Things that make you sad, angry, or upset.

That sucks, but yeah, it's a lot like that sometimes...Some weeks I feel like I a full-time handyman on top of everything else.

Halle-Freaking-lujah!! The stove had display problems plus one of the elements went out on it. The fridge is not cooling properly and our garage door closes on the first try and if the buttons isn't held down only if the planets are properly aligned. Told the wife we should replace all the appliances once with something better quality than the box store junk so they might make 5 years without a major failure. As for the garage door, I looked, watched youtube videos, lubed everything, so its time to call in a pro, I'm sick of screwing with it. I just have to keep repeating home ownership is great to myself again, and again, and again, ad nauseum.......

Colleagues and clients at work who use AI to write their emails or challenge your positions. Then, when you pick up the phone to ask them questions about their email, it's clear they have absolutely no idea WTF they are talking about.

I'm seriously worried about what the world will be like in 20 years, when there's an entire generation of people who cannot express themselves at all, think for themselves, and rely on AI for everything.

Well, with my 13 year old daughter being a sample size of 1, my purely scientific consensus is that today's youths are mistrustful of AI, and actually actively try to avoid it.  My daughter is quite fanatical in her disowning of anything AI related, going so far as to berate me for my occasional use of it. 

So, there may be hope for future generations.

Same with my youngest (22), but the other two use it to tweak pictures or plan home staging ideas.

Yep, very irritating. You did the right thing though, call them and remove the AI element. Or, if they're really irritating, book a meeting (email attached) with them and their boss to discuss their position...Then they've gotta decide between figuring out how to defend their ridiculous stance, or backing off and rejecting the meeting....either way, they come out looking like a clown.

I find a phone meeting where their boss is looped in is a great come to jesus moment for most of these chuckleheads.

Pretty hard to avoid AI nowadays.  Who doesn't use google to search for things right.  I don't use AI in anything work related even though we have an internal ChatGNB AI that we can use for things like translation and what not.  I have used AI for reviewing legal documents (like a warranty), as I find it's much easier to ask AI pointed questions about the document and getting answers that way than actually reading through the entire document.

You are worried that the next generation won't be able to communicate well, I feel like that's the least of the issues.  Once our generation and our parents generations are gone, it'll only take the loss of internet to cripple society.  I feel like our generation would be crippled without electricity but could get by fairly well without internet access.  Our parents generation I think could actually survive without either (maybe it's closer to our grand parents for that one, but they already pretty much gone).
