"No, why would I?"

"You're the computer guy!"

"No, I am a telecommunications guy, computer is just a screwdriver or a wrench. The computers I work on aren't consumer things."

I think I just had a stroke.

@hzulla Cool, can't wait until they realize that AI generation is sloppy crap ... but the Real fun starts when you explain to that person that we can use AI so that I don't have to pay their expensive asses either.

And I'm willing to bet that person's job is easily replaced with an LLM.
