Who cares whether it's old or new or middle school. Who cares whether it's pattern recognition or an actual learning computer with thoughts and feelings?

It's all a corporate masterbatory fantasy of executives right now that somehow their company's OpenAI subscription is going to be the one to unlock the secrets of the universe and they can staff the company with animatrons that don't need time to shit, piss, eat, talk, sit, stand, sleep, take breaks, take vacations, learn, be trained, or have a family. They won't strike, get paid, leave the company, go home, have to drive to work, require costly office space, say no, have a need for HR, or social interaction.

So now they throw this bullshit at everything but are too stupid to realize that woopdie-do you successfully got rid of the person that spent too much time on the phone, but your product still sucks and no one who works for you cares.
