memes

One of the leading sources of enshitification.

My thermostat hides no brainier features behind an "Ai" subscription. Switching off the heating when the weather will be warm that day doesn't need Ai... that's not even machine learning, that's a simple PID controller.

I was trying to take a photo of piece of jewellery in my hand tonight and accidentally activated my phone's AI. It threw up a big Paperclip-type message, "How can I help you?" I muttered "fuck off" as I stabbed at the back button. "I'm sorry you feel that way!" it said.

Yeah, I hate it. At least Paperclip didn't give snark.

All this needs to be a shit post is an AI watermark

I hated it when everything became 'smart'.

Now everything has 'AI'.

Nothing was smart. And that's not AI.

Everything costs more, everything has a stupid app that gets abandoned, IoT backend that's on life support the moment it was turned on. Subscriptions everywhere! Everything is built with lower quality, lower standards.

I got a christmas card from my company. As a part of the christmas greeting, they promoted AI, something to the extent of "We wish you a merry christmas, much like the growth of AI technologies within our company" or something like that.

Please no.

According to some meme I saw, it's gonna fuck your wife in 2025.

they don't care. you're not the audience. the tech industry lives on hype. now it's ai because before that they did it with nft and that failed. and crypto failed. tech needs a grift going to keep investors investing. when the bubble bursts again they'll come up with some other bullshit grift because making useful things is hard work.

Containerize everything!

Crypto everything!

NFT everything!

Metaverse everything!

This too shall pass.

It's the fucking touch screens again.

I kind of like AI, sorry.

But it should all be freely available & completely open sourced since they were all built with our collective knowledge. The crass commercialization/hoarding is what's gross.

Instructions uclear. AI in healthcare treatment decisions.

AI is one of the most powerful tools available today, and as a heavy user, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be. However, there’s a trend right now where companies are trying to force AI into everything, assuming they know the best way for you to use it. They’re focused on marketing to those who either aren’t using AI at all or are using it ineffectively, promising solutions that often fall short in practice.

Here’s the truth: the real magic of AI doesn’t come from adopting prepackaged solutions. It comes when you take the time to develop your own use cases, tailored to the unique problems you want to solve. AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool; its strength lies in its adaptability. When you shift your mindset from waiting for a product to deliver results to creatively using AI to tackle your specific challenges, it stops being just another tool and becomes genuinely life-changing.

So, don’t get caught up in the hype or promises of marketing tags. Start experimenting, learning, and building solutions that work for you. That’s when AI truly reaches its full potential.

You're fooling yourself if you really think everyone hates it.

The problem isn't AI. The problem is greedy, clueless management pushing half baked products of dubious value on consumers.

But then we wouldn't have to pay real artists for real art anymore, and we could finally just let them starve to death!

Was shopping for a laundry machine for my parents and LG, I shit you not, has an AI laundry machine now. I just can't even

I think AI is a great tool if used properly. However, it should be a background tool. The second you advertise it to the end consumer, it's going to be dogshit.

If someone asks me to build a sort-function for their table, I'm not gonna write an email: "Yes and I actually used radix sort for the table contents which makes it extremely fast and performant!!!". I'm writing: "Done".

The end consumer doesn't give a shit how it works, as long as it works.

I saw an advert on the side of a truck the other day for an AI enhanced mattress, of all things!

Forcing AI into everything maximizes efficiency, automates repetitive tasks, and unlocks insights from vast data sets that humans can't process as effectively. It enhances personalization in services, driving innovation and improving user experiences across industries. However, thoughtful integration is critical to avoid ethical pitfalls, maintain human oversight, and ensure meaningful, responsible use of AI.

I think we're running out of advancements that make life better, now all technology does is make production cheaper/increase shareholder value.

But the poor shareholders!

At this point, I'm full on ready to make "though shall not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind" global international law and a religious commandment. At least that way, we can burn all AI grifters as witches!

But, but, but they want to sell as much of it as they can before the bubble bursts.
