    I would actually take it a step further and say it’s worse than useless tbh.

    What good is it to have a summary generated about night clubs when literally zero of the details generated can be presumed accurate? Like it will just full on ass pull basic details even down to the hours of operation. This constant confident misinfo actually harms your process.

    you were going to go through them 1 by 1 anyway

    And furthermore, we’re ignoring the fact that no, you were not. Nobody in the history of time has ever run a detailed comparative analysis on a massive list of nightclubs in their area for the purpose of optimizing their night out. You just look at the map for whatever’s gonna be cheapest to uber to and quickly check the reviews lol. Or more likely someone in your group started out wanting to check out a specific place, and that’s that.

    The mere concept of employing AI in this instance was delivered to you by a marketing firm. That’s the bread and butter of these companies: pretending a trivial, routine task that we’ve performed without friction for many years is actually a large project that justifies investment in and deployment of their bloated expensive product.

    You can go back and forth with me all day trying to contrive different random examples where you think maaaaaybe the AI saves you ten seconds of time if you squint, but in reality people who often use it just waste a bunch of their time floundering and walk away less informed than when they started

      So you just basically admit that no amount of argument against your point will change your mind. So thanks for letting me know I’m wasting my time here. Have a good one.

        You’re in a group that’s literally called “Fuck AI”.

        Yes, you’re wasting your time here if you’re pitching AI. Go find a group that doesn’t have “Fuck” immediately preceding “AI”.

        Nice attempt at a copout. Where did I admit anything similar to that?

        My mind can very easily be changed with evidence. The problem with “AI” is all you have is marketing without substance.

        The fact that users are wasting their time and ending up confidently ill informed is why I consider it worse than worthless. Literally every study indicates that people are less efficient when they adopt the tech (even the people who incorrectly self report that their numbers are better lmao). Companies across the board are failing to get ROI on this. The results speak.

        So yes, I am unfortunately not interested in wasting all day on an endless string of improvised hypothetical situations written from the perspective of LLMs being great and then working backwards from there. It’s fruitless and irrational
