I still don't know a single person who wants this crap. I don't want "AI" in my web browser, I don't want it in my email client, I don't want it on my phone, I just don't want it. And it feels like everyone I speak to agrees! So who is this all for?

maybe you come on too strong for people who disagree to voice it personally i like it and want it, except in places where it is shoehorned

  Considering how AI folks tend to start foaming at the mouth like Elon stans anytime someone doesn't shower Altman or AI with praise, I doubt it.

I don't really care for AI in google search results or email. It's often wrong and not what I'm looking for. I would like a much better Siri, so hopefully that's part of what we get.

It did help me to translate nursery rhymes for my kid from one language to another while they still rhyme and mean approximately the same thing. It sucked in gpt-3 but 4o (or whatever is the latest one) is actually really great for that. It excels in "transfering style from one thing to another thing" basically. However every time I asked it a factual thing that I couldn't find on Google, it was always hilariously wrong

I highly agree. And everything it has generated so far has been incredibly mid. Yeah, there may be some legitimate use cases but as it usually goes everyone is overdoing it head first without really thinking enough about it beforehand.

  Everyone wanted something like an iphone and when it came it took over the market. We had a product that got shifted into a third world product overnight.

Now you know a few. I love the idea of being able to ask my phone for things like "the guy who emailed last week about the interview, what was his name?" without having to dig through emails trying not to lose the context in my head.

Me! I’m dumping text I write into an LLM all-day to help with editing. And I often start brainstorming / research by opening ChatGPT in voice mode, talk to it and keep a browser open at the same time to fact-check the output.

Nah, I want it. I use it all the time to do things like translate obscure Kanji and learn more about certain religious texts. For example: https://chatgpt.com/share/4a31c79b-a380-4fa0-9808-8145e3cfb41a https://chatgpt.com/share/4a31c79b-a380-4fa0-9808-8145e3cfb4... LLMs are very useful and very helpful, certainly more helpful than ony searching the web. Watching people apply the crypto lens to it is unfortunate for them, it's not a waste of electricity like most crypto, and it isn't useless output.

  I may be wrong, but the first GPT response says that kanji means "spirit" "soul" or "ghost" but a quick Google search says it means "drops of rain"... do you trust GPT on this matter? https://hsk.academy/en/characters/%E9%9C%9D https://hsk.academy/en/characters/%E9%9C%9D
  - jbm 2y ago
    Yes, the top radical is for drops of rain but the i inclusion of the bottom part has a meaning that clearly aligns with spirit, especially when you see the rare kanji that use it as a component. I only was curious as it was part of another kanji (孁) that I was investigating.

I actually want a virtual assistant that can reliably process my simple requests. But so far all these companies look like they are still in the figuring out phase, basically throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Hopefully after 2 or 3 years things will settle down and we will get a great virtual assistant.

  I believe this is in the same category as a car that will reliably fully self-drive.
