    Absolute BS, my experience is people are using this "intelligence" to do more dumb shit. I'm not seeing intelligence, I'm seeing unqualified people wielding power tools but they don't know any basic carpentry skills.

      Spot on. We are automating what has never needed to be done anyway, bullshit jobs or mostly bullshit. Helpdesk, client hotline, analytics dashboards, reports ? What if we tried to make things work on first time and always so that there is no need for a helpdesk. If you produce something of clear value you don't need analytic dashboards or reports. I do not know if AI is the end of capitalism and bureaucracy or the final nail in the coffin for them to eat the world.
