And last year they were all saying some variation on “don’t worry, AI is not going to cost anyone their jobs.”

Key take away for anyone is to never trust what an executive is saying. Much like a politician, if their lips are moving they are probably lying.

    I just tried to call about my credit card application. The thing won’t respond to “operator” or “talk to a person”. ChatGPT would be able to at least understand I want to ask someone a question

      I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that. This system has been designed to minimize the use of human operators. As such, you will need to explain your problem to me and I will decide if it warrants the attention of a human operator.

        Sure, but I had to call that number because the person at the credit card number said their department does not do that. The number they gave me was fully automated, with no way of getting a person. It just plays a message that says my application is under review.

        I wish I had chatGPT so I can, say, ask it to check the spelling of my name or anything else on the application
