it reminds me of that one image where on the sender's side they say "I used AI to turn this one bullet point into a long email I can pretend to write" and on the recipient of the email it says "I can turn this long email that I pretend to read into a single bullet point" AI for so many products is just needlessly overcomplicating things for no reason other than to shovel AI into it.
We used to be taught Occam's razor. When an email came, you would assume that some other poor sod behind a screen somewhere sat down and typed the words in front of you. With the current paradigm, a future where you're always reading a slightly better AI unfuck-simplifying another slightly worse AI's convoluted elaboration on a five word prompt is not just a fever dream anymore. Reminds me of the novel Don't Create the Torment Nexus
