I just hate the feeling of chatting with something that is designed to sound human when I got into software devrlopment because I got tired of dealing with people in the first place.
From my perspective natural language isn’t expressive enough to describe a computer program and that’s why programming languages were created. That’s one of the reasons you gotta keep prompting over and over again.
Couple that with the gambling type feeling I get when I use them (keep rolling the dice until something is spit out that “works”), just feels gross to me.
It’s really depressing to me because I really enjoy programming and I know there are tons out there like me who have had the same passion with it.
My dad died at home in hospice last fall, and when I called the funeral home that we had selected to handle his cremation to come pick up his body, the answering service was AI. I could tell because of the weird artificial background noises, the strange accent that wasn’t from any language on earth, and the fact that when it read back my father’s name for spelling confirmation it said “Bob common name B O B Smith common name S M I T H?”. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t just hang up immediately and go with a different funeral home.
For extra fun, when we met with the owner of the funeral home later he kept cracking jokes. And he didn’t deliver the urn until the night before my father’s interment ceremony, after I had been frantically calling him about it the whole week before. LPT: don’t go with a funeral home whose owner shares a name with a character from The Sopranos.
What, you went with Big Pussy’s Funeral Home and Cremation Services? Or are you just ruling out pretty much every Italian funeral home?
