    Are you trying to deny that AI is also convenient for regular people?

    • Uh, yes. AI cannot and does not have productive output as its goal, technologically speaking. Therefore, any “convenience” is imagined and projected upon an algorithm of statistically most likely text. It’s just a statistician strapped in front of the 1 Million Monkeys thought experiment.

      It’s quintessentially useless, unless your ultimate goal is text resembling language en masse. But usually, Loren Ipsum is much more energy efficient.

        But if it saves time on some simple tasks, how can you say it’s not convenient?

        • there is no task that is meaningful time saved by a kind of context-dependant lorem ipsum. The task is then not done, but simply rejected on its face.

            I have no clue what you’re trying to say.

            If I ask an AI to write an email and it does so both better and faster than I could, how can you say it’s inconvenient and doesn’t save time?
