Why aren’t we raging at movie theaters? They’ve been putting ads before the content we actually paid to see for a long time now

I'm pretty biased these days, but I don't think the bean counters share that vision of the positive impact that AI could have on our working lives.

Appreciate the link!

Wasn't really the point of my post, but definitely something for me to think about. Appreciate you reading!

Thanks for the feedback! When I ran it through an LLM it had some similar feedback that I purposefully didn't action on ;)

Let's say it was critical for the business, with no viable alternatives? I'm all for "find a way or make one" but there are times when you need to be more practical than dogmatic.

Would love to hear your thoughts

Yeah, that closeness of options makes it tough to really dig the heels in. Also, you can become a customer today, and have them fire their entire support staff and replace it with an agent tomorrow. Dwindling QC and CS isn't a new concern though, just need to make sure the space isn't owned by a single company
