I can't wait. There are so many pointless or directly insulting AI 'features' around now, and they suck. LinkedIn trying to write my messages for me. Outlook is trying to write my emails. Instagram has a deeply cursed AI button to "make it funnier".

I hope the stock market will give all of these people an atomic wedgie for creating the most pointless garbage to ever pass before human eyes.

Not necessarily. If a call center can improve productivity by 20-30% by driving contacts to self-service (AI chatbots and search) then they will do so regardless of stock market hype.
