Are people finally getting sick and tired of artificial intelligence?

AI voices, AI-generated photos, AI commercials, chatbots and automated phone systems are showing up everywhere.

But, instead of making life easier, all that artificial interaction may be making people crave something increasingly difficult to find: an actual human being.

AI can be a fantastic tool, but have companies gone too far by using it to replace human interaction?

Because there’s a big difference between using AI to help employees do their jobs and using AI to avoid dealing with customers altogether.

I wonder whether businesses have really thought about AI fatigue and what could happen when customers finally decide they’ve had enough.

Employers keep complaining they can't find dependable workers. Maybe the problem isn't a shortage of good workers. Maybe their computers keep rejecting them.

For many people over 50, getting a part-time job today means getting past online applications, automated screening systems and algorithms that may overlook decades of valuable life and work experience.

Perhaps employers might want to stop relying so heavily on robots and start looking at the actual people applying for their jobs.

Why does my refrigerator need Wi-Fi? Why does my oven need an app? And why should my toaster ever need a software update?

Internet-connected "smart" appliances are supposed to make life easier, but they also create entirely new ways for things to go spectacularly wrong.

Just ask the military commissaries where internet-connected freezers at 18 establishments around the world recently went into extended defrost mode and tons of frozen food reportedly had to be discarded.

I wonder whether we're really making our appliances smarter or just making simple things unnecessarily complicated.

Because my refrigerator has only one job: Keep the food cold!
