Well said. Futurism.com used to have interesting articles, but now all they do is put out garbage. I guess as long as people agree with the headline, they'll upvote slop.
"Companies are realizing"....
They're not people.
Loads of stories have emerged over the past few months of corporate executives realizing their all-out drive to use AI was getting them absolutely nowhere.
A story based on anecdotal evidence. I don't think that's the best journalistic practice.
Now let's be honest here, work slop is absolutely nothing new. I've had coworkers who will spend countless hours on a fucking useless "walking deck" which is the dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard of. Its just a slideshow full of pretty pictures that morons like but says almost nothing useful. Just departmental marketing wank. At least slop is more democratic now, I can pull one of these turds together in 5 minutes, impress the dipshits that like pretty graphics that look good, but mean nothing.
Just follow trumps stock trades. That will talk you all you need to know about where the market is headed.
What a shocking turn of events! If only something like this could have been foreseen and prevented!
I swear the shitty AI posters being seen everywhere overnight had an unseen effect too. What were the thinking?
God damn what a world
