I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

    If you specifically mean LLM/GenAI:

    • Some of my friends enjoy fucking around with those character AIs. I never got the appeal, even as an RP nerd, RPing is a social activity to me, and computers aren’t people
    • I have seen funny memes be made with Image Generators – And tbqh as long as you’re not pretending that being an AI prompter makes you an “artist”, by all means go crazy with generating AI images for your furry porn/DnD campaign/whatever
    • https://goblin.tools/ is a cool little thing for people as intensely autistic as I am, and it runs off AI stuff.
    • Voice Recognition/Dictation technology powered by AI is a lot better than its pre-AI sibling. I’ve been giving it a shot lately. It helps my arthritis-ridden hands.

    If you mean anything that utilizes machine learning (“AI” is a buzzword), then “AI” technology has been used to help scientists and doctors do their jobs better since the mid 90s
