    In many cases, Alzuhair writes, human supply chain managers are no longer being asked to override automatic shipments or intervene when discrepancies occur under their jurisdiction.

    Don’t worry guys, AI will revolutionize everything. You won’t have to think at all!

    Except AI is trash at doing what it’s advertised to do, it makes everybody dumber, and its shills will blame you once it inevitably mucks everything up.

      Last year McDonalds tried a test of replacing human drive thru workers with an AI running the speaker board. It was shut down after only 3 weeks.

      My favorite bit was a guy trying to order a big mac meal large with a coke.

      What the AI heard, was 81,000 bottles of Dasani water. Then asked “Is this correct?” To which the guy responded “81,000 bottles of fucking water???”

      To which the AI added a big mac meal medium with a water. Then asked if his updated order was correct. He just drove off.

        I was at a Bojangles earlier this year and they had an AI doing their drive thru. I was trying to order a meal, but didn’t want a drink. That confused the heck out of the AI. It kept trying to force a drink in me. Gave up and walked into the store. Guy behind the counter was smiling and said something like, “we can hear what you’re saying to it. Next time just pull around. We got you.”

          Oh, ya got me! Clearly an AI never makes mistakes, and everyone who tells you otherwise, including me, is clearly lying!

          So you can’t trust what people say ever. You need to always see video.

          Wait, but now video can be easily manipulated by AI. I can make evidence that never happened.

          So you can’t trust people. You can’t trust video. I guess nothing ever happens, and if someone says something happened, you can’t trust the proof now either. Guess nothing ever happens.

      If AI is “responsible” for the well-being of humans…DEAD humans can’t get sick. DEAD humans don’t have to pay rent. DEAD humans stay dead.

      The logic is solid.

      We don’t even have “AI”. We have LLMs, aka chatbots, aka glorified digital parrots that, just because they’re eloquent and sound competent, management with little to no technical expertise feels can replace large parts of the workforce.

      If we just called it “cyberparrots” instead of “AI”, maybe more people would their limited utility and the utter folly of having these take over ever larger portions of business procedures.
