Bored to death... again.

There are trillions of other topics, but it seems like some people have only one. Sigh.

If we agree that AI can't be fully trusted - and as far as I know it can't be because of the simple fact that all AI applications have disclaimers - it also can't be fully trusted to do even these 'minor' tasks. Which means you have to check everything anyway. So why even bother?

I naively thought I’d watched the final episode of the AI soap opera the day before yesterday, but as it turns out I was wrong…

Whoever is spewing out this rancid poll vomit clearly isn't listening.
Don't vote, don't comment, leave for a week, and let's see if there's any change...
It's the same story as everywhere online - negative engagement is better than no engagement at all.

It's highly doubtful that it will cease 11:49

Make it a year or perhaps a decade. Who knows how many of these one-topic-polls they're holding in reserve?

That depends on the topic. There is presently a lot of negative - and dangerous - engagement in my country going on. Frankly, I could really do without it, but instead prefer no engagement at all..

No, too dangerous 12:18

You have to give AI agents far too much permissions to be able to be sure that nothing goes wrong.
Besides, if it are "minor" tasks, which productivity gain could they give?
