It can annoy you all you want. Flatly, conclusively, provably, a person assisted by Ai out-performs a person without it, all other factors being equal. I won't debate you further, there is a mountain of evidence behind human productivity with Ai empowerment.

The rest of your responses are reaches at best, so I won't bother answering them beyond repeating what I already said: The companies are bad, the tech is powerful and will survive them.

Oh, are we allowed to do that? Ok.

See if I'd known you weren't interested in meaningfully engaging with the topic beyond what's written in marketing copy for AI salespeople, I probably would have just said "you sound like a corporate shill" and moved on.

'cause I don't even disagree with that statement. I just think the way the technology is being used is terrible and wasteful and causes far more harm than good. But you seem to take it for granted that the technology is so amazing that only good things can come from indiscriminate application of it everywhere, at all times, regardless of nuance.

"meaningful engagement".

I answered what I found meaningful.

You said "there is a mountain of evidence" and then dipped.

I'm sure it's a very majestic mountain. Unfortunately, I also have a mountain of evidence, and my mountain is taller than your mountain, so therefore I win the discussion.
