Fuck this shit. Just this week I had a conversation with one of the clients and he asked me to dump the research my team had prepared into Claude so that it would be more "approachable".
The catch is that the research we've made is consumer analytics report based on datasets - it's basically a lot of pictures explaining the cost of living crisis and how products navigate in this environment - and that's the most approachable state it can be without looking like black magic.
But nah - lets have Claude verbalize it and make a couple of dozen mistakes in the process that will eat up another day or two to fix because homie can't stand pictures and it would be cooler if AI does it.
Just turn it in again and say AI summarized it
I actually tried using both ChatGPT and Claude for that and the document made both of them literally cry and give up. ChatGPT pretty much said "nah, man, i'm good" and peaced out straight away. Homie didn't even tried and I'm loving it. Claude started the transcription and two charts in told me that this fucking consumer data shit is too dense and gave up mid number 3. In the end - I just showed the results and the client gave up on AI summary too.
Humans:"They're gonna replace us."
AI:"Glue on pizza."
at least glue on pizza is some silly shit. when your "trusty" AI assistant starts saying some silly shit like "you don't need in-app chat function because it is not cost-efficient, use Viber instead" when it's a finance app - and the client insists that it's a good idea even though it is just not - that's all you need to know about AI capabilities.
Yeah, I hate em clankers. No, wait, actually, I hate the users. Some of them. The moronic ones.
these are the worst but the case studies are fun to compile. every time you think "well, that's gotta be it - the peak of human stupidity" - you get another thing coming
