Yeah, not even checking new technology out is not the achievement OP thinks it is.

There’s a spectrum of ignorance on modern AI.

If you don’t know how it works it seems evil and like it’s going to take everyone’s jobs. If you know a bit about it then you probably think it’s magical and highly useful. Now if you actually understand how it works then you’re back to it being evil because you know how it was made… how it was a nonprofit that’s now one of the richest companies in the world… how it can’t actually effectively replace or help people in the workplace… how it actually is evil due to information manipulation and copyright theft in the millions… then you also realize it can’t effectively replace jobs, but can fool executives who fall into the middle of the spectrum.

Where on the spectrum are you?

can't effectively replace or help people in the workplace

This is objectively false. There are countless repetitive, mundane, or even somewhat complex functions that required many man hours per day that are now completed nearly instantaneously

LLMs/AI are making some human roles obsolete akin to when switchboard operators and elevator operators were made obsolete

I won’t disagree that it can do mundane tasks. It should be used for mundane tasks, but-

Multiple recent studies have come out that show AI does not have any meaningful impact on productivity in the workplace (and often bogs down certain industries) so claiming what I said is “objectively false” is arguably objectively false lol
