"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.

I was shocked when I couldn't switch back to Google Assistant today. I had tried out gemini for months a while back, and it does not control my phone well. I don't need advanced AI to remind me to move the laundry in two hours or remind me of my mother's birthday each year. Or to queue up a specific song on spotify. Also, advanced AI is cumbersome at those things. It's a real bummer.

I'm assuming this is a way to artificially inflate user numbers to shareholders.

This sucks.

You realize your solutions are much more cumbersome and different than saying "hey phone, remind me that my football game starts tomorrow at 1pm", right?

It's all moot because I've disabled gemini on my phone because it is bad at the tasks I used Google Assistant for. So in the end, I just don't have an assistant app anymore.

It sounds like gemini has inadvertently done you a huge favour

Thank you for the response!

No, sorry, I don't realize what you mean, because it's less cumbersome, reliable, transparent, and I trust it.
It supports me to stay responsible for my own life.
In turn, I am in peace.
