Let us also not forget that AI does not work. They made internal promises to themselves about how it was going to radically transform everything, within the next couple of quarters it seems, and when those "promises" did not materialize... the workers are the ones holding the bag (not "blamed", yet jobless all the same). So much irony at every single level. Like AI really will transform everything, but dayum give it a second will you?
In short: everything is performing fully normally, more's the pity:-(.
Only someone who has never touched one would claim AI literally doesn't work. So I have to assume that's just for the sake of hyperbole because Lemmy hates AI. You probably just mean it doesn't live up to the marketing hype? Okay, thats... That's just how marketing works.
But, like, not yet? When will you declare it useful so I can go back to using AI in my daily life?
