People are touting this like it's a good thing or something, presumably this means a 30% reduction compared to the previous staffing this would have require. 30% is a lot.
I don't think it's perceived as good? (curious, why would it be?) Just that it's disingenuous to market it as AI. Everyone and their mother now has """AI""" ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Yeah, good is probably the wrong word, I mean "positive in the sense it shows AI can't replace humans".
Oh, i get it! Yeah, 30% is a considerable percentage.
Where I work (text-based customer support), a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a spreadsheet analysing that they could "save" 25% in wages by implementing GPT-4.
It may still be mostly humans on the line, but 1 out 4 of us may get the boot.
