Yeah, the joke is that every company is trying to ram LLMs and Agentic LLMs into everything without thinking about what they're trying to accomplish. Like the trend with blockchain a decade ago.

Yours is a valid use case for ai. That's why it doesn't fit the meme.

    But the meme is making the more extreme claim that no uses exist, so any counterexamples mean it's untrue. Not the best way of criticizing companies that don't know or care what a technology is good for imo.

    Only if you take it literally instead of as a joke that is exaggerating for comedic effect.

    "AI" is a general term. Tech companies use "AI" more than chatbot so people can't talk about it as easily.

    You know this and are just acting dumb to stand out with your contrarianism.

    Government defunding NIH blood cancer research while building chatbot anime-girlfriend datahouses was in fact a bad thing, stop trying to act quirky and unique.

    Thanks. That sounds more like a joke aimed at non-programmers about people who think they're programmers. If I'm willing to ignore all the valid use cases of AI, I guess it might be funny to assume that none exist.
