Cons:
*Added stress of fighting traffic for no reason
*Added expense of gasoline for no reason
*More burning of fossil fuels for no reason
*Worse bathrooms that you have to share
*Worse kitchen that you have to share
*Worse dress code
*Less ergonomic office chair
*Worse monitors
*Slower Internet (in my case, at least)
*More annoying disruptions from coworkers
*Less peace and quiet needed for concentration
*Have to sit in traffic yet again after you get off work
Pros:
*Managers get to feel more important when seeing all their little worker bees’ butts in their chairs.
*Promotes shitty “office culture”
*Corporate real estate owners get to keep collecting rent
They definitely nerfed it. We will probably end up in a situation where corporations and the rich have access to god-tier AI, and everyone else has access to mediocre, ad-supported AI.
I avoid Google products as much as possible these days, especially anything launched within the last 2-3 years, because it will soon be abandoned and unsupported. Their search results are worse than they have ever been. The only Google app I actually like is Google Maps.
