My grandpa was doing just fine before those newfangled chariots became all the rage. What's wrong with walking?

I, for one, have never needed AI for anything ever in my life.

AI has, however, made my life noticably worse. Especially when dealing with braindead robot driven customer "support". But also in making it financially impossible to buy more RAM or upgrade a GPU.

I think we'd be better off without yet another bubble.

Were you born yesterday? Phone AIs being dumb didn't take LLMs at all. They were always stupid and frustrating to deal with substitutes for customer support.

Except now they also pretend to respond to email. Basically email support became /dev/null with cream and icing on top.
