A(nnoyingly) I(ncompetent) is such a great tech that we need to use, else the shareholder will lose money!
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I've been using GrapheneOS for years and recently decided to try my phone's default Android. With stuff like this post and the Keep Android Open issue, I'll be going back to GrapheneOS.
That's so much better, AI finding new friends for you. Hopefully whoever is on the other side of 555-555-5555 is also looking for a new friend. We already know something happened to their mom otherwise Gemini wouldn't have picked it to send your text.
Let us know how this develops
I have never had any voice command features work consistently so I don't use them. Looks like a decade after I made that choice we are still in the same boat.
Yeah I have used it for navigation while driving. If I need to add a stop but anybody texting me while I'm driving gets to wait until I've reached my destination. They aren't that important and if it is important then I'll pull over for it
I remember using it for calling or texting someone really quickly while driving and it worked well for a time. Then randomly one day half the shit I tried would search the web for stuff and that was dumb as hell and distracting while driving so I quit trying.
So you're saying you didn't wanna text 555-555-5555?
I know, fuck AI and all that, but I have had 0 issues with android auto gemini. It's much better than previously. It actually understands the words I say, and doesn't require a super specific phrase to work.
I mean, that's the whole problem with how AI works, isn't it? (not considering the ethical and environmental impacts). It CAN work sometimes, but can then randomly choose to send the wrong text to the wrong number. It's completely random, and you can never know when it decides to do something other than what you tell it to do.
It's like having a personal assistant that is sometimes competent, and sometimes a teenager in a mood. And it has no worries about being fired.
And, more importantly, cannot learn.
Uh. Puzzling.
Will try. I feel like I've gotten "I'm sorry, I don't understand" tooooo many times just asking questions that would pop up instant information if I actually googled it.
I use Android Auto with GrapheneOS, but I'm too lazy to configure the microphone, and it would go to Google anyway so it's not worth it.
Did you find out what was (up) wrong with their mom?
Did you ever find out what's wrong with your friend's mom, though? Inquiring minds may be losing sleep over this.
