      People don’t need better AI. People are made to think they need better AI. Other than that yea

        I’m not going back to typing my grocery list manually. So I’m fucked in that part of my life.

        Edit: thank you to everybody suggesting privacy preserving methods of grocery list maintenance. I’ve already considered them.

          I use „tasks“ for that. When i prepare to go grocery shopping I go to my fridge, open the completed „shopping“ tasks list and uncomplete what is empty. I then complete them again in the mall. Of course the list is hosted on my server.

          You can also have a barcode scanner to automate the „done“ action. You could also put in a timer to automatically make things undone if they need regular buying.

          In any case, using ai voice recognition for this is a massive waste of computing power for things that can be done by simple if else statements. Of course it is also a massive privacy invasion if you use big tech stuff for it.

            Selfhosted task list. There is where we stand united my friend.

          so voice typing, huh? not really sure it matters at this point. I use an open source keyboard, but my inputs go right into the OS of the worlds largest spy organization.

          on the other hand… this is a great opportunity to hone your handwriting and memory skills.

          I mean you could also write your grocery list per hand.

          You could just write it down like some ancient wizard. Maybe even on a scroll of some sort.

          You don’t write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge…? I thought that was downright universal

      Losing privacy for convenience has been happening. We use GPS on our smart phones for better directions. We install listening devices to add things to shopping carts and to play music by voice. We install cloud security cameras at home. We accept free WiFi in stores which gives them our cell phone info and our location. We use digital cash instead of physical cash. We buy things online rather than going to the store. Every device, like a toaster, has a MAC address.

      At least until Big Tech realizes that hallucinations in generative AI aren’t fixable and the whole stock market crashes.
