We all know what AI is doing to the workforce but that’s no mystery. Has AI actually served you well, or is it all overhyped slop?

for the average person, it just provides an objectively inferior result to reading the results on google. like I cannot imagine thinking "Wow I really want an incorrect and incomplete response to my query that doesn't even link me to additional context to fill in the gaps right now"
Did you somehow forget that 90% of the shit on the internet 3 years ago just before AI was just absolute garbage websites copy/pasting from every other website in existence and so full of ads that people couldn't even find the actual content on the page?
All that garbage is still there, under the slop, under the Reddit and other promoted answers. It's just another layer on top of what we were actually looking for.
