AI Is the Wrong Name…

AI should be AS…

There is nothing at all intelligent about AI. But the name ARTIFICIAL STUPID fits perfectly.

AS for short.

Now, please don’t try to explain to me what AI (or AS) is, I understand it. And for heaven’s sake, don’t tell me about some threat that Harlan imagined over fifty years ago and Cameron stole forty years ago. I will not have an AI (or AS) discussion here to prove how stupid humans can be. I already know that.

I just wanted to point out that today alone I dealt with three ARTIFICIALLY STUPID things that businesses thought would be good for customer service and save them money. One I had to work through and finally gave up. Two businesses lost my business by having the ARTIFICIALLY STUPID voice try to direct me and get me trapped in some circle yelling HUMAN!!  Which of course did not work.

Saved them money all right. Saved me money as well since I didn’t give any to any of them. Their AS greeters would not let me.

And then today I got two more of those scam ARTIFICIALLY STUPID emails hyping books I talked about yesterday, and one book was not even mine. Considering how many hundreds of books I have written and hundreds and hundreds more I have published, the AS could at least find one of my books to try to get me to pay for fake hype.

Now to be fair, I did deal in another business with a HUMAN STUPID person. It was just one of those days.
