    OK, coder.

    I generally think of myself as quite antisocial and introverted, but you chaps are making me rethink that.

    I was only joking

      Not sure how to articulate this but a concern I have with AI is what I would call the piles of "AI dust". How much content (in all formats) will be created by AI and then referenced later by AI and also discarded by AI? There will be so much synthetic garbage out there after a number of years....

        @Doctor-Phibes I am with you on the in person interaction. I know in the various "remote work" forum threads we have had, there are some posters who are passionate about working from home and others (like me, Docter Phibes, and I think Jolly) who were on the side of in person.

          I'm in favour of people being given a choice wherever possible. Clearly there are benefits to remote-working, but there are also plenty of benefits to social interactions.

              I think most people, if given the choice, would chose remote, even if it was not the best choice when all things are looked from a work perspective.

                And those who enjoy/need the office social interactions convince themselves that those people just don't know what's best for themselves. Meanwhile, probably 90% of people, if given the choice to take or leave the whole in person office scene, would leave it. But the 10% are sure they're all simply ignorant of what is good in life.

                  Good point. A large part of it will just be flat wrong.

                    It's a known issue and the AI companies are working on solutions for it. Unclear how good those solutions will be.

                      I think most people would prefer a bit of both. The main complaint I hear about office working is all the time wasted in commuting, rather than being in the actual office being awful.
