"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

TranscriptHere’s an example that Google’s Josh Woodward, VP of the Gemini app, Google Labs, and AI Studio, shared in a blog post about how Personal Intelligence can work. Google also put together a similar example in a video that I’ve embedded below:

For example, we needed new tires for our 2019 Honda minivan two weeks ago. Standing in line at the shop, I realized I didn’t know the tire size. I asked Gemini. These days any chatbot can find these tire specs, but Gemini went further. It suggested different options: one for daily driving and another for all-weather conditions, referencing our family road trips to Oklahoma found in Google Photos. It then neatly pulled ratings and prices for each. As I got to the counter, I needed our license plate. Instead of searching for it or losing my spot in line to walk back to the parking lot, I asked Gemini. It pulled the seven-digit number from a picture in Photos and also helped me identify the van’s specific trim by searching Gmail. Just like that, we were set.

Why would I want to watch that?

I barely watch streamers and I don't know much about kick, but isn't that where a lot of conservative streamers went?

It's the answer to your question. Yes, people are dumb enough that they treat AI as their own brain instead of attempting to find any information whatsoever, even when the information is directly in front of them. This phenomena is most visible on kick streams, where the dumbest possible people make more money than you ever will being a worse person than you (assuming you are not any of type of mentally ill that could be described as psychopathy) could ever be.

You could also just visit anywhere on the west coast of the US where younger gen z happens to exist in public and wait long enough. You'll hear a 'hey gemini' within 20 minutes followed by the dumbest possible question to ever leave the lips of a non-AI human form.
