Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.
More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.

Its not like there are zero uses for AI, its that the use cases they’re trying to shove down our throats are the worst ones.
I’m a certified AI hater, but I still use it on occasion to help with spreadsheet formulas.
