MODERATORS
Isglitch is satirical. The joke is premised on a real occurrence where the secretary of education was excited about what A1 might do for education. She seemed oblivious to both what education entails and what AI is. She did not seem to confuse AI for condiments but she did say A1 multiple times, solidifying the idea that while she at least can read she is dumb.
Reminds me of a comment from some guy here talking about how the higher ups were pressuring him to integrate AI into their workflow when it wouldn't help with the given job at all
Reminds me of when the Apple iPad came out and the higher-ups at my employer wanted to know how to integrate iPads into things
It's because all the C-level execs are falling for the latest hype and want to jump on the buzzword bandwagon. AI isn't a panacea, just like blockchain, the cloud, and microservices weren't either.
