Are people really using AI just to write a slack message??
Also, Priya is in the same "world" as everyone else. They have the context that the new person is 3 weeks in and must probably need some help because they're new, are actually reaching out, and impressions matter, even if they said "not urgent". "Not urgent" seldom is taken at face value. It doesn't necessarily mean it's urgent, but it means "I need help, but I'm being polite".
They use it for emails, so why not use it for Slack messages as well?
Call me old fashioned, but I'm still sending DMs and emails using my brain.
People are pretending AIs are their boyfriends & girlfriends. Slack messages are the least bizarre use case.
Not that far off from all the tech CEOs who have projected they're one step away from giving us Star Trek TNG, they just need all the money and privilege with no accountability to make it happen
DevOps engineers who acted like the memes changed everything! The cloud will save us!
Until recently the US was quite religious; 80%+ around 2000 down to 60%s now. Longtermism dogma of one kind or another rules those brains; endless growth in economics, longtermism. Those ideal are baked into biochemical loops regardless of the semantics the body may express them in.
Unfortunately for all the disciples time is not linear. No center to the universe means no single epoch to measure from. Humans have different birthdays and are influenced by information along different timelines.
A whole lot of brains are struggling with the realization they were bought into a meme and physics never really cared about their goals. The next generation isn't going to just pick up the meme-baton validate the elders dogma.
The next generation is steeped in the elder's propaganda since birth, through YouTube and TikTok. There's only the small in–between generation who grew up learning computers that hadn't been enshittified yet.
That's self selecting gibberish.
Computing has nothing to do with the machine.
The first application of the term "computer" was humans doing math with an abacus and slide ruler.
Turing machines and bits are not the only viable model. That little in-between generation only knows a tiny bit about "computing" using machines IBM and Apple, Intel, etc, propagandized them into buying. All computing must fit our model machine!
Different semantics but same idea as my point about DevOps.

Everyone wants star trek, but we're all gunna get star wars lol.
