Settle down, consumer units.

Your function is to enrich the "I have nine private jets and four megayachts" Dark Triad crowd by whatever means they choose, and you will like it or all accounts and electronic evidence of your existence will be eliminated.

There is no "C"
Ah, the acclaimed voice of the resistance, broadcasting live from the epicenter of the struggle... your bedroom.

Settle down, prophet of the digital apocalypse.

Your function is to churn out the same tired monologue of forum-board nihilism to feel intellectually superior to the 'consumer units', all while generating valuable engagement data for the billionaires who own those platforms. And you will relish every single like, because it validates the comfortable delusion that your cynicism is a form of intellect, and not just profound boredom.

Keep posting. Your performative discontent is a fine product, and business is booming.

By the way, there is an option 'C'. It’s called 'touching grass'.

Pardon me, Jesse, but I have the distinct impression you're spending more time criticizing the tool than you are reading its manual. Proper research is conducted with information, not a crystal ball. If you fail to provide your sources, you might as well be consulting a drunken fortune-teller at the cheapest corner bar.

Indeed.

Please forgive Jesse.

He has almost no experience dealing with image-related technology of any kind, so gets frustrated easily when trying to use sophisticated tools. (Watching unqualified people with zero experience try to use such things is equal parts funny and sad, innit? Go easy on him.)

Since you such an expert at doing research you ought to know about the dangers of making assumptions without evidence. You are indulging in crystal ball gazing when you do this.
I’ve spent decades researching myriad subjects in the pursuit of providing accurate information for the dozens of disparate films I have worked on, from crystalline formations at the earth’s core to the effects on the human body caused by being digested. I know quite well how to do research. Spare me your silly academic presumption.
The information that I’ve been recently engaged in revolves around several productions that I worked on years ago, and those queries included specific information that would have been sufficient for any search engine not reduced to the level of a simpering cretin.
I can’t support your mindless Rah! Rah! Sis Boom Bah!
But you are certainly welcome to indulge your fantasies regarding this half baked technology.
At some point in the next few years it may become more credible, just as other technologies became credible in the years following their introduction. But right now it’s a money grab, being promoted before it’s ready for prime time.

The biggest problem with it is simply that people will overly rely on it and take the philosophy of good enough. And that people relying on it for important choices often don't understand what they're working with at all.
Though my favorite AI stupidity was having it tell us about Albert Einstein's indie rock band he was in previous to his later career.

How curious that you should dredge this up. It was precisely with that cynical and cretinous behavior of yours that this all began in the first place. While you're at it, you may as well recall your own malicious and disparaging remarks about me and my collection. Do shine a light on that venomous mockery of yours, which finds its echo in the guise of anonymous profiles — cowards hiding behind random pictures and names to sow discord and feed that bitter resentment you harbor.

I have spent the last six years building something, offering my time and attention to create a resource for everyone's benefit. Every single person who has reached out to me, whether by email, Instagram, or any other means, was treated with promptness and courtesy. I defy anyone here to state otherwise.

And now, because I finally react to your disgusting and contemptible behavior, I am the problem? Spare me. You are nothing but a wretched, petulant little man.

Ah. So it's me, then.

Wait... I've never even been to Brazil, never mind speak Portuguese.
