is tied up in this. It has been pushing up the stock market. People have been fired because AI was going to take over the job. The fallout from that is going to be painful. Dot com crash like, maybe subprime mortgage crash painful.

      Yep. And folks on the news are gonna be all confused how this could happen.

      They laid off their talent to bet on bullshit. That’s how it happened.

    What’s disturbing to me is this:

    Coworker: There’s a study in Denmark where they were able to train ten penguins to do clerical work. Three of them make as few errors as humans.

    Upper Manager Excellent. Lay off the entire office staff and find us four-hundred penguins.
