"It's so great! It automatically writes the [wrong] answers to everything for you!"
So many things just needs something that looks right and is not too long or too short. Nobody will actually read it with some thought. It only matters that it exists.
For bureaucratic bullshit like that AI is a godsend.
Only if you're working with sycophants or morons.
Unfortunately, there are a LOT of those in life...
In many things you need to be accredited by a third party according to some standards and they audit you periodically. They demand that you have shitload of plans, programs, reports, logs and other paperwork required by those standards.
Auditors mostly only care that the paperwork exists and only focus on the contents on key aspects that are usually clear and short.
It's also powered by ChatGPT, and by powered I mean it's literally chatGPT and a bunch of code I stole thanks to YouTube videos anyways GIVE ME MONEY.
I hope! Imagine if Nvidia had to care about gamers and make affordable graphics cards for them again...
Let's not fool ourselves, Nvidia still dominating gaming GPU market, people gonna buy them regardless of how much they fuck everyone over
I just hope it happens before it ruins too many companies and a lot of people lose their jobs.
Hey, just four days ago their selling point was that it had a rainbow on it.
Anything to make a buck.
At least the rainbow one will continue to work, without monthly payments, until it runs out of ink.
Unfortunately, it will only continue to work for another two weeks because pride merchandise is made as cheaply as possible.
Yeah, but they make the stuff to appease them queer folks especially cheap. Why not save a buck when you only have to care about them one month a year?
Classic MBA holders. They don't understand where their companies profitably comes from and why, and are just trying to squeeze out profits. What parasites. Ah if I could deworm them. Individually. Up the butt kek. With actual dewormer. Maybe they'd get their act together.
Remember when that janitorial company changed its name to include the term CRYPTO and it's stock went through the roof and the SEC investigated them for fraud?
I can't find the story unfortunately
AI is the new IoT. You're gonna see it jammed into shit it has no business being in. And it's gonna cause major problems 10 years from now.
Yeah, smart washing machine i have just complicates process for no reason, i mean, if i gonna launch or stop machine then i should be near so i can unload clothes to dry, and if I'm near, then why the hell I'm needed wifi smartphone controlled one? Sadly it was the cheapest one for my size (amount of clothes) requirements
What a company calls "AI powered" in fact is stolen data and or underpaid workers on the periphery of capitalism
It’s like the late ‘90s where they tried to connect every common activity to the internet, like bar codes in the newspaper for coupons online.
They got it “right” when they stopped trying to make non-internet things direct you to the internet and just moved the non-internet things to the internet.
Now they’re trying to cram AI into everything. What’s the next step…moving your brain into the AI?
Yup. They don't understand what it is or what it does. All they know is that it makes even dumber venture capitalists open their wallets.
The PR Marketing guys sure don't, but the actual Machine Learning and AI computer scientists sure do!
I'd wager a lot of marketing people only skim the basic surface of what it does and just plaster it to their supervisors without you know.. working with the ACTUAL technical experts in that field.
Plus they think the non techie is a dum dum who don't know no better.
"It has a smooth finish, virtually indestructible, and it writes upside-down." [None of these will be true] "Also, with our Ink Anytime subscription service, you'll never run out of ink! It's free..." [for the first six months] "for our lowest tier..." [three lines of text per day] "with an option to upgrade to a higher tier anytime." [Puts pen in pocket] "We're offering pre-orders with a $5 non-refundable deposit, with delivery expected sometime in the next six months depending on how soon you get on the waitlist." [Two years until you give up and just let us keep your deposit] "So sign up now!"
The answer to the original riddle is "Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I'll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100."
I always thought a good one was to put the pen in your pocket and refuse to give it back. Make him name his price. Clearly it's yours, not his. Otherwise how could you sell it to him?
That's why my proposed solution is to take the phone though. Much more valuable hostage.
There was some LLM-powered pen in the makings, I haven't heard about it since. Was part of the Rabbit/AI Pin style of AI junk.
There are pencils like the Uni Kuru Toga line which have a motor to create auto-rotating lead, and the Pentel Orenz Nero 0.2mm which constantly pushes out lead so you don't have to keep clicking. So... close enough?
I had to talk to some company's chatbot yesterday that was just if/else powered. That sure was cumbersome to do. It couldn't even tell me the company's mailing address.
I was forced to use bing while searching for some info on the internet, when I'd click on what looked like a useful result, I would instead get CoPilot slowly summarizing the info I needed back to me, and obscuring the source... Who the fuck though that was a good idea?
That’s when they don’t want you to bother them with shit you could’ve read on their website (or a more restricted FAQ), but also care about not telling you bullshit. So rather than going full AI with hallucinations and what not, they give you predetermined answers in a “friendly” AI-ish way.
