How much money did they spend on this to not only advertise the poor quality of their product, but make an example of themselves for trusting AI output without having a human proofread the output?

I'm thankful that this level of laziness is self revealing. As pro AI as I am, I'm very cautious with what's currently available. The technology is still very much in the developmental stage yet so many are rushing to be the first sell something rather than than being the first to get it right.

While not impossible to find over here, it's hardly a common display item after Cheddar, Swiss, American, Havarti, Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Muenster have taken up space on the shelves.

If this suddenly took the place of American cheese, this would be the kind of misinformation I can live with.

Had to do work for themselves? Oh the crime.

It may be in it's developmental stage, but it's also something that may never be usable without human review in any but the most trivial circumstances. It's a tool - which means that it's something for humans to use.

This sort of stuff feels like someone throwing a chainsaw at a tree. Maybe on a tiny tree you might get lucky and chop it down, but realistically you need to control it, monitor what it's doing and give constant feedback to get a good result. It's much easier than cutting down a tree with an axe, and someone who couldn't fell a tree with an axe can probably have a solid go with a chainsaw. But it's not automatic.

Had to do work for themselves? Oh the crime.

Honestly, with the huge amounts of ******** documentation that a lot of companies require these days ChatGPT is a pretty excellent tool and not having access to it can seriously blunt the amount of work people can get done.

As above, it's only a tool and it still needs human review and guidance. But if you have a lot of paperwork to get through and you've not looked at whether something like ChatGPT can help you then you're not being diligent, you're being foolish.
