The answer is really trivial and really embarrassingly simple, once you remove the engineering/functional/world improvement goggles. The answer is: because the rich folks invested a ton of money and they need it to work. Or at least to make most of the white collar work dependent on it, quality be damned. Hence the ever increasing pushing, nudging, advertising, offering to use the crap-tech everywhere. It seems now it will not win over the engineers. Unfortunately it seems to work with most of the general population. Every lazy recruiter out there is now using chatgpt to generate job summaries and "evaluate" candidates. Every "office worker" of the general type deadweight you meet at every company is happy to use it to produce more powerpoints, slides and documents for you drown in. And I won't even mention the "content" business model of the influencers.

- rokkamokka 1y agoI find it funny that the page subheader is "If the economy's single pillar goes down, Trump's presidency will be seen as a disaster". Is it not a disaster already? The fast slide towards autocracy should certainly be viewed as a disaster if nothing else.
- yoyohello13 1y agoThe fact that sending the US military to occupy our own cities is not seen as a failure is... something.

- wkat4242 1y agoAt our place we have two types of users. One that is a deep evangelist, says it revolutionised their office work and has no idea that it might have accuracy problems. I guess those are the people that just create a lot of hot air. The others tried it and ran into the obvious Achilles heels and are now pretty cautious. But use it for a thing or two.
- nunez 1y agoThey're using it, yes, but it's still heavily subsidized by VC, and it reminds to be seen whether it will remain as popular as prices percolate upwards. Either way, layoffs all the same if this "doesn't work".
- hansmayer 1y agoI agree it is heavily subsidized. The problem is, the general population got used to cheap or free software over the past decades and most of them don't really understand how much their polite exchanges with the chatgpt actually cost :) I'd be happy to see the price of the tooling jump up to reflect the real costs.
