I’m just a librarian, standing in front of every non-librarian writing about ChatGPT , AI, & librarianship, asking them for the love of all that’s holy to watch Desk Set. The HR rules sure have changed since 1957, but the basic story still applies.
ALT GIF of a dark haired woman and white haired man standing in front of a pixelated wall of light arguing while a very large 1950s era computer prints out paper. The dark haired woman angrily points to a red haired woman standing on the other side of the computer. It’s a scene from the 1957 movie Desk Set.
