Here we are all these years later of AI changing our lives, yet Google Assistant/Gemini still tells me it’s now streaming Madonna’s Vogue on Spotify, when I ask it to turn the lights on. AI’s chats are still a mix of commonly achievable search results (that you’d have just as quick if you typed it in yourself) and a bunch of mumbo jumbo that’s often quite wrong or misleading. Ask it to spit out a bunch of code, and that code is about as useful as peanut butter on a pile of vomit. Maybe you’ll get it to create a picture of people eating at McDonald’s, except they have beetlejuiced sized heads, Picasso expressions on the faces of the people in the background, and everyone’s got six toes and foot long fingers.
It’s still quite impressive, don’t get me wrong, but we need to tell the boomers and the stock market that it’s time to take the excitement from a ten, to a two.
This sounds like the account of someone that hasn’t actually used the technology recently and/or given it a fair shot
I’ve not had any misunderstandings by Google assistant or Alexa in ages, and LLM produced code works great for me now provided you’re explicit enough in the way you instruct it (meaning you still need to understand what you want it to do)
Image generation is great for if you want a quick illustration, inspiration or a meme, not much practical benefit besides that imo
trying to come up with new places to shove AI
Ivd got one for them.
It’s my ass.
AI is the replacement for the paperless society.
