Ooh, another heartwarming Orphan Crushing Machine story!

#orphancrushingmachine

Tried again #Gemini as there's a push to integrate the #orphancrushingmachine into our daily work.

Gemini offers to schedule a meeting, but can't see people's busy status and lies confidently about it.

You tell it to extract open action items from meeting minutes made using Google's own template. It can't see if the checkbox has been ticked or the text has been struck through, and lies confidently about it.

Moral: I need to catch up to #AI by lying confidently when I can't do something.

It's nice when a games journalist lets go with a nice takedown of AI slop. Shit Niblets. Bro'st-modern art. Hot Sloppy. etc.

Oooh, this wins this week's "orphan crushing machine' award.

(ie, a story that is "oh what an uplifting story, she raised $1M for her family" but really "why do orphan crushing machines exist")
