“Klarna…garnered a lot of attention and investor excitement after its CEO said last year it would replace many of its employees with AI… The CEO recently walked that claim back… Klarna had replaced a basic phone tree system with AI, which…may have resulted in customers quitting chats out of frustration.”

“The early reception of Microsoft’s Copilot, an AI agent for enterprises, has not been good, with companies and even insiders at Microsoft complaining it is lackluster and not worth the cost. Microsoft and Google have begun incorporating AI chatbots into their standard enterprise subscriptions…, essentially forcing them on users following low uptake.”

Sleepy Sunday

I got a decent night’s sleep last night. Why am I super tired today? I haven’t done anything unusual. I did my daily exercise BS and I’ve done a few errands around the house, but that’s all. Why am I exhausted? Is it because I am just old? Could be.

Someone on Threads asked for musical people to share some music. 99.999% of the time I ignore engagement bait posts like that but today I shared a song… and I think I accidentally shared an album. Oh well. I guess being super tired puts me into a kind of musical glutton for punishment mode. I just don’t know if the punishment I expect is in the form of bad criticisms or just the chirping of critics as the universe ignores my shitty songs. Probably the latter. Oh well.

Did I mention that it was snowing a few minutes ago? It was just a tiny flurry but it fits the mood of the day. The mood being, Blah.

I wonder if a few seconds after publishing this post I am going to get a long comment from a user whose name and photo imply that they are female while the long comment is something that is most probably written by some sort of AI program. It’s happened on the last few posts I’ve published that had more than just a sentence or two of text. You know, something that ChatGPT could sink its virtual teeth into. We’ll see in a minute. Maybe writing about it will let them know that I am on to them and they’ll lay off. Doubtful.

Oh look at that, I just got a text from bank of america saying that my account has been disabled due to suspicious activity. I had better call them and give them all of my personal information, even though I don’t have a fucking account with fucking bank of america. Oh well.

I Spent 24 Hours in the Woods With Talking AI Chatbots

Meta AI, Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot now have eerily human voices. WSJ’s Joanna Stern strapped the AI bots to a tripod and took them to a cabin in the woods to test their skills as helpers—and as friends.

‘How do we feel about AI-generated agents being part of our world? How should we respond to them? What does it mean for us, as humans operating in society, when more and more of the entities we encounter — maybe even a majority of what we encounter — are non-human rather than human?’#aichatbots open.substack.com/pub/davideps

Range Widely · Attack of the AI Voice ClonesBy David Epstein

For the past wk, we’ve tested #AI #chatbots’ on breaking #political stories & found they were largely unable to keep up w/consequential real-time #news. Most didn’t have #current info, gave incorrect answers, or declined to answer & pushed users to check news sources.

W/just months left until the election & bombshell political news dropping at a steady clip, #AIchatbots are distancing themselves from #politics & breaking news or refusing to answer at all.

Washington Post · A week of nonstop breaking political news stumps AI chatbotsAfter Biden’s exit from the presidential race and the Trump rally shooting, AI chatbots struggled to say what had happened. Was it a sign that AI is not ready for breaking news?
