My grandfather farmed for 55 years, longer if you count time spent with his father, who bought the land around 1900. He was a quiet, generous, sober & cautious man. I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say if he saw that he’d shoot the television.
There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

Nothing about these AI ads are remotely believable, even if you know NOTHING about AI. You just need to use deductive logic.
If GenSpark could truly "automate your work so you could take the day off" then why not two days? Three days? Why go back to work at all? It's just so obvious they're lying.

These shit ads are doing more to accelerate the collapse of AI than @edzitron.com could ever dream of.

When Trump screeches “Nobody understands a word this guy [Bad Bunny] is saying”, he is saying that anyone who understands Spanish is a “Nobody” to him.
That is over 45 million Americans who are “nobodies” to Trump.
