Seriously no one wants or cares about AI except corporations, investors, and AI developers.

I think people are interested in functional products/services that are easy to you and have obvious value/benefit. It just isn’t integrated in a smooth or helpful manner at this point. For most people, none of the promises are being delivered at this point. It’ll get there at some point.

By the time it gets there, every AI tool will be riddled with personnalized ads and multiple subscription plan where only the highest plan actually makes any fucking sense as a user, that they will bump up every couple of years while reducing the services provided. Because the numbers always have to go up, and the main way they know how to do that is by making the product cheaper and shittier over time.

you mean both fake and gay?

It’s already at the shitty part as far as I can tell. We have Copilot embedded on our office suite at work now and everything is a fucking laggy mess because of it. Emails will take ten seconds each to open. And no one uses the AI part except a few people who can’t do excel formulas.

The number of companies enabling that stuff by default is ridiculous, especially all the conference call auto transcribers and summary notes tools. A few of them have even been really good and I can see their use. Did a decent job of describing the call, assigned follow ups, etc. But all that info gets saved over in China somewhere and at the beginning there was like zero data information about security, deleting, or ownership. We were joining calls with vendors and suddenly bots join the Teams or Google meet and I had to be like “Hey sorry this doesn’t meet State IT security policy, please disable for this call.” And some of the vendors were stupid enough to be like “uhh it just got pushed to our laptop, I don’t even know how.” I mean most of them can barely operate a Teams call to begin with. So I just end the call and say please reschedule when you figure it out.

Microsoft definitely didn't help "consumer AI on your PC" perception when they talked about some Copilot enabled PCs taking thousands of images of what you are doing on your PC "to train". Pretty sure everyone who was computer savvy started to uninstall and disable Copilot functions at that point and it shows how completely out of touch Microsoft was to think users would actually think that is a good thing.

Companies going gaga over AI is easier to explain because despite what any of them claim, they're dreaming of someday not needing to hire as much people to do the same work.

Remember when Microsoft claimed it was secure because it was only stored locally? Well, turns out it doesn't really matter:

New One-Click Microsoft Copilot Vulnerability Grants Attackers Undetected Access to Sensitive Data

A novel single-click attack targeting Microsoft Copilot Personal that enables attackers to silently exfiltrate sensitive user data. The vulnerability, now patched, allowed threat actors to hijack sessions via a phishing link without further interaction.

A novel single-click attack targeting Microsoft Copilot Personal that enables attackers to silently exfiltrate sensitive user data. The vulnerability, now patched, allowed threat actors to hijack sessions via a phishing link without further interaction.

Attackers initiate Reprompt by sending a phishing email with a legitimate Copilot URL containing a malicious ‘q’ parameter, which auto-executes a prompt upon page load.

The 90's called and want their shit HTTP security architecture back.

ChatGPT is about to introduce ads. It’s on their website.

My wife works for a big nonprofit (you’d know the name if I told you).

they banned all auto transcribers except copilot. Any time a client or a potential donor hops on a call they have to disable their chatbot if it’s not copilot.

and copilot is like the worst one lol. It’s fine for transcribing but it’s not great in anything else.

That's gonna be just amazing when they authorize Gambling Pills/drugs and Tits to advertise to AI brain-rotted people. Someone gonna ask about their ball team and get an AI suggested slam dunk win parlay bet generated with a link in the response.

This girl did a really great deep dive into the woes of generative AI. Her angle is for writing but it still applies to every day uses.
