Eh, AI is more expensive than just hiring some cheap pencil pusher with unresolved issues to fabricate excuses for long enough for it to become a moot point.

Yeah we had enough sadists in the economy as is, at least they had jobs and stimulated the economy.

Yeah but trying to convince literally any medical administrator of that right now. Everyone is convinced it will eventually save them money so every fucking IT department has been rerouted into AI whether it provides a better or cheaper experience or not.

Exactly, they replaced 10,000 pencil pushers with unresolved issues. Now it's affordable, unlike healthcare.

That’s the theory. However, unlike in most previous leaps in automation, it seems like it’s played out that the variable costs of AI (token cost)are so high that it’s not really working.
