To which ChatGPT could respond with: 1. titles of tickets moved within the past 24 hours 2. title of ticket in progress 3. No blockers right now

Not gonna lie, hooking up ChatGPT to Jira so I can query it via Slack or voice recognition would rule. It would certainly be quicker than the slow Jira UI.

All these hundreds-of-GB-memory, several-seconds-to-cold-load Bugzilla knock-offs should provide a second, read-only interface that's just HTML. It'd make them almost tolerable.

I'm less worried about stuff like ChatGPT killing things off, but more about just making everything noticeably a bit worse. To take an analogy: bad voice recognition software abounds everywhere, not because it is better than what it replaced in terms of UX, but because it works just enough and allows massive cost-savings on hiring people to do customer service jobs. A world where most marketing copy is written by med…

Huh, that hasn't been my experience, at least not yet. Are you talking about newer movies and shows?

Mostly videos I stream online. YouTube is a good example, but I've noticed an uptick in bad subtitles on other streaming platforms that stream content with higher production values.

I agree with the article but maybe you are trying to do the wrong thing with ChatGPT. I am not a native English speaker (as many of you already noticed due to my grammar mistakes), so ChatGPT have been very useful to rewrite my texts, fix grammar and maybe "beautify" them a bit. It's has been an invaluable tool in that sense. I feel much more confident now sending emails and writing important messages knowing that th…

Wow, that is a significant improvement. I’m a native English speaker and I may start using ChatGPT for this purpose too.

I seem to remember a book where people starting using AI's like this to automatically improve their email/texts, eventually allowing it to do more (basic responses/appointment scheduling/etc), making communication a lot easier and more efficient.

At some point, the boundary between simply "polishing things up" and actively guiding the interactions became blurry, and the AI eventually becomes the go between between everyone and starts taking over.

We know this response has not been "enhanced" by the AI if my second and third sentences have not been filtered out.

Most of it is an improvement, but the change in the first sentence could really change the meaning in a way that may or may not be appropriate. That change is ambiguous but could be important. Proofreading shouldn't change the meaning or intention of a passage.

Maybe that was the intent (of the AI) :-)

I remember a while ago American shows and movies joked about Indian customer support, as they "lower the standard of customer service". Now here the same to AI "lower the standard of subtitle". The quality is not appreciated which is why the offering are lower the bar for quality constantly. Or they'll be out competed.

As a native (American) English speaker, the original paragraph looks fine to me except for “IA”.

This one really puzzles me. Voice recognition replaced phone trees. And from what I can tell, it's just worse. In this particular use case I don't think it really replaced tier 1 support. Eithe…

I just keep pressing 0 until a live person answers.

You should automate that.
