     If anybody is wondering this advert is real, it’s running in San Francisco.

     The company is called Artisan. If you google them, all the reviews are horrible and suggest they are a scam company.

     @GossiTheDog Is it time to email flood clients of that company? I mean, such ad should cost at least one company it's existence.

     @dusk @GossiTheDog "Overpromising" is putting it very generously. It's an outright lie/scam. "AI" requires hiring more humans to fix the shit it makes than it would have taken to do the job right to begin with.

     Ah, SF . . .

     More context, if folk are curious:

     > Stop Hiring Humans

     https://gizmodo.com/ai-firms-stop-hiring-humans-billboard-campaign-sparks-outrage-2000536368

     This is, of course, the promise of much of the AI hype. Hugely over-promising, IMO, in a lot of arenas.

     @dalias @dusk @GossiTheDog maybe that's good news, it will create more jobs on the market and reduce unemployment?

     Oh no, companies would rather keep shipping unfixed AI-generated slop than hire more people to fix it...

     @maxd @dusk @GossiTheDog Yes exactly. They're not going to fix it any more than they're forced to in order to avoid going under. What AI really spells is drastically worse quality of products/services, drastically reduced safety, drastically worse health & medical outcomes, drastically less justice, etc. for all of us.
