A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's always weird trying to determine if things like this will be a flop or a serious societal issue.

these autonomous agents represent the next step in the evolution of large language models (LLMs), seamlessly integrating into business processes to handle functions such as responding to customer inquiries, identifying sales leads, and managing inventory.

I really want to see what happens. It seems to me these "agents" are still useless in handling tasks like customer inquiries. Hopefully customers will get tired and switch to companies that employ competent humans instead...

We got used to foreign call centers. They're not incompetent, but the wording is always off, and I say this as someone whose English usage is not exclusively American. Took me weeks to drop the Aussie accent.

I'm going with serious societal issue.

When Microsoft hears " how can Microsoft get any worse?" they have always taken that as a challenge.
