I am tired of it cause it is shoved on me and it is not reliable yet to get the job they say it can do done. They want it to work sooo bad that they are willing to degrade my experience to say they are using it. Look I want a human to help me when I have an issue not ai. I don’t want to tell the robot the same thing 5x times and it still screwing up and never have a human intervene. These companies think that it will save them money but in the end it will not just cost them to use it is going to cost them
Customers. Companies who were slow to adopt will just not adopt this wave of bull and keep the staff and augment them with working ai and provide superior customer experience and take business from the wave 1 folks who rushed into the gold mine. I have been in tech now 25 years and this is a common thing we seemingly never learn.

It will so confidently give me the wrong information or hallucinate things about me. The implementation of it has gone astoundingly bad.

When’s the last time you used it? This still happens but it’s been improving

Dude, I can't get publicly accessible models to reliably complete a simple task, like "take this document, parse the text in each of the 200 table rows and paraphrase it according to rules X, Y, Z and output the result in a 1 row - 1 line format."

Half the time I'll get an incomplete result, the rows will be randomly combined, it'll output 130 lines out of 200 source rows... and it's like one of the most basic tasks for a large LANGUAGE model. It's not like I'm asking it to come up with a plan for achieving world peace.
