convert these Postman JSON collections to JMeter load tests

Just use jmeter! Jmeter and corpo-curl are two different tools, it's really not that hard to design your own test plans.

I also don't understand making the receptionist do it, e2e tests are actually important and should be designed by someone familiar with the system they are testing.

Convert the PDF to a fillable form

You mean ocr? The thing that we already had an ai boom/bust cycle about in the 60s?! The thing the USPS has used to read chickenscratch addresses on all envelopes since the 70s?

Here, this project has been filling your exact use case for more than a dozen years now: https://github.com/ocrmypdf

and make sure the fillable fields are properly located between the lines of the field names they correspond to" and then it just does it and now applicants can apply online and you didn't have to pay an expensive human to do menial one-off work in applications they don't really know.

There's a ton of dumb, time-wasting shit you don't have to do anymore because you can just make the robot do it. It's not all just straight plagiarism and stealing artwork and dead Internet propaganda-bot garbage. You can use it for good or evil. The power generation and inefficiency are still unsolved problems, the super aggressive build-out arms race is pure idiocy and we absolutely need to slow this whole thing down, and I'll never forgive these greedy fucks for ruining the PC components market every few years, first crypto now this, but there are use cases that allow people to do things they couldn't otherwise do.

Properly used, AI is a force multiplier. Improperly used, it's a resource-burning race to the bottom, but if you can't think of legitimate uses for a general-purpose software robot you can tell to do tedious stuff in plain language and it'll just do it with a bit of guidance, then I don't know what to tell you.

Big wall of nothing, didn't read.

I've been perfectly clear where I stand, you have been cherry picking definitions to suit your argument this entire thread. I have never conflated gen ai with corporate interests, you can see from my profile that I'm against chatbots of all types, open or closed weights, cloud or local. I am arguing against generative ai, all generative ai, as I have been doing for years. You are making excuses to avoid any self reflection about your chatbot use.

Do you not see how incredibly broad your definition is compared to wikis or mine? I agree that wiki definitions often use qualifiers in order to avoid making absolute statements, but wiki and I absolutely do agree about this.

I am struggling to take your claim of simple miscommunication seriously. The context of the gen ai debate that's been raging for 3+ years is not in flux: we have all been saying the same things about the same chatbots, and the idea that anti-ai people just hate medicine or weather or animals or whatever is just... deeply disrespectful and annoying. You can at least just learn what we're opposed to, before defending ai from attacks and arguments that were never made and would be silly to try to make.

No, absolutely false. Generative ai is literally generating text and images or even videos from a prompt. If you conflate everything it's very easy to dismiss criticism, but if you actually contend with anti-ai arguments you will find they all use this definition.

So you just completely ignore all context? The fact that you're talking about generative ai doesn't give you any fucking context clues? Who is arguing against machine learning?? Nobody! Who is fighting to get rid of disease modeling? Nobody!! These are fake arguments that only exist to distract from the very very limited potential of chatbots, and yes, generative ai is just chatbots.

Yeah, sure, it can produce text. That's not my issue with your previous comment. The issue is you bring up "generative ai" and then list a bunch of machine learning applications that have nothing to do with chatbots.

How do you employ ai non-greedily, pray tell?

You've provided no reason, yet again, for your claim. Am I being unreasonable? Is there no reason you can think of why I might doubt your sincerity?

Random assertions are not valid arguments. I'm not even saying you're right or wrong, you are providing no value to the discussion.

This you? First comment in this thread?

I'm so glad we've had this rising moral grandstanding authortarianism on the left in the past 10 years.

I didn't ask why you believed anticrypto is leftist, I solely asked of you were arguing in good faith, why you believed you were justified asserting things without evidence. I don't really care about anything else you say until you prove to me you are a reasonable person. Everything else is just noise.

you will find it is the replies from others who frame things as a left-right binary.

You sure? Like, absolutely sure? Did you check?

All I asked was if you felt it was justified to assume everyone knows why you believe this is leftist. Do you consider yourself a reasonable person? That's more important to me than anything else you said at the moment.

And I question if the point of it is truely about protecting people or defining in-groups and out-groups and promoting ideological conformism.

My point is, who cares if this is part of the community's reasoning? All communities are defined by common beliefs.

its more telling that asking us to self reflect on what the contemporary left is evidently such a taboo.

Why do you feel like you can just drop that in without any explanation? Not everything falls into a left-right binary. Open discussions require both sides to be reasonable, you need to provide reasons for your claims, otherwise it's just noise.
