Are there people out there that actually act like this?

I use it as my emotional dumpster

AI is basically the magic conch from SpongeBob. ALL HAIL THE MAGICAL CONCH

More and more. My family members have started doing it and I'm afraid.

dave, DMCA would like a word about your files 👁️

Working so hard to find a problem for the solution they've invented.

That screenshot is such pyscho behavior. "Our algorithm will access any and all data it can on you to answer your question, whether you ask it to or not! Isn't that great??"

i love people describing use cases for ai because it’s always like "a good use case for ai is incredibly niche situation that will happen to you like maybe once a year if we’re generous where a problem presents itself that could be solved very easily without ai"

Good thing the person working the tire counter wouldn’t be able to recommend tires or be able to look up the trim on your vehicle

And there is no cost at all, ever, for this "assistant" that has full access to every aspect of our life. Free and without consequences forever!

Lol at the article, yes tyre shops are often extremely busy with very long lines and also the people in line would definitely not allow you the courtesy of taking 10 seconds to go check your number plate in the parking lot.

These AI use cases people demonstrate are so braindead.

Shit, I get pissed off when the menu is behind a QR code i have to scan.

Wow the article, giving up that much info and privacy just for a stupid 5 second convenient. Tyre size is available on the sidewall, car number plate should be the thing you remember and commited to your memory or taken picture and then put it on "favorite", tyre brand and type should be recommended by the shop that sell them instead of Gemini. Billion dollar project for this dumbass tech and dumbass public is buying it. Next we throw away our critical thinking so billionaires can control us very easily.

Waiting for all the people who call Pizzacake's comics "strawmen" to flock to this post and do the same.

The number of competent experts who are impressed by an LLM wielded in their qualified field is as vanishingly infinitesimal as legitimate and justifiable invocations of the term ‘AI’.

Those who have expressed the greatest enthusiasm for ‘AI’ are typically the farthest removed from actual, nuanced comprehension.

It’s a grift economy built on statistically luke-warm, vibe lobotomised corpses.

That's... Not how getting tires works? You pull up to whatever garage you go to, ask to get your tires replaced, and it's done in a few minutes with literally no other input needed (if it goes smoothly anyway). Even if you're going to a weird corporate place they're going to check over your car instead of asking you anything.

Knowing gemini it told him the wrong size of tires and it hallucinated the options and the plates

Not knowing your own licence plate number is indicative of being out of touch. Normal people need to know it to operate many parking ticket machines, when paying their registration, car insurance, parking in hotel car parks.

I can imagine when you have assistants to do all this you might think it's a boon to have a digital assistant help you with basic world skills. Even just the arrogance of asking an LLM for tyre information instead of asking someone at the tyre shop.

I hate when restaurants go the other way, with menus on your phone through a QR code. Obviously much more convenient than having a physical menu, which is why so many restaurants in the past printed their menus on tiny phone-screen sized booklets.

He doesn't know his own licence plate?

Gronk, is this real?

I've bought new tires from all sorts of places and people, and nobody ever asked for my license plate number. Is this an American thing?
In fact, these days, I simply order tires online and tell the company to deliver them to one of their many "partners," i.e. car repair shops. They notify me when the delivery is done, I leave the car there overnight and collect it the next morning. That's all there is to it.

So the AI deeply violates your privacy, then guesses everything based on that. Omg fuck no. Keep that photo scanning AI as far from any of my devices as possible. Fuck google for even thinking this is ok. Holly shit.
