I got a response out of someone like this recently who just wouldn’t shut the fuck up about AI when I called it the Lying Machine. Well he’d like me to know that it pulled up pricing for some antique bullshit he was selling and gave him prices of an auto part he needed from local suppliers.
It’s always so strange how they will brag about it saving them a few minutes of mental labour. Like, if I had to figure out the price of an auto part it would be a couple of minutes of me checking and comparing prices and then I’d get to learn a little bit about auto part pricing and probably a little more about how they work and why they’re needed. But these people seem to loathe that idea, any sort of mental effort on their part whatsoever even for something really minor just seems to make them extremely hostile.
Yeah the autopart in particular made me laugh because it wasn’t something that couldn’t have been accomplished with several minutes on the phone. And from the time I worked retail I do not trust online inventory even if it says there’s a few in stock and would rather check with an actual person that whatever I need is on the shelf
