My understanding is most of you are anti AI? My only question is....why? It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely anti "AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap". If that's what being Anti AI is.....to that I say Amen.

But simply not liking a privacy conscious experience or utilization of AI at all? I'm not getting it?

That is a very nice way to say you don't want to pay someone to do work for you.

AI greatly benefits business owners by replacing workers.

You are the future and Lemmy hates that.

    To be fair, due to rate compression, I can't afford to pay for someone to do this work. So no one was getting hired. The question is whether or not I could complete the work. I do pay several people to work for me - none of which can do the work I've assigned to my AI agents. But I for sure wouldn't hire someone who is so resistant to change that they can't even handle AI summarizing my emails for me.

    That's a common pattern. Countless tasks don't get done because we don't have enough employees, nor the money to hire more. The current employees take care of all the crucial tasks that are basic necessities for the company to survive. The "nice to have" task list is very long, so if AI can take make some crucial tasks easier or faster, that only means that those employees can spend some of their time doing some of the "nice to have" tasks. In cases like these, AI is not taking any jobs from anyone. If your company has no entries in the "nice to have" task list, it means management has zero vision and zero chance of making the company survive the next recession.

    100%. My nice to have task list is mile long. And I want to get to it because they will make a real, meaningful differences for my team and clients. So, while there are real challenges with AI, the potential to help me, my business and my team is there.
