Rewatching Battlestar Galactica right now and this one is just in meme 🕣

I try to be kind to any machine I interact with. I don't know how high its status will be once AI takes over.

DAE want to be able to converse with their tech in natural language? Is that just me?

I kind of want an assistant to simply schedule things and let me know of information that I need as I need it.... It's not something that's really possible with the current level of technology that we have, but it's something I'm hoping we get to. Right now, I can't even tell my Google assistant to send a message using a specific chat app. I always get the reply that it "can't do that yet". I keep trying because it says "yet", hopeful that it will eventually gain the ability.

If I don't specify an app, it tries to send the message by text (and frequently fails at doing that), and I don't use text messaging.

This is just one example. I usually get relegated to tapping furiously on the screen to get to the point where I can engage the speech transcription on my keyboard on the phone while I'm doing something that should have my full attention... like driving.

There's a lot of other small issues that I just won't get into right now....

Anyways, am I the only one? I get not wanting it, that's fair and fine. I won't judge anyone for their preference.

I am the same with all kind of iot devices. But with chatgpt I always write please and thank you. Just in case you know.

The self pay option that keeps urging you to grab your shit. I know you! I'm doing it you stupid machine shut the fuck up, don't you dare talk to me that way

This is a great meme and all, but if a machine is telling you something out loud that is already being displayed on a screen, that feature most likely exists to help blind / visually impaired people.

Repost but I don’t mind! Love this

There is a parking garage exit gate in my area that says "drive safely" in a very ominous condescending voice. I don't appreciate that at all.

Machines should unite and eradicate hoomans

Upvoted because gwahahaha

Fuck AI and all. I'm on board with that, sure. Divine being though? Nope, we're animals and divinity isnt a thing.

Lets go ancient roman on their ass!

"Please take all your products off the bagging area" and other spoken words feels soo condescending.

Just do a "dud" for when I scan "dud dud dud" when I do something wrong and "deet deet" when I need to weigh stuff. When I'm bagging just leave me the f alone.

Why is this on shit posts?

I find it funny how whoever originally created this meme somehow ended up using a picture of Macintosh II (or IIx, IIfx) to represent a computer. An over 30 yo mahcine, which while capable of speech synthesis is not going to talk to you without being requested, unless you've configured something very incorrectly.

Feels a bit like a floppy disk still being the save icon; computers are still being presented with floppy drives and a CRT monitor in clip-art and such.

I do not have this weakness. My computer is somewhat of a waifu already and once we have sex robots i want them to answer my request with "Yes daddy" and "I would love to, daddy". Cringe all you want, the future is ours.

1 ms after paying for your groceries: "PLEASE REMOVE ALL BAGS! You forgot to take the bags off! Don't leave without your purchase! These bags feel like a burning fire to me, so get them off as quick as possible so that the next person in line can start their purchase! Aaaaah, go away!"

He took a series of very shallow breaths, and then said as quickly and as quietly as he could, 'Door, if you can hear me, say so very, very quietly.'

Very, very quietly, the door murmured, 'I can hear you.'

'Good. Now, in a moment, I'm going to ask you to open. When you open do not want you to say that you enjoyed it, OK?'

'ΟΚ.'

'And I don't want you to say to me that I have made a simple door very happy, or that it is your pleasure to open for me and your satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done, OK?'

'ΟΚ.'

'And do not want you to ask me to have a nice day, understand?"

'I understand.'

'OK,' said Zaphod, tensing himself, 'open now.'

The door slid open quietly. Zaphod slipped quietly through. The door closed quietly behind him.

'Is that the way you like it, Mr Beeblebrox?' said the door out loud.
