I wonder how many just blindly believe the bots

To be fair, the bots are being explicitly marketed as believable. The customers are being lied to. I personally try to have sympathy for them and direct my frustration at the legislators not enforcing false advertising laws.

This quote from Ford's CEO:

"It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

Combined with the following quote he recently said:

Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

And it's not even lying, lying requires an understanding of the truth which they don't have. LLMs string together bullshit that happens to sound reasonable at first glance.

cool like what

Thanks, I also like offtiktok.com (replace tiktok in the URL with offtiktok)

Maybe it would be more interesting for a reply or two, but it would have quickly fallen right into the same spiral.

Love this. I don't want to read books. I want to have read books. I heard that if you read a certain amount of books that when you die you get an achievement.

Been saying for years I wish I could spend less time lost in a good book and more time making my boss rich.

"No babe it's not rage bait because he cites his sources, I swear babe I won't yell at my screen all night again"

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

ok

If these catch on (unlikely imo) it's only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them...

Sorry to have annoyed you.
