Humans would have said to test it first…
AI will just call you a genius for having a brilliant thought no one else could have ever thought of: fire workers and buy AI
Like, it’s fucking insane that high up people are falling for chatbots bullshit, then asking it if they should use AI more. It’s always going to say to use AI and fire humans, because the people making the chat bots want people to spend more on AI.
Out of curiosity, I asked Google Gemini if I should use AI more. It said:
The short answer is: yes, you should explore using AI more, but you should do so strategically and thoughtfully.
Which, of course, still favors using AI more without necessarily knowing much about my current use. At least this answer suggested careful and deliberate use rather than wanton.
Can’t wait for Kevin Fang’s coverage of this

The replacement was in July. The article about that replacement was a few days back.
