Isn't AI just another solution looking for a problem?

Posted by Mondo Fuego™ on July 6, 2026, 5:03 am

Copilot kept begging me to let it "help" me with a simple Excel spreadsheet which contained a list of items with prices and a total of the prices.

I thought "Well, let's see what this obnoxious intruder has to offer ... have at it."

It came back with the following useless info:

1. The # of items in the list
2. The average or mean price
3. The median price
4. Mode
5. Range
6. Highest and lowest price
7. Some other garbledygook like standard deviation etc.

I summarily proceeded to delete the Copilot app.

It’s also another “solution” looking to create massive profits.

And create another massive wealth transfer from us to them.

Another dot.com bubble about to burst

People and investors are beginning to catch on to the spin.

The frenzy to build massive resource-consuming AI data centers is absurd.

Proponents use the rationale that the datacenters are needed for FarceBoor, Instagram, TikToc and Nextdoor, 4 worthless diversions from reality.

Agree 100% - this won't be pretty
