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.

The only thing I want AI to do for me is to make digital voice assistants not terrible. So far, that has not happened and literally everything else is worse instead.

ChatGPT voice has been good. Hallucinates out the ass, but is okay. Can seamlessly swap between Arabic and English is the main thing.

So what you're saying is, never mind what it's producing is bullshit as long as it's saying it convincingly? 🙂

No, I'm saying that it is hands down the best at comprehending and translating Arabic, down to dialects.

Right, thanks. Couldn't help the snark but I'm glad you cleared it up.

Ah, yes. I installed Gemini, asked it the time, and it gave me a time. It was off by 4 hours and like 5 minutes, but it did give me a time.

I quit using it right after that.

This will be the litmus test for me too. Open an AI chat when I have an issue I need to solve and have the bot actually....help me do it, even just a little.

The only things I want AI to do for me is stuff that would be achieved more efficiently by just writing a script to pull the info I need out of the files I'm working on... Oh, will you look at that, that's exactly what we've been working with for years now! Now if my boss could accept that instead of trying to shove AI down our throats it would be great!
