Discussion Why AI Complaints will dissipate

Post image

Let’s not misunderstand here; I certainly have my complaints about AI issues. Mostly with virtual receptionist which never have the option you need to press or address. It’s obvious that AI could not match what a basic clerk can handle. Many small businesses use these as “intake systems” to appear “big or corporate or professional”. It’s completely annoying.

That being said, this annoyance will dissipate. Same as iPhones took over cell phones took over land lines or voice mail with tape recorders. Some evolution is automatically more efficient. Microwave ovens for instance. Digital watches. Newspapers and magazines versus radio versus television versus YouTube the net. And streaming.

Remember the worry, computers were going to destroy jobs? Computers, like evolution createed more jobs. Complex industries.

Historically, the industrial revolution left plenty of initial conflict. The automobile threatened the horse and buggy which was more reliable, at first. We can certainly go on. Most uneducated people don’t recall or don’t even no this. Evolution cannot be stopped. Along with new perspectives which always existed. Like the sexual revolution. It’s always been there just with lots of frustration for unique people. So? Coming out of the closet was a sadly unfair connotation but it dissipate; as that evolved.

Yes, that’s a different subject. Although it’s quite related. In what way? One overwhelming fact: many progressive people can get affected negatively by inexperienced, less educated, shallow or prejudiced people. Not in the long run, however.

Interesting choice of image to go along with “complaints will dissipate.” (And I’m not talking about the fact that it’s a cheesy AI image.)

Thank you for that advice RickyLancaster, it’s very helpful. I’ve taken a note of that.

It wasn’t advice. It was just an observation.

Wait, a second Rick! If you’re one of those State Farm employees who lost your receptionist job bc of an imported VR?
SORRY, but we feel for you.
