I understand the frustration. Most tools are created for the majority of use cases though, so this isn't the fault of AI. It's just that it saves the time of people in support by removing a large proportion of the work they used to do and automating it.
That means you should get to a person quicker

Most people that are complaining about AI don't realise that the software they use almost certainly relies on AI to some extent somewhere in the supply chain.
Trying to avoid it is impossible.
Focus on improving regulation and limiting the power of tech companies. That's far more valuable.
And before you go "but you don't know about the data centres"...
I was doing talks at conferences on the climate impact of data centres nearly 10 years ago before most people even knew it was a problem.
But I still use AI for very specific uses.
Why?
Because there's ***always*** a trade off.
The number of times I see people "outraged" at the use of AI for something that seems trivial it bothers me.
Yes there are significant issues that I've discussed many times before around (environmental, energy , labour, regulatory etc) and these are all valid.
But some uses are reasonable.
Not every use of AI is bad

Why can't it be delegated? Is it software specific?
Genuine question, because installing software is a relatively easy thing to delegate.
I hate to say it, but this is likely better than a person in terms of understanding what it is that you need.
I'm not defending it, but I think it's important not to dismiss every single use of AI as bad, just because it's AI.
Yesterday was one of the most horrific days I've had in a while.
Genuinely cannot believe how horrible some people are on social media.
And you're blocked from this point forward
Muting this thread because the person I reposted decided to be a dick and get his followers to pile on me.
So he's a knob.
You realise he posted the source link after my post?
How about this in response to a reasonable request for a source.
Reposting to all your followers and then causing a lot of them to come and give me abuse is called being a dick and a bully.
That was easy.

And blocked
Blocked.
This is
I've remembered why I went off social media for about 6 months.
You really are there just to be rude to me when I was asking for help.
I don't understand people like you.
You're blocked.
If you don't understand why I'd be offended and upset by that then... Sorry but you don't understand how words can hurt people
Because he shared half the post dishonestly
This person just tried to make a point about what I said ... But only shared half the post.
People don't recognise their own dishonesty.
The second half is "can someone share a source please".
Good grief
Because people were being rude.
Which is justifiable.
Let's share the whole post you knob.
And yes you deserve it for only using a partial source to make your point.
Provide the source.
Exactly that I asked for in the original post.
Why is this so hard to understand?
I suggested it could have been manufactured.
Not that it was manufactured.
Do you understand that your words mean something?
It sounds like you're not really aware of the damage your words could do.

And... The sarcasm and dismissal of your original post was your starting point here.
Yes... Because science

And before anyone says "be clearer in your posts", do you understand how stupid that is?
I have limited chars to get over context.
I do my best to explain things but good grief it is never good enough.
