God it’s exhausting. Okay, I’ll buy a 3d television if that’s what I have to do, let’s bring that back instead. Please?

There’s even rumours that the next version of Windows is going to inject a bunch of AI buzzword stuff into the operating system. Like, how is that going to make the user experience any more intuitive? Sounds like you’re just going to have to fight an overconfident ChatGPT wannabe that thinks it knows what you want to do better than you do, every time you try opening a program or saving a document.

This is what pisses me off about the whole endeavour. We can’t even get a fucking search algo right any more, why the fuck do i want a machine blithely failing to do what it’s told as it stumbles off a cliff.

There’s even rumours

Like, I know we all love to hate Microsoft here but can we stop with the random nonsense? That’s not what’s happening, at all.

Windows Co-pilot just popped up on my Windows 11 machine. Its disclaimer said it could provide surprising results. I asked it what kind of surprising results I could expect, it responded that it wasn’t comfortable talking about that subject and ended the conversation.

They brought Cortana back in Halo Infinite and they’re gonna bring Cortana back for Windows Infinite

I sure hope not. I still hate Cortana so much. I don’t mind that she dumped me for an evil slime. I mind that she wouldn’t stop calling me while I was busy killing her new boyfriend.

I agree that It’s going to be every bit as awful as you say, but if it brings back Clippy, I’m down for it.

This is refreshing to see. I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

It’s all so stupid. The entire stock market basically took off because Nvidia CEO mentioned AI like 50 times and everyone now thinks it’s worth 200 times it’s yearly profit.

We don’t even have AI, we have language models that dig through text and create answers from that.

That’s a massive oversimplification. We do have AI. We don’t have AGI.

Yeah I guess. I just figured AI would be capable of doing more than feeding already known data back to us. When I was growing up, I was hoping AI would be able to make new conclusions and be wiser than humans.

But maybe we are calling that AGI now.

We have absolutely nothing similar to the classical definition of intelligence. We have probability calculation based on millions of examples.
