I don't know how people do that job, I did it for week and couldn't stand it.

Very few people all that upset about ML in general, it's technology that's been around a very long time and historically has not consumed 40% of global water supplies. But now it is.

If they could go back to not doing that I could go back to not being upset by it.

Colloquially it's called the United States of America.

In order for AI to have a market there would need to be a large scale demonstration of the uses and benefits of AI in many various industries, most of which do not involve image generation or writing a single line of computer code.

I'm so sick of asking people for demonstrations of AI use and it being 100% programmers going "oh it's really good at writing functions", now I have no idea if it is, or isn't, any good at writing functions, but since I don't write functions, that example is of no use to me.

I want to know how good it is at writing technical documentation for proprietary hardware solutions that the AI will have no experience of in its training set, because I suspect it sucks at it. How good is it at taking poorly written guides in Chinese, translated into English via Klingon and ancient Babylonian, how does it handle it if it comes across the sentence "absolutely do not ever warning" with no additional information as to what I absolutely should never not do. Because that's when thinking is involved, and AI doesn't think.

Ship them outside the US and then someone can use them as webcams

If I lived in the US I'd just go around in blacked out sunglasses the whole time because there's so many things that you better not see.

Don't even understand what this AI feature was even supposed to be for. I'm certainly not going to rely on an AI to annotate satellite imagery. This was always just a stupid marketing thing with no real purpose behind it.

For all of Google's faults, which of course are numerous, they do have some really talented engineers working for them, and it's just a shame that their time is constantly wasted on crap like this rather than on useful features that people would actually benefit from.

My parents have a car with remote start I've never been able to understand what the advantages are supposed to be. The only time that they've ever used it was when they first got it, and were playing with it.

Ah ha, my clever plan has been poor and not being able to afford to buy a brand new BMW, has paid off.

I have no experience of any of the things listed. The are all uniquely American products that only in American would ever consider consuming. Which I think is the point really.
