    Then why do so many of my coworkers seem to love using it for the dumbest stuff?

    Is it a cognitive dissonance thing like how most people in the US don’t like factory farms, but most people eat meat, dairy, and eggs?

    Or is my workplace just statistically more inclined than most?

      Because most people are stuck when comes to the ensuring they have a roof and food.

      American companies by and large are forcing AI into all aspect of business without any understanding of the AI or the use cases they are trying to apply it too.

      Most people are just rolling over and using it because it fulfills one of their KPIs for the quarter.

      EDIT: changed wording that came off harsh.

      Well it is okay to use it for dumb stuff.

      It becomes a problem when a company relies on AI for actual serious work.

      Probably both. Also, it is all fun and games as long as the lunch is free (or at least heavily subsidised by venture capital). Let’s see how enthusiastic people will be when it all operates on real costs.
