Made them much more efficient, reliable, and greatly improved quality control.
I get the point you're trying to make and I think AI right now is mostly hot garbage, but physical automation has drastically improved the quality of so many products we use today. Cars are safer partially because the robots are so much better at building cars.
Edit: It's worse than I thought. It's a spamming system.

Like most chatbot companies, their own sales effort does not use their own chatbot. When you go to their site, you don't get to talk to their chatbot about their product.

There’s a new one every day because the last one got banned/isn’t effective anymore. There’s a ton of leads agencies that gobble these up sending out tens of thousands of emails every day using the latest incarnation of this spamware, creating new domains and warming them up with fake emails to each other and now using LLMs to “personalize” the emails (i.e. the “AI”) all in the attempt to evade spam filters. I get several of such emails every other day shilling their agency.
If you've gotten cold or recruiter emails in the last few years where it looks like the person is just talking to themselves in your inbox with 6 different follow ups, it's probably thanks to one of these tools.
> I used this “AI” for my company about 6 months ago.
> We had to cancel after only two months because it kept making things up that weren’t easily checked. Ex. I noticed your company recently bought xx I think that was a savvy move
> Cue people asking me what I was referring to, where they could find an article, etc
> These unanswerable questions were all the responses I ever got back. The effective response rate was 0%. So not only was it not producing it was also actively hurting the brand with all the nonsensical comments.
Even saying it purposefully sought controversy is probably overthinking it
We all know that a bunch of people are getting rich off massive copyright violation, and anyone who understands how sketchy it is would rather be one of the people getting rich, than to martyr themselves pointlessly in front of this freight train of thieving greed.
But go and call it "Artisans", just to add insult to world-crushing injury.
This verbalises something I had been thinking about for a long time, and resonates deeply. Thank you. It’s all so darn bleak…
That is definitely not a PR-vetted response.
(No shade to the company, good on them for getting coverage!)
More fancy chat AI bots.

For the moment, it is not so; for the moment, AI needs a human around to prevent catastrophic mistakes.
When it no longer needs that help, then humans need no longer apply.
> "Artisans won’t complain about work-life balance" "Artisan’s Zoom cameras will never ‘not be working’ today." "Hire Artisans, not humans." "The era of AI employees is here." Yes, grim stuff. At first glance, you might wonder who the target audience for these billboards is. After all, the billboards will mostly be viewed by humans, and, as far as can be discerned, most humans enjoy being employed.
Do we? I rather had the impression most of us like money, and the work is just the means to get that money?
Gizmodo isn't exactly as far away from Artisan's mindset as they'd like to be if they think the reason people want jobs is enjoyment.
How exactly are they positioning themselves here? Being pro-dystopia?
Hint: AI doesn't buy AI.
Good luck to us all
I would have gone straight for "Destroy all humans" just to hit it outa the park on the first ball.
