No you rude fuck. If i ask a simple question about a subject, let's say foraging as a I do that a lot. And it's wrong, it's friggin wrong. I'll ask about a specific plant. Full disclosure this is one of my things. 40 years at it. Ok? No big stretch to think I know a thing or two. So I ask about let's say, Japanese barberry. An invasive plant that is hated by many and rightly so at times. The question is , is it edible? The answer given was no. The truth is the opposite. It is edible. Hell there's recipes online for barberry jam. Now don't go just eating them though. Smart to test one or two leaves to see if an individual is allergic. That's not part of the answer, that's foraging 101. But I digress. The a.i was wrong and then argued about it until I pulled up all of the evidence. The a.i then admitted it was wrong, but who cares? It's not alive. Winning an argument with a.i is like beating oneself at poker. Another example I'll ask about intervals in music ( guitar teacher as my main profession now, as my passion for 48 years). It got the major scale intervals wrong. I asked ask if yogurt can replace eggs as a binding agent to one of them (can't remember which, apologies ) and it said no. That's a friggin home ec tip that's been around for at least a century People who give dissertations don't brag about it. Especially to make a point in a thread. It only makes one seem like a person who isn't confident in what they're saying so they drop a line that they feel will impress others. It doesn't Others experience is as important, vital and real as yours, regarding the answers given by a.i , but you'll brush it off because you feel that some how you have more insight than others. You dont. You just have more time to pour through a.i's mistakes to massage it to getting something close to what you want. That shows an abundance of time available. Which means you aren't doing the things I'm talking about. Or it means this is something you do for your job and it works for those specific needs . Which is fine, but your needs are not the world's. My need have been poorly met by that tool you spouse. Much like a rake won't help a guy digging a hole, a.i is the wrong tool for most jobs. Which means your opinion of my evaluation of a. I results is skewed because you don't value others experience, no matter how intelligent you are. And that is a sign of ignorance. I wish you a good day

It really depends on the company. Some look for any way to squeeze you. Others are pretty decent and probably more efficient as they dont waste as many working hours on bullshit claims and claim resolution. Also if i rent a car i want things to go smoothly. I got places to be. You make my life easy, ill happily pay again and do my best to make yours easy too.

I don't believe the idea of aggregating information is bad, moreso the ability to properly vet your sources yourself. I don't know what sources an AI chatbot could be pulling from. It could be a lot of sources, or it could be one source. Does it know which sources are reliable? Not really. AI has been infamous for hallucinating even with simple prompts. Being able to independently check where your info comes from is an important part of stopping the spread of misinfo. AI can't do that, and, in it's current state, I wouldn't want it to try. Convenience is a rat race of cutting corners. What is convenient isn't always what is best in the long run.

I know there decent alternatives to SalesForce, but I’m not sure what you’d replace Slack with. Teams is far worse in every conceivable way and I’m not sure if there’s anything else out there that isn’t already speeding down the enshittification highway.

I want to read his "Meaning of the City" because I just like City theory, but I keep postponing in case it's just Christian morality lessons. The anarchist Christian angle makes this sound more interesting.
