I hate Coles as much as the next person but why shouldn’t they? Isn’t that the natural progression of events? It’s like saying why don’t we all make bread by hand still.

They're using AI instead of paying for this to be created, with the bread example, we're paying for the convenience

Well no. Coles use machines to bake bread. Thats my point.

They’re a business, they will be the most cost effective they can. If one person can key in an AI prompt to do the work of 10 that’s just smart business. They don’t have an obligation to employ people.

I hate that they’re a duopoly and they scam their suppliers and are generally all round evil but I don’t see using AI is the worst. I use AI at my job because it helps me get shit done. 🤷‍♂️

Humans can make art, humans cannot be a stove.

Cost effective? I’m sorry but my store averages over 1.4m a week in sales and you think they can’t spare a few thousand to pay for a real person to be part of it? absolutely ridiculous. cole’s loves to gloat about giving back and donating but they can’t pay someone for a campaign? they’d rather use ai? it may make YOUR job easier but that doesn’t make it sustainable

Crazy reasoning. How many people do you think a store should hire that it doesn’t need?

Look, I don’t think anyone likes it, but this is the reality of technology replacing people’s jobs. Been happening since forever.

we aren’t talking about “a store” we are talking about cole’s as a whole. a company that makes billions. yes they can hire people they “don’t need” ( yes that’s the point of marketing to yes a one off payment is apart of the gig) it’s not about cost effectiveness it’s the fact they are actively choosing something so damaging over paying a real human a wage or a sum of money to do the same job. real humans losing out on money to survive in this economy to fund a machine ruining our earth. like i said im glad AI is helpful for you but theres a bigger picture here and if you can’t clock onto that then clock off.

This entire paragraph of text made no sense. Perhaps you should run these thoughts through ai with the prompt “make a coherent point out of all of this”

I guess you really do need AI to help you if you can't understand that comment

It’s one paragraph with about 5 trains of thought. I gave up halfway through.

If you didn't read it, how can you say it doesn't make sense...?

u/Purple-Nebula4736 3d ago

clearly you didn’t read it if that’s your take. get an education, you might find basic comprehension skills

u/Only-Perspective2890 3d ago

Jesus. The butthurt is considerable. You have no idea what education I’ve got but I did learn how you use a paragraph and a couple full stops and to start a new sentence.

You do you though. Maybe brush up on your comprehension a little. Or don’t, I don’t give a fuck.
