I could see that. AI seems like an expensive solution to just getting people to stop clicking “reply all” though.
Kinda crazy that the easier solution may not be changing people’s behavior, but creating an entire system capable of reading and understanding text.
Nothing it does is anything we haven’t seen before. And if Siri is any indication, it won’t be all that useful in the real world.
The problem I see with AI is that it seemingly takes just as long to figure out how to ask the AI what you want as it takes going into the app and just reading an email or writing a message. And then when it summarizes, how can you really trust that it hasn’t misconstrued something that you could have caught by reading it?
It’s also a symptom of the way American cities and suburbs are designed. Where are the third places where you can walk to for hanging out after work? Where are the parks with restaurants, events, space for exercise? And even if they do exist, you’re packing up your car to be outside maybe once a week (because it’s a big thing to get your kid in the car) instead of just stepping out of the house.
Living life in most of the US is designed to feel lonely.
I’m sorry, their problem is that the massive trucks are somehow in danger because they weren’t designed to handle being hit by a vehicle less than half its size?
What a ridiculous statement.
We need to require special licenses for those behemoths.
I’d prefer they get banned entirely because there’s really no practical use for them that isn’t solved by some other commercial vehicle.
It’s about the restrictions they put in place on those who have bought their products. They make it extremely hard to leave their ecosystem, overcharge for services, and prevent interoperability with other products.
They’re only just now allowing RCS to try getting out ahead of these lawsuits. But they still don’t allow side-loading (forcing developers to use their store so they can charge 30% on all sales), don’t allow third-party app stores, and don’t allow third-party browser engines (forcing everyone to reskin Safari).
Plus, in the US, Apple has 55% market share as just one company. The next highest is Samsung at 25%.
So yeah, they can play monopolistic games.
It’s the replacement for SMS… Are you upset that WiFi phone calls are tied to your phone number?
Bruh, same team, same fight.
How could they not see how hypocritical that is?
And they rightly fucking deserve it.
If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn’t matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.
Personally, that’s exactly what’s happening to me. I’ve seen enough that AI can’t be trusted to give a correct answer, so I don’t use it for anything important. It’s a novelty like Siri and Google Assistant were when they first came out (and honestly still are) where the best use for them is to get them to tell a joke or give you very narrow trivia information.
There must be a lot of people who are thinking the same. AI currently feels unhelpful and wrong, we’ll see if it just becomes another passing fad.
Google has been bad for a long time, but they’ve shut the bed so hard lately. Seriously, look at this:
I actually run out of screenshot space before I can get to an actual regular search result!
All to do what? Write emails and generate mediocre pictures?
The usefulness of AI currently is not much better than predictive text.
Isn’t that generally how Lemmy and Reddit organize posts?
I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.
Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas
It’s for Minecraft, haha
I want buttons with two sides, buttons with multiple steps, I want buttons on buttons! Give me buttons made of shirt buttons, one button, two buttons, red buttons, blue buttons. BUTTONS!
