That Apple commercial where the song says "I'm genius" sounds like "I'm jealous" in the one where the Mom didn't get her husband anything for his B-day and she's jealous of the daughters getting him gifts so she uses AI to create a photo collage. So sad.

Their ai replies "let's circle back to that"

More than AI being the problem I believe this is a corporate culture problem Long emails to pretend hard work, because if the company thinks you aren’t giving 100 then you are ripping them off so that’s how you get this nonsense

And each time both do anything it takes 16oz of water to cool a computer bank in a data center.

It's funny as heck at times how much the world is changing.

The best part is that the bullet point is completely different.

My new department head (IT department for a school system) stated in his introductory meeting that he knows just enough about computers/networks to be dangerous. He also proudly bragged that he writes everything with ChatGPT. I just make sure I get my pay twice a month.

It's these kinds of post that make you wish you could response with the cry laugh emoji and not just the like/heart.

Idk how many times I had to do this bullshit manually. If I were still doing battalion update slides this would be amazing.

They call it the reverse 7zip

This is literally the Microsoft Copilot pitch. Boost your efficiency by never having to read or write your emails again.

The Age of the Great Pretenders

AI is so good sometimes I love being lazy

AI will eventually change us from writing all the endless email fluff. Just bullet points, no BS, what a time that will be to be alive!

Conversation = defeated

So können wir den digitalen Schnickschnack vielleicht wieder abschütteln. Wenn's wichtig ist, wird wieder angerufen oder Brief geschrieben

It's like we're minimizing the need for humans to exist just in time for our probable extinction due to all the things we've done to the planet and each other. It may be the final step in our evolution.

They call it 'productivity' and believe they are getting so much more work done. Incredible.

When I was in college, that was called cheating. Why strain your brain when Hal can write papers for you. You can get your degree without actually learning your subject. Gives you more time for Cheetos, Mountain Dew, and computer games

I read this as AI can take a simple message encrypt & decrypt it 😑

I think this cartoon points out what I’ve been worried about for a while. Generative AI has become a sort of ‘tax’ on our economy. Everyone must pay in or lose out, but the net benefit is still far less than the cost.

I miss the ‘70s. Wasn’t alive for it, but still

Computers have sped scientific knowledge exponentially. Imaging scans, even of the living human brain, are only possible because of computers. The human brain is a vast frontier we've only begun to explore. By the time we figure it out, computers will have already taken over.

Just like in the game of telephone, I would be surprised if it gave you the same bullet point that you started with.

The person on the right has voluntarily given up their ability to know whether the email is human-written or AI-written (if they could even tell, which it's fairly likely they couldn't). For them, the benefit of the summarization tool outweighs the risk of losing nuance. What's the dilemma?

but since you're pretending you're fired.

Rehash of what office work has always felt like 🤷‍♂️

AI blows. We have an 'AI' at work transcribing voicemails. Or rather, voicefails. I post the fails on my manager website for laughs.

This is like how some organizations continue to insist that faxing still exists, when it's email on both ends.

Funny how the folk who told me as I kid I won’t have a calculator on me always are nearly reliant on AI these days

I have an old-style answering machine on my landline to screen calls. ~90% of the time, there's no message, or a recording. As there are lots of robodialers, it may be that most of the time my phone is in use, a computer has called my computer and they decide not to talk to each other.

Fab! Thanks for sharing!

Let's make... language arts and business writing courses great again?! Come on folk. There's no easy path to this human experience. Star trek isn't reality, we won't make that kind of reality, Especially, if we're constantly looking for easy way out of hard brain work.

Can it also fix topposted garbage?

It’s almost like it’s not Artificial Intelligence at all and instead machine learning on a massive scale guardrailed by code and queries. ✨

No no, he's got a point. I hate the AI commercials where incompetence is covered up by AI. This is what will end up happening.
