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.

Your comment perfectly describes itself.

Only if you're working with sycophants or morons.

Unfortunately, there are a LOT of those in life...

I just hope it happens before it ruins too many companies and a lot of people lose their jobs.

I like your optimism that people won't be fired anyway.

Hey, just four days ago their selling point was that it had a rainbow on it.

Anything to make a buck.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

At least the rainbow one will continue to work, without monthly payments, until it runs out of ink.

Epson & HP stocks in free-fall following this revelation.

Unfortunately, it will only continue to work for another two weeks because pride merchandise is made as cheaply as possible.

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

[–] corus_kt 16 points 4 months ago

Could it be related to Long Blockchain Corp?

It shocks you when you make a grammatical or spelling mistake.

What a company calls "AI powered" in fact is stolen data and or underpaid workers on the periphery of capitalism

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or some Indian guy clicking images/answering questions for 3 cents a set.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

yeah, underpaid workers on the periphery of capitalism

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Moving the “AI” into your brain, rather

[–] NutWrench 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tekkip20 6 points 4 months ago

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!"

Ah, early pioneers in PaPaaS (Pen and Paper as a Service).

[–] setsneedtofeed 15 points 4 months ago (5 children)

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."

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.

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.

[–] Bytemeister 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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?

The AI arm race has done so much damage to the environment and is creating more ewaste also. It sucks.

I've seen a DankPods video about an "AI powered" rice cooker, turns out it was a marketing tactic to sell more of them. It's actually just an ordinary rice cooker.

It's younger than 25.
