    Because corporate bean counters have 12 month contracts and are only judged on their ROI in that period.

    Making long-term investments are only seen as expenditures on the balance sheet.

      Isn’t this the most benign use of AI? It’s just a transcription, no?

      I dunno, I don’t see the problem here.

          Uh huh… Your account is only 20 days old. I’ve been interacting here for over 3 years.

          I’m not pro-AI, but text to speech isn’t really AI, in my opinion.

          It’s existed for decades.

            You could have been here for 10 years, it wouldn’t make any difference, especially if you are incapable of understanding a joke.

    Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.

    As true today as it was in 1964.
