Would you try to use
#AI
in your everyday operations processes? In this video, an operator asks an AI assistant to help manage bare metal, configure a server, and recover a failure. It goes about as well as you would expect:

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':
