I know you’ve got the most downvoted comment here, but I actually agree with you completely.
Using AI to replace genuine creative work is depressing.
In my experience, the latest AI tools (and agents) are more than capable of cutting corporate corners and generating the kind of bullshit busywork that defines so many “bullshit jobs.”
It feels like the perfect use case for AI given the system so many of us are stuck in. Be smart and use AI to get some of your time back at the expense of your employers.
Lemmy is full of militantly anti-AI folks who would rather die on a hill penniless, than use a flawed technology against oppressing influences, in their own favor. Despite the impending bubble pop, the tech isn't going anywhere, may as well learn how to leverage and exploit it in the workplace.
