>The thing and bothers me the most though is that computers increasingly act like humans that I need to talk to to get things done, and if that wasn't bad enough I also have to talk with people constantly. Exactly how I feel. Mainstream tech has become increasingly frustrating for me to deal with, I can only assume because of its mass adoption and catering towards the average person. I'm seeing processes that were difficult and involved humans in the past now be replaced not by better technical solutions, but by LLMs masquerading as the humans, making it even more difficult. Ex: a customer service phone call but now with a bot. I used to hope that I would one day be able to make appointments using an online calendar, but now I'm expecting I'll still need to call, but "talk" to an AI, still during business hours.
