They forced something nobody asked for or had a use for beyond the quick what does it do? Then wandered why no one used it? Shocked Pikachu face.

The meta one in WhatsApp, utterly pointless. Copilot non-use to me at all. Gemini has less features than the old Google assistant and is worse in every way at doing the things it does do.

It would be great itlf they'd stop reshaping a working OS around fads.

Tablets went nowhere and left a big scar on Windows and now AI is gonna do the same.

They missed the boat on the one thing that could have made them money, gaming. If they'd put half the effort of this copilot crap into integrating something to compete with steam around that time then things would be very different.

This AI bubble needs to pop. It's had it's fun, it has some niches but for day to day usage at work and home it's of no use to the vast majority of people.

It's the same with energy pricing, 15 different rates for the same gas and electricity just from one supplier. Half of them you aren't eligible for for some reason but they won't tell you outright you have to dig through the terms.

Then comparison sites appear to help, some suppliers aren't on them "to keep pricing simple", aaarrgghh.

It just means in most cases you end up paying too much for something and they make more money out of you.

Hi, have fun. Don't forget to use a coaster on the good table and don't feed the trolls if you find any.

It was all reposts, rehashes and porn anyway wasn't it?

I'm not brilliant by any means but what I have made, spliced together or manipulated into being I did myself with whatever skills I have.

I have learned things along the way and better too, I think.

Now I look at places like deviant art and kinda just meh in it's general direction.

AI art is like trusting autocorrect with your chat up lines. Doomed from the Stewart.

What about the 'American' companies that plonked their headquarters in Ireland for tax purposes?

Surely that makes them Irish for tarrif purposes?

I guess the thinking is making them next to worthless means they'll get stolen less.

Most networks will bar a stolen pones IMEI if it's reported but that doesn't stop them so this would have to be a step up.
