I've found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

Your last line pretty much sums up my feelings entirely.

That thought process would say patent law was incorrect though right? If you break something down to parts and say, well all those parts exist on their own, you just reordered them so you never created anything new. A fun case people refer to was against Ford I believe, when they tried to steal the intermittent windshield wiper idea from someone by claiming that resistors already existed, it was just placed elsewhere, so he couldn't claim it as a new invention. Ford lost and had to pay to use the idea.

I see it as the same premise. All programming and language breaks down to words that already exist, so either rearranging them and using them in a new manner is a new work, or none of it is. Thereby saying all books, music, and code wouldn't be able to have copyrights or patents. Which I believe that would cause a bit of chaos.
