The "Is AI alive" conversation is 100% this, too. If you can be conned by a chatbot, I fear for your general safety. You are the guy at the stripclub who think the dancers really like you.
We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Whenever someone says 'agents make me more productive' I quickly realize that I'm talking to someone who aspires to be middle management, in charge of a bunch of Digital Jenny McCarthys, and I feel like their soul must have left their body years ago and left behind an empty, joyless void.
can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist
also it can’t help when this is your user base

This person hasn’t been so lucky, so their cat needs all the funds they can get for this life saving surgery. Please donate if you can, shares are also very appreciated
