.As do I, similar to the "dot.com" craze/crash except this one could
have a lot more consequences.
AI, even when compared to something like a total station (which is now used in >construction most of the time before any decent project starts), used to give >gridlines, elevations, other very accurate point data, and many other things
If the person/people controlling this stuff is an idiot, there's no limit to >what these things can and can't do aside from what they're _supposed_ to do.)
I also think they are trying to use it for things it is not meant to
do, which is why it is good at giving accurate point data but not so
great at trying to think like a human.
Which also brings up the point that a good percentage of humans are getting dumber, and lazier.

For sure. Which also brings up the point that a good percentage of
humans are getting dumber, and lazier (in my experience, I point at architects and engineers making construction drawings with far less
detail that now basically needs to be figured out in the field, and
when asked about said details, they take a week or more to respond -
half the time coming back with an answer that doesn't even pertain to
the problem at hand, which can hold up the entire construction process
and add to the frustration of trying to get a job done on time, and
under budget).

Pffft, I've known that for decades.
I find the number of times I write an email and get a response that
doesn't fully answer the question I asked increasing. I don't know if
it's a lack of reading comprehension, a desire to do the least amount
needed to check a box in their brain, or something else - but the lead
time and the need for multiple emails is frustrating.
I'm also suffering from short-timer's syndrome, going to be going
through an organizational change soon and not having to deal with some
of these people. Makes everything rub that much more.
Considering the field we are discussing... building construction...
that is actually pretty scary.

So glad that I'm not the only one noticing this.

I watched "Idiocracy" very soon after I posted that (a day or two ago), and all the answers just fell into place. :)

Definitely. And it's only going to get worse as long as schools keep telling kids to go to college, where they'll choose some easy degree they'll never use in the real world.
You're definitely not. This happens to me every day on the job... it is a bit disturbing.

We keep seeing commercials for the game show "Wipeout", and my wife
insists we're one step away from "Ow, my balls!"

The bubble had burst before covid, I'd thought - that having a degree,
any degree, meant the real possibility of a job out of college.
The lack of common sense in workplaces is increasing, It should be
listed as a requirement on job descriptions nowadays..
