Foisting AI on people in the way they have means we lose a bit more control, for a feature we don't want. There is a certain level of AI burnout in the market - not every product needs AI. In fact, if a vendor says they have "AI" in their product, I immediately ignore that aspect and ask even more questions about their actual capabilities. Often they are hiding things behind an AI smokescreen.

If i need to use AI I will paste text into ChatGPT.com or wherever, i dont need Word to constantly annoy me with it.

Of course this guy is “surprised”, his whole division will be shut down if this fails.

^ My meme comment for today.

Today I asked it to add a constant as an argument to every call to a specific method in a unit test. The result was pure slop: The prompts leaked out into the proposed diff, and there was just a list of every method call, not placed where the method calls were in the unit test.

Just get the darn stuff to work before you shove it into every corner of my life.
