It's happening in college students, too. We're seeing students asking for paper'n'pencil work again.

If AI worked, we would have had self driving cars by now.

I can’t think of anything good that we have today cause of AI that we didn’t have 5 years ago.

Even from source documents fed to notebooklm, it has been confidently giving me wrong advice back to back. These non deterministic tools can be useful but can also be dangerous for our work.

I'm so tired of every job posting frothing at the mouth over AI. "We're ai native" , "we want employees who are excited about ai tools", "agenic workflows"

Just fuck off.

Even if all of this stuff was a real productivity increase, who is keeping that extra production? Not the workers!

We're ai native

I always interpret it as "ai naive"

They always want you to be excited about things that don't benefit you in any way.

Because they’re blatantly using it to try and enslave us?

Like, not even metaphorically.

Yeah, there seems to be a campaign to deflect blame from Trump onto AI. I can't imagine it working, though. What average voter will connect rising prices to some new gizmo on the phone?
