This Verge article about #AI is not an intelligently-written article.

The author makes too many assumptions about what chatbots are without ever going into specifics. One thing with the moribund/lackluster job market, and I'm excluding all of California and specifically the Bay Area: #Oregon 's job market has more or less been this "crap-tastic" in all regions within the western USA since around 1990 or perhaps 1993 with the passage of the wrecking ball on jobs called NAFTA and also challenges associated with the momentous transition to the ways and means of modern I.T. by 1999 and beyond — and the adoption of Internet-based applications that run on PC's and their networks.

There is SO much wrong with the modern work force in the western US... where should I begin, here?

Start with the fact that maybe 60% of all corporate bosses are borderline psychopaths, a lot of the wages they offer to their workers are simply terrible, and the benefits are eroding fast because the price of everything is going up while the monopolies are winning. I'm sorry, but Gen Z is not mature enough to understand these nuances in economics and in American business environments.

Gen X-aged Open Source Software hackers and programmers had desired for the momentum to shift a certain way. We were wrong about half of everything that we proposed.

I would have to say that it's all about "plan to fail, and fail to plan."

What we have in the interim, in terms of the tools at our disposal which make proper use of the elements in AI technology are really and truly pathetic. The Verge did NOT get that one part wrong.

The more young people use AI, the more they hate it

Caught between fears of job loss and social stigma, Gen Z’s opinions of AI are hitting new lows.
