Now, I'm not sure I'm adamantly opposed to artificial INTELLIGENCE. It's the artificial STUPIDITY that drives me wild, like the bots that monitor reviews on Amazon or enforce what they think are "community guidelines" on You Tube. Then, should you require a human to interact with, you're out of luck. THAT I object to. Distinguishing between the two is not hard at times, impossible at other times. Given the enormous amounts of power that the server farms providing these services to us require, I'm not all that sure they'll be an eternal feature of our lives. Just sayin'.
Great point, though companies that just a few years ago were touting their commitment to reducing their power consumption (i.e. Google) have replaced their human staff with AI so much I'm sure they're using "funny math" to claim they're still committed. Corporations (mostly) suck...and use up more energy than most civilized nations. That's not sustainable.
As for the bots, they made me bitch and glitch endlessly. I hate them so. :-p
