Some of these ads actually makes me think that artificial intelligence is for the naturally dumb.

my favourite so far is volvo. “hey ai, any good deals nearby?” “there’s a tv on sale at a nearby electronics store” “will it fit in the boot?” “yes” “nice, plot me a route there” …like the kind of person exists that impulse buys a tv.

It might be they’re not trying anymore. All the common AI tasks that by end-users and small businesses can be done better by local software rather than through compute on a hyperscale platform. The only reason to need big AI is for large-scale projects. They’re still selling compute at a huge loss, and their profits are dwarfed by their expenses. (Some argue the expenses are due to the massive buildout, which is reaching a capability point of diminishing returns. But even the running expenses outweigh the profits, even with government contracts.) You know, like controlling armies of killer drones, or processing mass surveillance data to find dissidents that are an actual threat. Or doing cyber-ops on a rival nation. I think that is why the stock market is still investing in big AI, not because we want better slop, but because they want garrison large populations and wreck rival societies.

I unironically use my local LLM for this. Yeah I could pick my dinner. But it can check the nutrition profile of what I’ve eaten today and compensate for shortcomings. And I have ADHD. So every stupid decision I have to make is a decision I can’t make later. And if I’m not literally standing in the pantry I can’t remember what’s in there. So yeah, it’s not a bad use. Edit: to all you people downvoting, what can I say? I’ve lost weight and am getting my cholesterol under control. It’s more convenient and cheaper than having a nutritionist follow me around.

My favorite ads are the ones that can easily be solved with minimal human interaction. Apple released an ad for their “rewind” feature where the Apple Watch records everyone’s audio and transcribes it. Their shining example is if the waitress talks too fast you can stare at your watch instead of asking her to repeat herself.

There’s people still not using adblockers and they get ai generated ads about ai shoved down their throats. Why are you doing this to yourselves?

The best are when they have the sweet old grandmas asking it how to cook.

speak for yourself. chatgpt helped me program a medium-complexity task yesterday within ~3 hours which would have taken me about 1-2 weeks otherwise, i fear. especially, it’s really convenient because when you just don’t know some technical term, you can just describe what you mean and it will give you the correct keyword, while googling for that kind of information is difficult since you don’t even know where to start.
