This shit is not Artifical Intellegence. It's an internet scrabbing software that understands your input then searches and summerizes the answer back to you in your language....AND so many times it makes mistakes while trying to even do that. 0 intellegence, 0 creativety, 0 feelings/empathy/sympathy , 0 everythign. In programming, it's like a computer-science intern on methamphadmines. he's searching stackoverflow and githubs repos for any question you have, but again he will never come up with a new geniuos unseen before scripts of programming and he may make mistakes.

Also, it brainrotted the skill of learning itself to kids and killed our interactions and creativity

Soon you'll get one or two prompts a day, then be pay walled.

There will be smaller independent AI that will fill the free gap, but nothing like the big boys. You'll also be judged in job interviews for what AI you do use. Hell, it's already a question asked.

Gotta roll with the changes or be left behind sadly.

I mostly have this gemini assitant because google esentially added it for me. Of course i tried a bit of gpt. My advice is that, if they're good there's a chance that they many not be anymore in the future. Or not how you expect them to be. We have to make it good too, but right now the world is hooked with AI.

I have seen to much ai spam to care for ai images, there is this youtube series with ai assisted animations (monoverse, neural viz), that is the only good use of ai i ever seen so far in media creation. But, other than that, it's getting distopian out there.

they look forward to turning chatbots into a sea of spam:

We expect rapid adoption of advertising models, transaction fees, affiliate revenue, and marketplace models.

We're doomed.

In the last weeks Pinterest became unusable imo. The AI "sea of spam" is no joke. 7 in 10 posts are ads now. AI ads. Every one of them is a grotesque AI mimic of the content you're viewing, all words meaningless gibberish. The things on the thumbnails suggest, but you can't make things really out by just seeing the thumbnails.

So i clicked them a few times too much. First by curiosity, then by mistake, because Pinterest does everything to make an ad look like a post.

7 in 10 posts.

After all these years successfully procrastinating with Pinterest, it has become a dopamine blocking experience.

That is known & not a problem for the megacorps.

They are building an environment where using AI will be a must (like smartphones that spy on you have become today).

At that point it becomes overpriced & will under-deliver (the monopolistic enshitification of an already shitty offer).

epic

Enshittify faster pls

For reference, the "Hopeless Dipshit Percentage" in any population is about 25-33%.

About a quarter to a third of the population believes in witches, ghosts and ESP; that the earth revolves around the sun; that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11; that Obama was born in Kenya; and that evolution and climate change are hoaxes. A third of the US population can't name a single right guaranteed by the constitution or even one branch of government. And a quarter of the population self-professes that they wouldn't stop supporting Trump no matter what he did.

In that context, only 3% willing to pay any money for AI is an utter failure. The LLM bubble needs to burst yesterday, and the whole Internet needs to roll back to 2022.

Seems a lot to be honest.

I’ve used it here and there for recipe inspiration based on what’s in my cupboard, but really don’t see any other use for it my life. I would drop it in an instant if it became chargeable because it’s pretty shit at most things otherwise.
