When did humanity decide that the thing everyone wanted was AI? Especially and AI that isn't actually all that I, but is basically just sparkling autocarrot? MS talk of including it by default in the OS. etc... Why is it opt out, and never opt in?

I'm really hoping that the AI bubble bursts sooner rather than later.

It didn't, of course. Humanity loves to make idols and gin up golems.

For about ten years, I did boring little vision systems which looked for defects in display screens. Now, we had to train these little guys.

Anyone who uses the phrases "AI" or "Artificial Intelligence" is trying to sell you something.

Danger, Will Robinson!

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st Around about the time that they decided that everyone didn't want blockchain?

@quixoticgeek it’s now part of office 365. Which is basically a big “all your thoughts are belong to me” sign.

@camerondotca yeah. I really need to find a way to turn that off...

@quixoticgeek I mean we deploy office 364 at work and, at the same time, the teachers are freaking out about gen ai cheating.

@quixoticgeek it’s funny though, if you do want to play with gpt4 it’s in there

I set Firefox to automatically replace instances of AI with 'sparkling autocarrot' and my browsing is a 1000% better now, thank you.
