I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?
I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.
It’s done a lot of bad/annoying things but I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t enabled me to completely sidestep the enshittification of Google. You have to be smart about how you use it but at least you don’t have to wade through all the SEO slop to find what you want.
And it’s good for weird/niche questions. I used it the other day to find a list of meme songs that have very few/simple instruments so that I could find midi files for them that would translate well when going through Rust’s in-game instruments. I seriously doubt I’d find a list like that on Google, even without the enshittification.
