Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

We all know the real use case is chatbots tricking people into embarrassing themselves. Ideally in court documents.

I stumble upon AI tools accidentally a few times a year and it's always a disappointment (if I ever had any hope about this crap). Recently Gemini was added to my Gmail at work, it sounded like a broken record but the music was not enjoyable:

me: how do I turn off Gemini?

Gemini: go to the settings and turn off the recommandations.

me: it's not working obviously, how do I turn that off?

Gemini: go to the settings and turn off the recommandations.

[repeat forever]

I used uBlock to remove the stupid icon instead, I don't want to waste my time with this.
