Do they care? No! Will they push more AI? Yes! Will they listen to the consumers? I don’t think so.
Same thing happens with lot of products over the years. Companies push new stuff that we don’t want, and a year later becomes a regular thing! They push AI day by day, from websites AI chat help to in app AI assistant. Do consumers like it? No, but still you gonna find it everywhere! and now they push it in computers and looks what it happens! No sales!Call me crazy, but at some point, they need to look at their data or their consumers and do the right thing.
It’s maddening that they did actually take away the headphone jack from all modern phones and there’s nothing we can do about it even though it objectively sucks
maddening how many details i have to filter phones for these days, (no oled (very bad experience with fragility of pixel4), ideally no cancer unremovable bloatware or LineageOS support (which needs Snapdragon cpu), fucking headphone jack…)
One of the mistakes they made with AI was introducing it before it was ready (I’m making a generous assumption by suggesting that “ready” is even possible). It will be extremely difficult for any AI product to shake the reputation that AI is half-baked and makes absurd, nonsensical mistakes.
This is a great example of capitalism working against itself. Investors want a return on their investment now, and advertisers/salespeople made unrealistic claims. AI simply isn’t ready for prime time. Now they’ll be fighting a bad reputation for years. Because of the situation tech companies created for themselves, getting users to trust AI will be an uphill battle.
The battle is easy. Buy out and collude with the competition so the customer has no choice but to purchase a AI device.
This would only work for a service that customers want or need
AI is going to be this eras Betamax, HD-Dvd, or 3d TV glasses. It doesn’t do what was promised and nobody gives a shit.
No, I’m sorry. It is very useful and isn’t going away. This threads is either full of Luddites or disingenuous people.
nobody asked you to post in this thread. you came and posted this shit in here because the thread is very popular, because lots and lots of people correctly fucking hate generative AI
so I guess please enjoy being the only “non-disingenuous” bootlicker you know outside of work, where everyone’s required (under implicit threat to their livelihood) to love this shitty fucking technology
but most of all: don’t fucking come back, none of us Luddites need your mid ass
It’s not care. Its want. We don’t want AI.
FR I think more people actively dislike it, which is a form of care.
Whenever I ask random people who are not on IT, they either don’t know about it or they love it.
People who don’t know what it is are often amazed by how much it looks like a real person and don’t even think about the answers it gives being right or not.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but I honestly can’t think of any practical use case for AI in my day-to-day routine.
ML algorithms are just fancy statistics machines, and to that end, I can see plenty of research and industry applications where large datasets need to be assessed (weather, medicine, …) with human oversight.
But for me in my day to day?
I don’t need a statistics bot making decisions for me at work, because if it was that easy I wouldn’t be getting paid to do it.
I don’t need a giant calculator telling me when to eat or sleep or what game to play.
I don’t need a Roomba with a graphics card automatically replying to my text messages.
Handing over my entire life’s data just so a ML algorithm might be able to tell me what that one website I visited 3 years ago that sold kangaroo testicles was isn’t a filing system. There’s nothing I care about losing enough to go the effort of setting up copilot, but not enough to just, you know, bookmark it, or save it with a clear enough file name.
Long rant, but really, what does copilot actually do for me?
How about real-time subtitles on movies in any language you want that are always synced?
VLC is working on that with the use of LLMs
We’ve had speech to text since the 90s. Current iterations have improved, like most technology has improved since the 90s. But, no, I wouldn’t buy a new computer with glaring privacy concerns for real time subtitles in movies.
