Oh hello, strawman!

I didn't say LLMs.

I said AI.

So.......

Are there any practical examples of applied AI these days?

Edit: lol at the downvotes for asking a genuine question!

Those scenarios can be solved. From "4-hour sofa slots are reserved for groups of three or more people" to "Sofas are reserved to 1-hour max."

In the end, as it is now, people are overstaying anyway.

Pro-tip: Even in a loud place you can (and should!) speak with your normal voice (e.g. no shouting) when having your mouth an inch or two from the other person's ear. They will hear you just fine, even if you can't hear yourself.

This could be solved by a system of reservations. You know... "Ok, one coffee and a sandwich. You have three seating choices: 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. Which one do you want? 30 minutes? Ok! Here's your hourglass."

Navigation gestures... I opted for the buttons instead. And I surely miss the physical buttons.

I hate, hate, hate, that I can't turn off the "At a glance" top section as well as the "Google search" bottom section in my Pixel home screen.

They got rid of the Google Assistant microphone icon that I could tap and say stuff like "remind me to buy milk in 2 hours," and replaced it with a similar icon that does voice search. Yuk (and no, shaking, squeezing, gestures or activating the always on 'hey google' prompt are not worthy replacements.)

Are there any practical examples of applied AI these days? Like, used in robotics or computer applications?

And what is that reason?

Many things us humans do are "unfortunate" because we don't know any better. 2000 years from know, humans might say that it was "unfortunate" that humans used fossil fuels, or wore high heels. Instead of regretting the past, be the change you want to be.

I agree with you, but I'm still curious.

How do we handle dates before epoch 0?

Edit: I guess we'll use negative numbers.

if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

Not what you said at the beginning, but if we take this new one, let's just say that it's a false equivalency and call it a day.

You're no better than the disconnected billionaires and politicians.
