As I said in a project call where someone was pumping up AI, this is just the latest bubble ready to pop. Everyone is dumping $$ into AI, a couple decent ones will survive but the bulk is either barely functional or just vaporware.

Isn't that how innovation has always worked?

I feel like all this AI hate is comparable to any other innovation cycle.

Millions of light fabric and dowels wasted on crack pot "air heads" trying to design first ever flying vehicle

I think there's more AI hate because it's being pushed onto users that didn't ask for it and don't want it from the likes of Microsoft, Google and Amazon. And I think it's warranted!

But how does that impact you?

Like when is AI being shoved into your day

Google added it to their search by default, I had to change my default search to exclude it. Same with my Android phone, I got prompted to switch from Google Assistant to Bard and declined. Really glad I did since I later read about how awful it is. Yesterday I saw a copilot icon in Teams that I have to use for work. I clicked it out of curiosity and it showed an error and then wouldn't let me use Teams for 5 minutes. When I finally got in the copilot button was gone lol.

Yea I guess for me Google already sucks without AI and beyond that I don't have issues or bugs anymore than usual. But I also use chatgpt for things to do I find it useful. Even right now I'm asking if to give me some prompts to code while I learn different design patterns. Like asking it what is a good decorator use case.
