A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ok, so heres how this works.
Step 1: Apparently you have never worked anywhere near 'customer service' in a tech related way.
Step 2: You are vastly, vastly overestimating the intelligence of the average user/person.
Sorry, most people are just fucking idiots who act far more competent, in general, at any/everything, than they actually are.
That's it, there are no more steps.
Your baseline for 'average person' is actually more like top ~25 to ~10 % of people.
The average adult American reads at a 5th-6th grade level.
That is your actual average, the intelligence of an 11 year old.
The average adult American is your 10 y.o. nephew, just bigger, and more cocky.
