DeepSeek is an AI assistant which appears to have fared very well in tests against some more established AI models developed in the US, causing alarm in some areas over not just how advanced it is, but how quickly and cost effectively it was produced.

[…]

Individual companies from within the American stock markets have been even harder-hit by sell-offs in pre-market trading, with Microsoft down more than six per cent, Amazon more than five per cent lower and Nvidia down more than 12 per cent.

Does that mean this stupid fucking bubble finally popped? Cramming AI into everything is getting real old real fast.

It didn’t pop, but it did release a bunch of hot air while hilariously zipping randomly around the room making a raspberry sound.

Not yet I don’t think, but it’s progress at least.

My Alexa turns on my TV and lights, it tells me the time and the date, it tells me how many grams a half teaspoon of fresh ginger should be. I have no other use of AI. I hope everyone has a nice time with it, and remembers to hydrate. Goodbye.

Are you sure the answer you’re getting from AI about the weight of ginger is right? Before AI I would trust the answer from a smart speaker. Now I don’t trust anything any AI produces that should be fact-based. (Turning on lights and TV I would trust because I can see the results myself.)

Amazon Alexa isn’t AI yet, it’s still just a smart speaker, and I don’t remember an instance it’s fucked up an answer to a quantity/weight question so badly i had to go back and research what it should have been

Funnily enough, I’ve had more trouble using Gemini than the previous assistant for simple tasks like setting up a countdown. At least it loads faster, I guess.

A teaspoon is 5g right? So half would be 2.5g or does it depend on the item in question?

It depends on the density of the ingredient, as well as the packing density, e.g. coarse vs. fine salt makes quite a difference.

Which is why it’s silly to use volume in cooking which is why Americans are doing it.

It really does feel like a repeat of smart speakers, only with chat bots.

Can AI tell me how and when to hydrate?

If you’re thinking about asking the AI whether it’s a good time to hydrate, the answer is yes.

I’m sorry, as an AI, I don’t have access to your thirst receptors. Please allow access to your brain chip to continue.
