The left push for non-profits began nearly 15 years ago.
AI is now another weapon added to make attacking Americans easier and cheaper.
I’m sure the GOP will get right on this....
The article tells us nothing that AI is now doing. The things it says it’s going to do sound like the normal ongoing development of new computer features.
An simple part of computer technology is controlling us already and dumbing us down. It’s the enormous amount of video available for us to view. When viewing video we’re sitting there not doing anything except possibly eating or drinking. Massive wasted hours of story time.
My solution was to build a smart scheduler. I wrote it in BASIC on a timeshare system. All of the nightmarish calculations were accomplished with just a few lines of entry on an old teletype. Everything printed on paper. Under the covers, the program was writing database schemas and populating tables. My sidekick down the hall was skilled in FOCUS databases and he provided the necessary tools to do the weekly closeout reports that had to be reported to AT&T. The process was so much more efficient that 29 managers were dropped. One manager did the work with the program. Non-management employees reported results daily at each central office. The whole process proceeded through the transition out of being a Bell Operating Company under AT&T with no hitches.
The point is that good automation improves business process and reduces costs. It does necessarily eliminate jobs. I've made a good career of doing that kind of automation and my employers have rewarded the results. The advent of AI may place the ability to do what I've been doing in the hands of lesser skilled actors. That's fine. I'm retiring this year.
I’m already pretty annoyed with the telephone AI maze I have to navigate to get to the “speak to a customer service representative” option.
The ones that really set me off are the efforts to dispense with the music while waiting by offering to inform me about all the new and exciting products and services on offer - usually with an offer for further information. When refused, the cycle starts again.
Given the above article, I’ll probably have to start asking if the customer service representative is a real person when they finally answer.
Microsoft is the AntiChrist.
Every second word of that is NLP language geared to entice and harangue managers into buying Microsoft because all the cool kids are doing it and don’t be left behind, because reasons.
Microsoft has never lived up to its hype and has caused untold human suffering.
