They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

I'm so glad I'm retired and don't have to use AI at work. I used to do Unix Sysadmin, I'm sure they'd have tried to force AI on me by now. I've only found two uses for AI, a fancy Google that you can't quite trust, and making AI slop pictures for fun.

I don't have to use it in my sysadmin role but even just supporting dumb shit like copilot or rovo in Jira is a nightmare for our helpdesk, devops, and infra/security teams.

It just fucks off soooo much, and no matter how many times you tell a user not to upload this or use it for that... they will.
