     IT at work wasn't happy when I responded to their "AI is now available!" announcement to remind them AI suggested glue as a pizza topping.

     @ElleGray Oh, "the mediocrity machine" is painfully accurate.

     I mostly see AI being used now by those who can't reach "mediocre" otherwise, or would happily go for "mediocre, but cheaper" over "good".

     It just cuts to the core of the current situation.
