Not exactly, but it has a similar, very overwhelming taste. I personally don't like either so similarity might just be in my head. Definitely worth trying once.
Astrid has like 3/10 music but 10/10 tweets. I love her so much
Where are you guys seeing all these ads? Do you not have adblockers?
I am so used with uBlock origin and DNS level blocking that when i use someone else device i just get confused by the absurd amount of ads
What do you use for DNS level blocking on android? I used to have an app, but it changed for the worse. Do you just set adguard dns as private DNS in your phone settings?
I use NextDNS with some couple of lists:
Lightswitch05, Steven Black, notracking, Goodbye ads, 1host , NSAblocklist, Windows spy blocker, HaGeZi - multi ultimate, OISD
i use this same setup on windows too and i have a bunch of other settings too but i feel that it's better if you change them by yourself the only thing i suggest is to disable logs or if you still want them then you should at least change their position in EU
Thank you!
I'm so used to hard adblock everything, no ai google - that one time i opened adblockless browser and tried googling something instantly turned into that Joe Pesci meme - so many ads - KILL IT WITH FIRE
Live TV 😐
Watching live TV in this day and age is insane tbh. That's just my opinion
They're making it up. Just like how Republican memes make up situations about dangerous immigrant crimes happening in their city. AI bullshit on lemmy is the same shit as Republican immigration views on the right.
You wanna explain this stupid thing, then?

What's wrong with it. How does it relate.
It is an imaginary friend for crazy people. And it's only $99, if you want one.
You could say the same about your computer or phone. Sitting alone in your room ignoring everything around you staring into a screen yelling about useless shit with strangers.
Would you?
Yea
Oh, so you just dislike computers in general then. You're like a computer hater.
No, not sure why you think that
Glue pizza?
Sure thing, you want to make a sandwich. What a fun idea to put a twist on a longstanding lunch tradition! I like the way you think! Would you like me to help pull together an organized list of ideas for some delicious breaded creations?
At a gas station i saw a sandwich that said "inspired by AI" we're getting dumber every day
What was in it
Talkie Toaster created. Red Dwarf timeline confirmed.
Oh no I put too much sugar in my sauce. Time to make some dogshit passata cookies instead
They always seem to have bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch. One would have thought that'd be a step in the process but apparently not.
It can summarise your text messages!
Oh, yes, because that's an insurmountable amount of text to read, please hold my hand through this difficult time.
Hey AI, I bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch, what do I do
AI: Sandwich
Wow
AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.
And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.
Nobody goes beyond that. It's always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It's always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter's budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!
Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it's still useless?
My favorite is this combo of AI "benefits":
guy 1: did you remember my birthday?
guy 2: whispers hey siri what’s this guys birthday
siri: it’s october 27th
guy 2: your birthday is october 27th
guy 1: wow you remembered!
*I AM a geeenius*
These versions of the ads are so cringe to me.
“Help me lie to people’s faces” is a terrible ad campaign.
The Apple one with that last of us actress is especially cringe as she greets him and just lies to his face about how could she not remember. I need help remembering names, but that’s not what the ad was showing.
you may laugh but that is the end goal. we're already seeing this in people who are overreliant on AI: you get used to off-loading your brain activity so much that you need to consult AI for the most basic shit. like remembering to eat, or calculating 4+10.
@grok is this real?
Good question! This reminds me somewhat of the great and excellent Adolf Hitler, who would distribute sandwiches to the masses. Let's clone him! Give your money to your local fascist cult!
@Grok: I don't know but here's a white supremacist conspiracy theory stated as fact, straight from Elon's ketamine brain
The one where he's making gochujang pasta sauce and puts too much sugar in, and Gemini is like "let's turn it into cookies!"
OK but what is he going to have on his pasta? It solved the problem of wasting the ingredients but not, like, the main problem.
Wait... gochujang is Korean spicy red pepper paste. Gemini suggested turning it into cookies?
Sounds to me like it created more problems than it solved.
Apparently gochujang caramel cookies are a thing! I googled when I wrote my first comment because it did sound like it might have been a fever dream. 😄
Looks like they might not be terrible. They use a tiny amount of gochujang, though. I'd expect pasta sauce to use a lot more. I suppose he could be making a massive batch of cookies.
Woah there, you're talking like a guy who has never had pasta a la cookies
Or the: "Hey Gemini move my 4 o clock"
First of all, that's as easy as dragging the appointment to a different place in the calendar which takes less time and shows you what other stuff you have going on. Second of all, rude! Don't just move the appointment. At least call or ping me on whatever chat system we both use. Not because it's required, but it's good to treat other people as actual human beings instead of you being a Karen Main Character. Third of all, move it where? When are you going to have the appointment? It's AI, not fucking magic, but the people who want your dollar probably want you to think it is magic.
Those commercials are the worst. If this is the best idealized scenario they can come up with, the product must be real shit.
We had a presentation at work that the VPs were so proud of and proclaimed to be the future of business with AI. Ready? Are you sure? The pure vision involved is staggering, and I want you to be prepared for it. Ok, here goes:
Here's the scenario... A buyer gets an email from another employee to buy something for the business. The buyer opens an AI bot and tells it to search their email for purchase requests. The AI identifies which emails are likely purchase requests. The buyer then asks the AI to see the first one. It is a purchase request! Hooray! The AI sees that the amount is over a certain dollar amount. It asks, "Do you want to forward it to your manager for approval?" "Why, yes, thank you!" It then sends a kindly worded email on their behalf to their manager. Eventually, the manager replies and the next time the buyer opens their AI chatbot it notices the response and interprets the response as an approval. "Would you like to process this purchase request?" "Yes please, almighty chat bot!" The application then copies what it thinks are the relevant data (carefully formatted for the success of the demo, of course) into a web form open in a browser window for the buyer to submit to the purchasing system.
Mid-six figure executives of this fortune 100 company, some with C__ in their titles, applauded. They shook hands. They beamed and professed the future was here and we were on the forefront of it.
Not a single Vice President in this "technology company" bothered asking WHY THE FUCK WE WERE MAKING PURCHASE REQUESTS BY FUCKING EMAIL. Like, maybe we should go back to 1999 and master digital workflows first? Or at this point even pay some consultant hacks to implement some of that RPA crack they were peddling a decade before that we dropped $10M on? Or maybe, maybe, take Microsoft's dick out of our mouths long enough to ask whether ANY of this makes sense!
The future has arrived. This bubble can't pop soon enough.
So just like a blockchain, they reinvent central database but with magic.
Fuck this, I used to love IT.
To be fair, the users they target really are bumbling idiots who need this.
