Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop? (lemmy.world)

I've found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

That's a bit loaded question. By AI I assume you're refering to GenAI/LLMs rather than AI broadly.

I use it to correct my spelling on longer posts and I find that it improves the clarity and helps my point come across better.
I use Dall-E to create pictures I never could have before, because despite my interest in drawing, I just never bothered to learn it myself. GenAI enables me to skip the learning and go straight to creating.
I like that it can simulate famous people and allows me to ask 'them' questions that I never could in real life. For example, yesterday I spent a good while chatting with 'Sam Harris' about the morality of lying and the edge cases where it might be justified. I find discussions like this genuinely enjoyable and insightful.
I also like using the voice mode where I can just talk with it. As a non-native english speaker, I find it to be good practise to help me improve my ~~spelling~~ pronunciation.

To nitpick a bit, you're probably thinking of pronunciation. Spelling is written, not spoken.
