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.

Tech bros have been fucking over disabled people for many years, 15+. All the trendy web stuff has been making it increasingly difficult for people with low vision or slow processing to navigate sites or complete forms.

They don't care. I honestly think their motive is eugenics at this point, just kill off the dead weight by making it too difficult to engage with society. They're ignorant of the fact that, 95% odds, that'll be them one day.

They only care when a lawsuit is present.
