A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I ordered some well rated concert ear protection from the maker's website. The order waited weeks to ship after a label was printed and likely forgotten. I went to find a place to call or contact a human there, all they had was a self-described AI chat robot that just talked down to me condescendingly. It simply would not believe my experience.
I eventually got the ear protection but I won't be buying from them again. Can't even staff some folks to check email. I eventually found their PR email address but even that was outsourced to a PR firm that never got back to me. Utter shit, AI.
That's really good to know about these things. They've been on sale through Woot. I guess there's a good reason for that.
