I work in the "AI Center of Excellence" as an lead engineer at a public traded company and I haven't had this experience at all. Just my anecdotal experience but this article is just the author's anecdotal experience. Are lots of people having the experience that nobody they send messages to are responding themselves, it's usually an AI crafted message at a minimum? That's brutal. --EDIT-- I should add though that I…

I've had engineers connect claude to slack and have it send my team messages about issues they're facing with our api or documentation. People are massively addicted to LLMs.

I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt here. It reminds me of the Google search phenomenon others have mentioned, which culminated in the joke website "let me google that for you." But, I don't think the cause is necessarily that people are dumb or lazy. Both are factors, but another big one is that people are overwhelmed at work. Another question coming in may not be viewed as an opportunity to learn or h…

I just keep repeating "operator" ad nauseam not stopping for anything other than the sound of the call transferring and that almost always works.

Sometimes yelling fuck shit piss bitch cunt fuck ass whore etc works. They have them setup to detect swear words to figure out when youre pissed off and need to talk to a human lmao

Xfinity/Comcast automated support has swear word detection. I eventually picked up on this after the 4th or 5th time they sent out a non-technical 'technician' in response to my concerns over SNR causing connection instability.

(Me: "here is a comprehensive analysis of modem logs over the past 7 days and clear indication of the cause"; Xfinity: "Let's turn off the wifi router for 30s! It didn't work the last 50 times but it's the only thing we can do.")

Depending on the company, you sometimes get routed to the angry people recovery section when you do this. And so then, the Comcast agent on the other end is in stern counselor mode ready to de-escalate what seems to the robot to be a fuming, angry customer and gets completely thrown off when you’re super chill with them (or at least, you hopefully are chill with them!)

This reminds me of the Jewish Sabbath. Here in Tel Aviv, Saturday means no shops, much fewer restaurants, less programming on TV, gyms/etc open late/close early. The parks and beaches are full of people just existing.

Reminds me of my friends in Gaza, where every day means no shops, no restaurants, no home, no medicine, no food, no water, no hope. The beaches are full of people just trying to exist.

Victimhood stopped being a valid excuse on the 7th.

I hope your friend over there is doing well, and hopes for peace as much as we all do over here. Maybe then we'll see an end to all this.

Just double the amount of words in the follow up. That might make people think.

I suppose the issue is that they will simply ask their LLM to summarize and to reply, so if anything, it might just normalize and justify it a bit more.

I'm honestly tired of these articles lamenting their personal grievances against AI or experiences.

AI is here to stay its permeating through all of our communication layer and this is the worst its going to be

Think about that. Anything fault you find with AI or experiences are not going to wait and sit around , its going to get better faster.

It's like shouting against the wind eventually people stop paying attention and learn to adapt as they always do with technology
