Glad to hear I’m not the only one!

For the first time in years I thought about buying a new phone. The S23 Ultra, the previous versions had been improving significantly but the price was a factor. Then I got a promotion and figured I would splurge, the S24 Ultra, but it was all aout AI so I just stayed where I am…it does everything anyway.

I literally uninstalled and disabled every AI process and app in that latest galaxy AI update, which was the whole update btw. my reasons are:

1- privacy and data sharing.

2- the battery, cpu, ram of AI bloatware running in the background 247.

3- it was chaging and doing things which I didn’t want especially in the galary photo albums and camera AI modes.

I don’t know anyone who is actively looking for products that have “AI”.

It’s like companies drank their own Kool aid and think because they want AI, so do the consumers. I have no need for AI. My parents don’t even understand what it is. I can’t imagine Gen Z gives a hoot.

Okay but have you considered shoving AI down the throats of consumers and forcing them to use it? I say invest in more gigantic server farms!

LLM based AI was a fun toy when it first broke. Everyone was curious and wanted to play with it, which made it seem super popular. Now that the novelty has worn off, most people are bored and unimpressed with it. The problem is that the tech bros invested so much money in it and they are unwilling to take the loss. They are trying to force it so that they can say they didn’t waste their money.

Honestly they’re still impressive and useful it’s just the hype train overload and trying to implement them in areas they either don’t fit or don’t work well enough yet.

AI does a good job of generating character portraits for my TTRPG games. But, really, beyond that I haven’t found a good use for it.

Many of us who are old enough saw it as an advanced version of ELIZA and used it with the same level of amusement until that amusement faded (pretty quick) because it got old.

If anything, they are less impressive because tricking people into thinking a computer is actually having a conversation with them has been around for a long time.

Are you like 80?

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, 47. Believe it or not, the first PCs came out when I was a young whippersnapper.

AceFuzzLord ,

In other news, AI bros convince CEOs and investors that polls saying people don’t like AI are out of touch with reality and those people actually want more AI, as proven by an AI that only outputs what those same AI bros want.

Just waiting for that to pop up in the news some time soon.

Take the hint, MBAs.

xantoxis ,

They don’t care. At the moment AI is cheap for them (because some other investor is paying for it). As long as they believe AI reduces their operating costs*, and as long as they’re convinced every other company will follow suit, it doesn’t matter if consumers like it less. Modern history is a long string of companies making things worse and selling them to us anyway because there’s no alternatives. Because every competitor is doing it, too, except the ones that are prohibitively expensive.

[*] Lol, it doesn’t do that either

simpleslipeagle ,

Assuming MBAs can do math might be a mistake. I’ve worked on an MBA pet project that squandered millions in worker time and opportunity cost to save 30k mrc…

xantoxis ,

Eh, they understand “number go down”

I read this article that out of the 10 top Harvard MBA grads 8 of them had have gone to tank the company they were CEOs at. Or something ridiculous.

Adobe Acrobat has added AI to their program and I hate it so much. Every other time I try to load a PDF it crashes. Wish I could convince my boss to use a different PDF reader.

markon ,

Adobe sucks but they have sucked their whole existence. No AI needed.

<—Not this cat. I become highly aroused when i hear salespeople gargling out their marketing bullshit

Yeah, baby, lie for me. Mmmm call a LLM “AI” again.

fuck that’s hot

Hey now, LLMs are AI!

… So is the code that makes those ghosts in s super mario approach you when you look away and cower when you look at them.

For the love of god, defund MBAs.

Unsurprisingly. I have use for LLMs and find them helpful, but even I don’t see why should we have the copilot button on new keyboards and mice, as well as on the LinkedIn’s post input form.

@razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world avatar

There are certainly great uses for LLMs. 99% of the time it is useless though.

MyOpinion ,

AI is garbage.

Persen ,

AI is just an excuse to lay off your employees for an objectively less reliable computer program, which somehow statistically beats us in logic.

werefreeatlast ,

Also just listening and reading what people say. We don’t want fucking AI anything. We understand what it might do. We don’t want it.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Yeah these buttsniffers can’t possibly conceive the truth, they made something that people don’t want, let alone ever admit it. Check this out:

“When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions” - some marketing stinklipper

“We found emotional trust plays a critical role in how consumers perceive AI-powered products”.

Ok, first of all how is this person serious fire this person please cuz this gibberish sounds like a LLM wrote it like for real WTF even is “emotional trust” dude is that a real term so you mean we see your lies

(wheeze)

Sorry, brain overheated there. These fucks are so far up their own asses man… the mind just boggles

You’re mad that someone investigates and elaborates on causes of why using llm marketing bullshit is a bad idea? Weird.

cordlesslamp ,

To be honest, I lost all interest in the new AMD CPUs because they fucking named the thing “AI” (with zero real-world application).

I’m in the market for a new PC next month and I’m gonna get the 7800X3D for my VR gaming needs.
