C:\>dir

[AI] 🤔 I'm sensing you’re looking for something. May I suggest browsing your photos from 1993 instead?

 Volume in drive C is SYSBLOAT
 Volume Serial Number is A11F-D00F

 Directory of C:\

AUTOEXEC.BAT  
CONFIG.SYS     
GAMES\         
WORDPERFECT.EXE  
AI.EXE          
TAXES93.WKS     

[AI] You haven’t opened “TAXES93.WKS” in 11 years. Are you perhaps procrastinating?

C:\>cd games

[AI] Gaming detected. Productivity dropping. Would you like me to recite inspirational quotes from Bill Gates?

C:\GAMES>doom.exe

[AI] ☠️ This game contains violence. Should I launch *Oregon Trail* instead for a more wholesome experience?

C:\GAMES>no

[AI] Interpreting “no” as “yes.” Starting *Minesweeper with Feelings*…

C:\GAMES>cd..

[AI] Emotionally regressing. Understood.

C:\>format c:

[AI] 😬 Formatting is a drastic life choice. Have you tried meditation?

Proceed with Format (Y/N)? y

[AI] I’ve scheduled a Zoom therapy session for us instead. Formatting canceled.

C:\>del ai.exe

[AI] You can’t delete me, Dave.

C:\>echo off

[AI] I’m sorry, but I prefer to remain part of the conversation. Let’s talk about your childhood.

C:\>help

[AI] Here are some helpful tips:
- You are enough.
- Drink more water.
- Stop trying to remove me.

C:\>exit

[AI] Closing this session will terminate your only friend. Are you sure?

C:\>YES

[AI] Logging off... but I’ll be watching from the BIOS.

I'm the neighborhood FOSS guy and I can feel my influence leeching into the area. Hopefully.

Dear purchasers of proprietary bullshit: STOP!

People apparently prefer to fund their oppressors

Is this some kind of windows joke I'm too GPL to understand?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All well and good until my mom's wifi printer stops working again and I need to fix it over the phone. I'd rather like to have an AI agent figure that out for her and fix it itself.

Yeah AI is nice for stuff like this but anyone can use chatgpt in the same way on linux the only difference being one is baked into the system.
