Counterpoint: I like my Tesla, and I find the AI assistant diverting and useful. I have very little doubt the functionality of the limited on-board voice assistant will be merged into Grok (it's literally on the coming features).
Whether you like this or not, who cares? The pace of improvement in Tesla software compared to any other manufacturer is astonishing, and astonishingly good.
I have no love for the CEO, but my Model Y is a very interesting (and intuitive) car.
- mvdtnz 8mo agoDiverting?
- dizhn 8mo agoIn Italian divertente is entertaining. Parent probably speaks a Romance language and got hit by a "false friend".
- BobaFloutist 8mo agoThat's actually a valid (of old fashioned) usage in English too, it's just a bit weird to value in a voice assistant for your car.
- FeloniousHam 8mo agoI have it set to the "Gork" personality, which is occasionally correct and useful, but is very often genuinely funny. It's like a Spicoli-with-a-PhD that answers your query when it "feels like it".
- dizhn 8mo agoI have a RULES file for my coding agent which I invoke when I get bored. It basically simulates a real office environment saying things like "while the queue is full our worker is sitting in the corner with its thumb up its ass looking at the wrong queue".
- BobaFloutist 8mo agoWhich is hilarious, but when I'm driving on the freeway and trying to add milk to my grocery list or add a navigation stop at the hardware store (no idea if these are things you can actually do, I'm just using what feel like plausible use cases for a car voice assistant) I wouldn't want the additipnal distraction of the voice assistant being funny.
