    convert these Postman JSON collections to JMeter load tests

    Just use jmeter! Jmeter and corpo-curl are two different tools, it’s really not that hard to design your own test plans.

    I also don’t understand making the receptionist do it, e2e tests are actually important and should be designed by someone familiar with the system they are testing.

    Convert the PDF to a fillable form

    You mean ocr? The thing that we already had an ai boom/bust cycle about in the 60s?! The thing the USPS has used to read chickenscratch addresses on all envelopes since the 70s?

    Here, this project has been filling your exact use case for more than a dozen years now: https://github.com/ocrmypdf

    and make sure the fillable fields are properly located between the lines of the field names they correspond to" and then it just does it and now applicants can apply online and you didn’t have to pay an expensive human to do menial one-off work in applications they don’t really know.

    There’s a ton of dumb, time-wasting shit you don’t have to do anymore because you can just make the robot do it. It’s not all just straight plagiarism and stealing artwork and dead Internet propaganda-bot garbage. You can use it for good or evil. The power generation and inefficiency are still unsolved problems, the super aggressive build-out arms race is pure idiocy and we absolutely need to slow this whole thing down, and I’ll never forgive these greedy fucks for ruining the PC components market every few years, first crypto now this, but there are use cases that allow people to do things they couldn’t otherwise do.

    Properly used, AI is a force multiplier. Improperly used, it’s a resource-burning race to the bottom, but if you can’t think of legitimate uses for a general-purpose software robot you can tell to do tedious stuff in plain language and it’ll just do it with a bit of guidance, then I don’t know what to tell you.

    Big wall of nothing, didn’t read.
