Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Genimi - I use Qwant search engine. But still I have problem with Genimi that turns on when I hold TURN OFF button for too long time. LOL

Apple intelligence - I got old Mac. It is too old to have this shit.

Copilot - I maybe have it on my Windows, but I don't touch it. When I tried uninstall Microsoft Edge the Microsoft Teams App stopped working so I needed use web version.

Ah good, this confirms my earlier research into disabling the AI bullshit on Android phones...I happen to be getting a Galaxy FE S25 next week. I will be toggling all the AI garbage off. I'd stick with Apple (which has no Apple Intelligence on my phone as it's an iPhone 15+), but not being able to play nicely with Linux is a deal breaker.

More trust than I've got.

It isn't enough that a company gives me their word, I want to know they're neutered.

Lineage without gapps at the bare minimum.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

apple have enough sense in putting AI into everything.

The irony of loading this article and a clanker called "AskCR" immediately popping up to ask if I need help is incredible.

The one thing ai should be good at, replacing Siri style assistants for creating calendar events, timers, and sending texts hands free is still absent on all major platforms.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

We had working digital assistants since more than a decade ago.

Siri, Google Assistant, and even jankier offerings like Cortana and S Voice were perfectly fine at creating calendar events, timers, and diction typing.

The LLMs are actively worse, and where is this more apparent than with Google Maps. If you enable Gemini, Google Assistant is pseudo-disabled in a limbo state, and you are left with no assistant at all for Google Maps.

What if it gets it wrong though? Cause it’s all guess work.

I guess ML could be used for speech to text and then have it read it back to you, I still think you can probably do that rather easily with good old algorithms.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 51 minutes ago

LLMs are actually quite good at taking free form content and turning it into structured content.

A year ago they were not good for this, but I can run small models locally now which do reliably generate json from content.

I think you would have to benchmark both approaches but the old way made mistakes too.

If I cant find my phone, I say "ok Google, where's my phone." It replies "I cant do that," and then I can hear where it is.

I also change outlets and light switches hot so I can confirm no shorts are made that will trip the breaker when Im done.

Lately I keep noticing my phone screen is on with a transcription of my conversation on screen as if I was asking it something. How do I turn that shit off? Galaxy S9+

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Do you have Bixby disabled (including the side button)? Google assistant off or uninstalled?

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Seems my "choice" of "assistant" had been changed to Gemini instead of regular Google Assistant. I managed to switch it back and then disable it.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

That might fix it. Any time I said "ok cool" it thought I said "ok Google" and would start transcribing everything after that. I disabled/removed all of it and haven't had a problem since.
