  • I never wanted AI on my phone, period. I don’t care which one. The Google Assistant was more than enough, if not too much. Never got asked if I wanted any of this shit, it was just forcefully added into every fucking thing.

    My old ass phone, Google pushed out AI. (I plan to swap to GrapheneOS soon). It’s less useful than Assistant. And features are disappearing.

    My Windows 10 PC… fucking AI added. To be honest, never opened it.

    Because I use Android Auto when driving, technically, thanks to Google, I have AI there too. And as stated, it’s less functional than the original assistant.

    Drive-thru… AI. It’s slower and less accurate than a person. Only upside, because it doesn’t have a budget mic from the 1980’s it’s clearer than a person.

    Work… AI. Co-Pilot for VSCode, as a tool, it’s fine, get’s a lot wrong. But I had some upper manager claim they recreated DoorDash in like 5 minutes with AI (clearly they didn’t). We just had a recent wave of layoffs (I survived). But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…

    News?.. AI. Both good or bad news about it, I’m just so fucking sick of the exact same things. Trump, AI, Trump, AI, Trump, AI… that’s all it is, all the time. Just how both are fucking everyone.



  • Why? Because YT’s automation process is so regularly crap I assume it might work.

    I can’t speak to guidelines, as I don’t regularly read those. But the “crying girl” AI that’s drop shipping things, or the AI girl talking about sex (in a non educational space), (and there’s more) and they all have links to external pages… feels like at best right now it’s exploiting a gray area. Some are just AI where they create situations for views, which, meh. But they’re not clearly labeled as “this is AI, this is fake, this is for entertainment only”. Not to use a slipper slope argument, but once it gets to the point it’s hard for people to quickly see it’s AI, this could easily (and pretty sure it’s already happened) be used to fake situations and get people riled up about literally nothing. Like we could start seeing videos of fake police violence. Which does nobody any good.


  • I really think a lot of CEO’s out there thinking “Wow, this is so cheap” and really expect it to stay like that.

    With employees, they get to just deny raises and laugh all the way to the bank. But when your ‘agents’ are owned by another company who’s also trying to make a profit, when they jack up the price 20% you don’t get to just be like “oh, times are tough, CEO needed a new yacht, sorry”. And the more you cut out people, the more specialized ‘agents’ you’ll need to purchase because genuine creativity will be gone.

    Has AI spontaneously invented\created something that hasn’t existed? Has it been able to take a real working process and find ways to improve it (like, looking at CPU/GPU architecture and improving it)?




  • I mean true in some cases maybe. But literally every company is looking to find ways to make the imaginary number in the stock market go up. Which means outsourcing jobs to places like India or Southeast Asia (and exploiting them), for ‘contractors,’ and then probably equipping them with AI so they can actually do something.

    How McDonald’s spent who knows how much money to put in different drive-thru speakers. They’ve tried multiple times to use call centers out of India so they don’t have to pay someone local. I’ve lost count of how many different drive-throughs I’ve gone through and just got an AI agent taking my order. They will literally use AI so they don’t have to pay somebody minimum wage.











  • My mom regularly got after me to make my bed. I never saw the point. I’m wasting my time to make it look neat… for no one, only for me to mess it up the following night. I didn’t see the point then, I don’t see the point now.

    So my solution to not getting yelled at. I stopped sleeping under the covers. I just slept on top. For a while, she thought I was making my bed, but eventually I wore out a spot on the top of the comforter. That’s when she figured it out. Then she was made I wasn’t using the blankets for their intended use (to keep someone warm). I as a child, would rather freeze than make the damn bed.
