A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I think yes. Look at how long they've been trying to cram voice assistants down our throats. There's no point at which they'll say "no, I don't think these are ready yet, let's pull them back".
I mean - I still don’t use them so - ? And knowing they’re infected with AI, I wouldn’t use them for anything other than the simplest, statistically-improbable-to-get-wrong tasks.
You’d be surprised, Google voice commands have gotten so bad it can’t toggle a light. Things as simple as “define: word” are now a 50/50 of working or spitting out some random crap unrelated to what was attempted to be looked up. I’ve stopped using the little speakers for anything other than streaming music while cooking.
And yet they are still here
I guess - i mean, the smallpox virus is still here too, it’s just very unpopular and not very profitable.
