the incompetent segment of the PMC absolutely love the bullshit machine; all those people who cheat their way into professional degrees and get jobs from their aunt's country club friend think it's just so amazing how GOOD it is at stuff

Please tell me one of the fictional cases was from an Ace Attorney game.
lawyers should have a no second chances disbarment for that shit.
Why does this keep happening
Why are the lawyers always surprised that the plausibly-sounding bullshit machine put out plausibly-sounding bullshit
Because a lot of people are sold the idea that the bullshit machine isn't a bullshit machine, it's a magic "do everything" machine. They hear the buzzwords and never look further and just assume it must be great because so many people are talking about it. Or they hear speculation about what it "could" do and mistake that for an actual claim about what it currently does, like any good grift product or pyramid scheme.
Tech illiteracy is a widespread and serious problem today. Everything is computer but very few people have any idea of what a computer is or what it can and can't do.
I remember being in school and being taught not to trust computers, that they can get things wrong and are only as good as the person who programmed them. It really does seem like Millenials were the only group to ever get that message hammered into them (And a lot of us didn't listen anyway).
It helps we actually had computers to work on during Lab class and not Chrome books.
Linda McMahon, Trump's secretary of education, thinks it's called A1. The US is a deeply unserious country.
I would rather America be run by the steak sauce.
Being ruled over by the people from the TV sucks and is extremely fitting for the times we live in.
Hearing that information literally caused me psychic damage.
“But…..COMpOOPeR!!1!1! It DA fOoooture!”
Well a lot of lawyering involves creating plausibly sounding bullshit, specially when you're defending a horrible piece of shit
It is dangerous to be an enemy of Trump. It is deadly to be a friend of Trump.
Where is pillow man's savior now?
atleast check all the cases mentioned come on!
that's impossible, since it requires some degree of expertise, which is literally inconceivable for these people. in their view, anyone positioning themselves as having a rare (or sometimes just slightly uncommon) skill is actively trying to defraud you by making you pay them to do something that would be easy for you to do yourself. i think this evolved out of a devaluing of "low skill" jobs. eventually it was used as a criticism of Pollock-style modern art, you know, the "i could paint that" thing. the fact that it has become a general criticism of any professional category is deeply funny to me.
