Ive been calling this the reverse turing test:
Can you tell that a known human being is not an 'AI' chatbot, based on text correspondence?
Apparently we are now just going to have AI simulacra of ourselves date each other on dating apps and meet with each other on zoom.
The meeting thing in particular is so fucking insane.
Problem: Meetings waste time and accomplish nothing!
Solution: Don't hire or train competent people, instead, automate meetings, the transcripts of which will presumably still have to be read, and will likely not make any sense, thus necessitating more meetings.
The goal of technological civilization apparently truly is to create maximum misery via maximizing meetings.
Wait, has somebody actually suggested automating meetings? Like, has somebody said that out loud without a hint of irony or sarcasm?
Hold on , I'll edit this when I find a link.
Edit:
Ok, so here is OpenAI wanting to make... well basically it seems to want to have not only an AI agent in a text support chatbox telling you how to fix a problem...
...but give it the ability to completely take over your computer and just do it for you, presumably via Remote Assistance and whatever the Mac equivalent is.

No way this could go wrong and lead to fake support sites just fucking writing a batch file and executing it in the blink of an eye.
Then we've got both Zoom and Otter who yes, straight up, want to build AI powered avatars, based on each employee/user and replace the human entirely in meetings.

Fuck the infinite paper clip making machine, we are intentionally trying to make the infinite meeting machine.
One tech CEO has drain bamage, I take it. To paraphrase Charles Babbage, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.
Like, what the fuck is the point of this? If you think meetings are a problem and AI is the solution, there are a countably infinite amount of ideas you could come up with that aren't this idiotic
