At the risk of pissing on people’s chips I figured it’d be helpful to illustrate the three classes of AI user I’ve identified in the slopageddon. You might be thinking: “Hey, those personas are all negative!” — and you’re absolutely right!
Believe me, I’d love nothing more than to shut up about “AI”.
The thing is, not a week goes by without one of my peers crying out in abject despair. Until the grifters cease spitting in my face and threatening my career, please allow me to extend a middle finger their way.
I’m working on more positive plans that I hope to announce soon(-ish). Makes sense to be more proactive and spend energy where it matters. Not that this post didn’t! I enjoyed the few technical challenges artworking the page.
