Thanks for the candid response. Do you think that many of these examples were issues before, but now have become associated with AI?

I can relate to many of them, but they seem to predate AI for me.

I feel like Google search has been nearly useless for several years now, flooded with fake advertising results, even without AI. I'm happy that AI gives me an alternative to Google search, which is one of my top use cases.

I remember spending hours navigating annoying automated phone menus or on hold 10 years ago. Perhaps the same frustration exists, but includes AI is the face of the current embodiment.

I also agree AI can give bad advice, but the same was true for Reddit or a lazy Store employee or house contractor.
