"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I work for a supermarket that's recently rolled out AI chatbots to "help" customers find items in store instead of asking staff. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The idea being it reduces the number of staff needed to run the store because now we can restock shelves uninterrupted.

Of course, that's not what's happening. Instead of being asked where our canned mushrooms are, we're now being asked where aisle 31 is, and we're having to take extra time to find out what their actual question is.

Because there are only 14 aisles in the store.

Oh, and I actually like being asked where stuff is, because it breaks up the monotony of bringing out rollcomp, rotating, stocking, facing up, putting back rollcomp, repeat until lunch.

The thing I'm not allowed to say instore: You probably don't want an air fryer. You probably want a convection oven. The technology is exactly the same but a convection oven is larger, giving you more versatility. (edit: Of the products that we sell,) The gold standard is a combi oven. Get some half-decent microwave-safe cookware such as Pyrex, no need to splash out on the premium brands.

Sure, but by the time my convection oven get to temperature I'm already serving at the table with my air fryer.
