On a less complainy note: I have successfully taught my cat to sit up on her hind legs for treats!
We need pictures of this.
My workplace is pushing AI really hard. One of the managers told the team I'm in to "use this particular tool, treat it like a personal assistant that's good at multitasking!"
Well. I tried to have the tool do a straightforward task, and it failed spectacularly. It failed like someone using weaponized incompetence to ensure that they would never again be asked to do this task: it technically completed it, but so badly I had to spend twice as much time cleaning up and redoing the task properly as it would have taken to just do it myself.
Anyway, I'm not trying to make a point, just venting about something a lot of us will find relatable.
