This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.
It could be used for amazing things, but it’s currently in that phase where it’s a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.
These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing
remember when it was called “surfing the internet”, implying a fun activity?
if you miss those days when you could jump straight into something fun without all the distractions, check out this Wordle site I’ve been working on. It’s clean, straightforward, and all about the puzzles just dive in and https://mywordle.net/
Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at
absolutely, there was a time when every site had a unique vibe and purpose, and you’d go to specific places for the content you wanted. Now it’s like wading through endless noise to find anything meaningful.
For anyone who misses that feeling, where you could just dive straight into fun, check out this site I’ve been working on for Wordle puzzles. It’s focused, simple, and right to the point just pick up and play.
How do they not get people don’t fucking want this. It’s like they’re in a race to see who cand develop the shittiest product.
They’re not ultimately making it for people to use. They’re creating a playground for AI to work and learn in, thereby letting their AI access human behavior data that other companies don’t yet have.
Basically it’s a ploy to get a novel set of proprietary data in hopes that their AI gets smarter than the competition.
I could see the appeal as open source, self hosted software.
Not from data vacuums.
I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.
Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.
You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.
Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.
You just aren’t the target audience.
Oh sure, next let’s have an AI open my Steam and play the games I want for me.
“Hey Google! Open Steam!” *opens a browser with a google search for “open steam”.*
