    They always seem to have bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch. One would have thought that’d be a step in the process but apparently not.

    It can summarise your text messages!
    Oh, yes, because that’s an insurmountable amount of text to read, please hold my hand through this difficult time.

      My favorite is this combo of AI “benefits”:

      1. Create fully-written emails from a few simple bullet points!
      2. Summarize long emails into simple bullet points!

      I recently saw an AI summary appear on a YouTube video. “This is a video about a man sitting in a room talking about technical stuff.” Yeah, no shit, I knew that by seeing the thumbnail. A small list of the point he was making was too much for an AI. Useless toys.

      AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.

      And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.

      Nobody goes beyond that. It’s always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It’s always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter’s budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!

      Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it’s still useless?
