I just want to fucking drive. I don’t need a conversation. Can we stop listening to dumbasses fresh out of their MBA program?

It really feels like 2000 bubble. Everyone seems to be so invested in it, but more and more looks like this will burst and take many companies with it.

Perhaps one of the stupidest fucking ideas ever. “Let’s add more and more and more distractions for drivers. A touch screen so they have to stop looking at the road! An AI to distract them with inane rambling, because we think that’s an enriching conversation since we are also robots. Add that to the ads on radio fucking with you by being different volumes and having car beeping noises and shit in them and WE WILL FINALLY ERADICATE THE DRIVERS”

Hi. This is Volky, the Volkswagen AI powered by Microsoft!! I see you want to start an engaging conversation about anal sex during constipation. Did you know that in ancient Sumaria “Fucking that shit” was an act performed by Shaman for treating severe constipation? If you’d like to talk about this more during your trip to “Kroger Grocery store” pound your face twice on the steering column to activate your $19.99 a month subscription to ChatGPT 5.5 advanced conversation mode!

Why is that? Most car already have voice assistants to help in tasks that would ve distracting for the driver. What’s the difference with chatGPT?

I don’t want nor need smart features on my car. Keep it dumb or make it open source.

So, they’re fresh off of rolling back their attempt to make everything a touch interface, which everyone hated… and they’re electing to go down yet another poorly-considered human interface rabbit hole?

That’s a bold move, cotton.

I’ll stick with my “stupid” 2003 Jetta 1.8T, thanks.
