A lot of the times in dom-sub dynamics, when the submissive misbehaves-if it's consented to-you will have a punishment. You want something specific to fit the crime, basically. It's like a fresh set of eyes on your relationship. AI represents a unique evolution in how power is distributed for people into bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism-BDSM.

Similar realizations are happening across corporate America as companies grapple with how AI and chatbots are changing not only the way people work but also the way they consume information. That means businesses can no longer simply promote themselves to potential customers - they have to win over the robots, too. "There is a new influencer you need to reach, and it's this AI model," said Brian Stempeck, a co-founder of Evertune, an AI startup that helps companies analyze what chatbots are saying about them.

AI didn't kill customer support. It's rebuilding it

There were specialists monitoring dashboards, tuning AI behavior, debugging API failures, and iterating on knowledge workflows. One team member who had started their career handling customer questions over chat and email (resetting passwords, explaining features, troubleshooting one-off issues, and escalating bugs) was now writing Python scripts to automate routing. Another was building quality-scoring models for the company's AI agent. This seemed markedly different from the hyperbole I'd been hearing about customer support roles going away in large part due to AI.

After Google's AI Overviews awkwardly stumbled out the gate in 2024 ( pizza glue, anyone?) they've gradually become a staple of the Search experience.
