Well, I once got a callback from a mobile operator support rep, and she was speaking so perfectly (tone, pauses, the way she built sentences, everything), that our conversation came out like:
We’re already at the point that many people post- millennials actively prefer AI, that preferencd increasing with younger age. They’re the new boomers consuming whatever information is placed in front of them with no corroboration, nuance or fact checking.
Well on paper using an LLM for customer support seems great. A service agent who is infinitely patient, doesn't mind overlong support sessions, who is always polite? That's sounds great. But real life isn't like that, and the people who do prefer LLMs over people haven't had the time to realize why LLMs aren't up to the task yet. But that might change in a couple years.
I dont get the tense in this post. Are they going to "become" boomers? How does one become a boomer?
“boomer” in this is just being used as slang for “old people”.
We're at the point where late teens/early adults don't have the ability to navigate a file structure and you expect them to be able to decode AI video breathing patterns.
We're beyond super fucked.
Good news! Society will collapse from anthropogenic climate disintegration and a host of other resource related bottlenecks coming to a head in the next 50 years. In all likelihood, AI won't last for too much longer and you won't need to worry about people using it to cheat, because well all be dead. :)
Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳
Windows? I was crazy once.
Don't worry, I haven't had to use Windows or MacOS since the early 2010s.
What's it supposed to do?
Summarize and find stuff, iirc
If they could sort photos, filter blurred, audio, video skimming capabilites in general, would be nice.
Documents surely useful for someone out there
some of them don't even know how to use a mouse and keyboard. it's beyond beyond super fucked
Calling it now, mouse and keyboard is going to be our cursive writing.
nah, it's going to be the opposite.
if other computer technology has been anything to go off of then only those who lived through is adaption and watched it progress will know how to spot it. those who grow up with hard to spot ai will just accept that they can't see it and think we're weird for trying so hard to prove things are ai. they'll also think we're weird for caring.
our boomer trait will be doing art instead of asking ai to generate images and video, or wanting things made by people when the ai generated thing is "good enough".
we'll be getting eyerolls for gifting a nice art set or a camera to our niblings. we'll embarrass our grandkids when we get upset at the ai point of sale system that mcdonalds starts using. "back in my day they had big touch screens where you could manually select your toppings on the burger, now you just yell into a box and MAYBE gets it right"
actually, if social media tech is anything to go on we won't even have that much control. your order will be algorithm based. chosen for you based on your recent ad footprint. the ai obviously knows what you want better than you do. the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same, but we're going to hate it. the corps will push it anyway because it's so massively profitable with the demographics that like it and every restaurant will be owned by like 2 companies. they'll just force it on everyone else. we'll bitch about it, but most people will still keep going.
edit: had more thoughts on this in the shower.
we'll get to the point where we barely even have to pick a place to eat. there will be 2 apps. one owned by disneycokemcdonsldsalibaba, one owned by pepsifoxraytheonamazon. we will all be either a coke person or a Pepsi person and will likely just follow whichever brand our parents did. they'll be inherently political and each have a sponsored candidate in every election. it will define the entire world you live in. when it's time to eat you get a notification and the app orders you your meal.
it'll start as a service for when you can't decide what to eat then after it gets a critical mass of users it will start to enshitify into forcing what you eat before selling to the disney megacorp who will then push it into everything they own.
this is only for the rich people that these brands cater towards of course. we who would have once been creatives will be working manual labor at the camps for the underemployed. afterall, we're better off with the structure. it helps us be productive towards society. it's what's best for us....
Well, that's a horrifying dystopia, well done.
"the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same" is the bit that sold it for me. It's entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.
I only got through the first sentence.
You're right.
Have you ever seen Gen Z navigate anything technical? No, you haven't. They don't know how.
All dey no is how to eat hot chip and lie
Hey, some of us are competent.
I would say about the same share as previous generations. Old farts just just like to complain.
edit: its like they forget what its like to be young
Nah, creating art is like making pottery.
We have 100% automated making clay pots. We have entire factories making billions of pots in all shapes and sizes every day. So much so that nobody ever will need to make a pot by hand.
Yet people still do so. Because just like other art, making pots is fun and makes us human. We will never stop. It can be the year 5000 and you can bet we will still be making pots and art.
i hate this why did you say this
same reason harlan ellison wrote i have no mouth and i must scream i suppose...
To be fair on the burger point, plenty would claim right now we shout at minimum wage workers our order who MAYBE get it right
we shout at minimum wage workers
Speak for yourself
'Tis the difficulty of language, the intention was to refer to as the societal "we", of which I play no part.
Fuck people who shout at people trying to provide them a service.
the robots won't be equipped to fix it. there will be no one left to tell they got it wrong.
Very funny, unique, and well written little scifi prompt, but clearly we're nowhere near that level of technology. AI sucks and it's only getting worse at the moment.
How is AI getting worse?
Maybe some LLM models are getting worse, but we keep finding new ways to train models even more efficiently.
A year ago running a local LLM would have been a fairy tale, now we have things like Deepseek and AnythingLLM
It has never produced viable product and after sampling its own piss the new iterations are actually less and less accurate.
i have excellent news for you! we're approaching what will probably be called the Third AI winter, which refers to periods when ai funding dries up after people realize the limitations of the current generation. the last two were around 1975 and 2000. if you expect to live 30 more years then you will probably see the Fourth AI Spring!
but to be clear, the height of AI technology by the end of the last AI winter in 2000 was, like, voice transcription software, and at the end of the first one in 1975 all they had was perceptrons (basic handwriting recognition)
That's a very interesting take
Thank God! Too dystopian for me
You should read the Murderbot Diaries. If you find this funny and unique, you will like Murderbot.
