The way AI is being pushed onto workers on a global scale has to be the dumbest thing to ever happen in the work space. Executives are getting hysterical over something they don't even try to understand and even governments shower companies in subsidies if they do anything with AI. Of course the only result so far are mass layoffs and exploding costs for energy and hardware. All the while economies are crumbling everywhere because of course they do when mass unemployment sweeps around the globe. And again, governments everywhere are subsiding this crap with tax payer money. What's even worse than all of that is the insane environmental damage all of this causes. But I'll have to cut myself short here because I'm just getting increasingly upset here.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: We're funding our own decline in rapid speed. Human stupidity has found a new peak in 2026 and it's not even close. I knew the way AI was advertised was completely overblown years ago but I never anticipated it would get this bad this quickly.
