If you’re talking about the automated phone thing, they’ve been trying to do that since the 90s. In the past the secret “get me a human” trick was to keep mashing zero till you got a human. Today, you can just keep saying “human” or “I need to speak to a human”.
You’re assuming AI will successfully replace enough jobs to have a social impact. You’re buying into the hype. I can’t think of a single job it can replace.
I think your job might be safe. AI has been doing speech to text for over a quarter century. It’s been bundled with Windows since XP. And nobody uses it because it has all the same problems that modern AI has.
What job were you doing that AI can do it?
AI is just a suped up MENACE matchbox computer, a superpowerful autocomplete. If that’s your job title, you’re boned.
AI is fascism? This Butlerian Jihad is going to result in the A* algorithm and single-player games being outlawed.
What movie is this meme from?
How do we enforce such an idea? I don’t know, maybe, we can create some kind of “parental control” software, and if parents don’t use it, then we can pass something called “child neglect” laws and punish them with that?
Can’t New Orleans do what the Netherlands did?
I’m getting old. Nobody knows what a ragamuffin is. Little Orphan Annie, the Little Rascals, and such are raggamuffins.
Like a trillion MENACE matchbox computer matchboxes.
What are the ads like there? TV Tropes insists I turn off my ad block, which is usually a bad sign.
Also, looking at IMBD, it’s weird they ask “Are you a new customer?” Customer? What the hell are they selling? Info that can be found more easily on Wikipedia and a jillion other websites?
It’s crap like this that’s the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.
You’ve just said what I’ve been thinking all these years. Except the video. I think that might be why people praised it. They knew he didn’t have long to live and the video is pretty heartbreaking when you think he might have chose the song because he was bitter about losing everything he ever worked for.
IMHO, the cover sucked but I do think it was from the heart.
AI isn’t magic. It’s been my experience trying to seriously work with it that I realize that it would be easier just to do it myself in Photoshop.
Edit:
Actually, now it’s Krita. I’m moving away from PS.
Mine aren’t saying anything about it at all.
This is weird ass article. It’s like the author has never used an Internet forum before and didn’t understand how the Internet works.
Don’t stop at the Fediverse. Keep going. You’ve only just begun.
I used to make websites back in the 2000s. Hit trackers collected this info back then too. Knowing screen resolutions is useful for designing the website. Knowing all this info in general is helpful. If 99% of your visitors are coming from the US with a screen resolution of 1080p and are using Firefox, you know not to worry too much about making the site compatible with Netscape Navigator, 640x480 monitors, and translating everything to French.
I am surprised by this site knowing my graphics card. I don’t know why modern web developers would need to know that. I’ve been out of the game so long. Perhaps it’s useful info.
Edit:
I’m also always surprised/saddened that today nobody on the Internet seems to know anything at all about making websites. This kind of thing was common knowledge back in the 2000s.
It’s been around for half a century and nobody knows about it. It’s like a world wonder, a modern Library of Alexandria.
I’m sorry if you lost your job, but if you actually helped improve talking to these damn things then I thank you for your service.
