A big part of the problem with AI is that for your every day use cases, voice assistants already filled that niche
Most people just need some very simple language parsing that can automate some tasks like, “set a timer for 5 minutes”. We had that years ago and how exactly modern AI differentiates itself from that is largely unclear to most people. And when it is clear, it’s apparent that it’s a lying machine that lies because that’s fundamentally just how the tech works. And it boils the oceans
I do have to wonder how much especially Google is gimping ordinary search in order to make their LLMs seem more useful. Just using the internet has gotten so much worse in the last few years.

Actually, the problem with AI is that we have a metric fuck ton of tools that already do a better job and take way, way, way less resources. Instead these companies are pretending their AI is approaching AGI and want it to be the solution to everything.

And yet, with Android Auto, Google stuck the dumbest version of assistant to handle voice queries.
(While driving to hardware store) “Hey Google, what size screws does a standard VESA mount require?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand”
It’s the ONE place i need a working assistant/AI the most. Yet it’s useless with natural language queries 99% of the time.
