I'm not a huge fan of AI in between myself and a human, but for 311 calls (Hack writer Joe Wilkins states 911) I think would be ok. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-dispatch-911-new-orleans-emergency-automation?utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=futurism-newsletter

10 AI automation ideas you can build today with no code: the 3 that actually saved me time

Everyone posts "10 AI automations" lists, but most of them are fake. Here are 3 from the list I actually run, all no-code, all free: 1. **Email triage bot**: a webhook that reads your inbox, summarizes non-urgent mail into one daily Discord digest, and only pages you for urgent stuff. Killed my morning inbox anxiety. 2. **Self-healing webhook**: the boring one that matters most: a watchdog that checks your automation is alive every 5 minutes and rebuilds it if it dies. My bot quietly f...

AI Fatigue?

Am I the only one experiencing this? Between trying to make sure the machine understands my prompts, refusals, lags, hallucinations - I'm finding myself using it less and less. Is this happening to anyone else or just me?
