100% agree.

By the way if Microsoft suggests one more f*ing CoPilot to me, I'm going
to drive over and punch SatNad in the face.  Everywhere you turn, some
tech monopoly is trying to convince you their AI product is
indispensable. I think they need us to use their crap more than we need
their crap.  They're trying to keep the venture capital funding spigot
flowing.

I personally don't find any of it useful.  Ebay now allows you to
autopopulate your sale items with AI descriptions.  As a buyer you can
spot the AI slop writing a mile away. I for one refuse to buy from
someone too lazy to write the item description by hand.
