nexus$@nixCraft Not all A.I features are useless to be honest, they do help a lot. But integrating A.I to every corner of the world is madness. I saw an ad of an A.I refrigerator and an AI air conditioner.
Noodlemaz@nexus_r21 @nixCraft not for a lot of people they aren't. Is it useful, or did you just believe someone who said it was?
@noodlemaz @nixCraft I use duckduckgo, and it's A.I feature helped me alot.
@nexus_r21 @nixCraft how?
Like honestly how. I use DDG specifically because I can turn that shit off, when you can't on Google.
Uses way more energy than a normal search.
Is it really doing anything you can't do yourself?

hindsight@noodlemaz I've managed my 70 years without A1.. not sure what it would bring for me.. maybe it'll eventualy say.. don't need you mate and become the new World inhabitant.. A1 and robots.. I'm done!
@hindsight hope you're taking the piss out of Linda there

@noodlemaz ..
Nah.. just lazy, the 1 is closer to A on the Keyboard..
but .. I'll go with that..
Yeah.. taking the piss out of Linda (who ever she is ;-)))).
(Had a quick look.. if the sauce is good sauce, I'll give it a go, if I can find it in the UK).
@hindsight doubt you will!
@noodlemaz Yeah.. you're right, I've just seen the price.
@noodlemaz @nixCraft It is not doing anything I can't, but it comes in handy If I'm on a rush.
@nexus_r21 @nixCraft is it really worth the cost?
@noodlemaz Stop dramatizing it.
@nexus_r21 I'm not, that was a straight and basic question.
You ignoring the costs existing doesn't mean they're not there. For me it's not worth it, at all.

@nexus_r21 @nixCraft machine learning for fridges and AC isn't that useless, if they learn how to anticipate users' needs and cool slower or in colder times of the day with higher COP it might mean decent power savings. If AI in this case instead it's meant some llm chatbot to turn them on or off, well, that's something else
@nexus_r21 @nixCraft but that's the point. Learn the user's needs to serve them in a more efficient way, if done properly no data leaves the user's home
Officeplant@Waslich @nexus_r21 @nixCraft its a fridge, it just needs to keep the freezer and cooler areas at their determined ranges. Micromanaging compressor runs to grid costs is gonna save dollars a year while the harvested data makes a company millions. Nope.
@Officeplant @nexus_r21 @nixCraft I don't understand why a compressor's inverter controller should be connected to the internet, nor how a company would make millions if it collected data on how often we open the fridge's doors and the temperatures inside and outside the fridge.
lemgandi@Waslich @Officeplant @nexus_r21 @nixCraft Ooh, might be useful for collecting occupation data on your house. No fridge openings for a week -> you're out of town. Combine that with gps data from your phone and sell it to house burglars.
Catherine Schmidt@nexus_r21 @nixCraft well musk is well on his way to controlling it all through ai, me thinks. But what do I know. I agree is has its purposes. Is there a way to turn it off?
@lillyfinch @nixCraft Can be simply avoided by not depending on A.I too much, when we depend on A.I for everything instead of using our brains, that's where we become slaves.
Mark ✅@nexus_r21 @nixCraft AHH, don't fall for that old scam, they are just old Blockchain fridges with an "AI" sticker on them !
Draken BlackKnight@nixCraft
Change that "disable" to "delete."

Gabriel Galiana Jaime@nixCraft Thats exactly what I feel when I use firefox ....
@nixCraft please Please PLEASE use our AI! We pay so much for it.
So if you don't want it we will force it on you.
David Goodwin@nixCraft if only I could figure out how to turn off the Gemini shit that's magically appeared on my phone and replaced the assistant ...

truboo42@nixCraft My new keyboard has a Windows Copilot button instead of a R Ctrl button, I literally had to download a dev program to rebind it.
Viktor@nixCraft True story 😅 Happened to me so many times. Unfortunately the features are not “disable-able” in the most cases 🥶
Kevin RussellStop using their products.
"Look, I want to use expensive crash-prone, survielance software that funds the end of America."
That seems like the meatspace version of cognitive dissonance.
"Finding their new errors, mistakes and crimes every day is like cosplay hunting, but satisfying."
VGC.369@nixCraft The classic tech cycle:
1. New AI feature drops
2. Everyone pretends to be impressed
3. Step 3: Frantically look for the settings menu like it’s a game of hide-and-seek with your sanity.
😂😂😂
Hesitation Is Defeat@nixCraft i cant wait to see insurance companies using AI to determine whether they keep your benefits or not, oh wait they've been doing it since at least 2010💀
ArchaeoIain@nixCraft getting rid of AI is really important nowadays. I am in the middle of a disaster caused by AI
ApeHardware@nixCraft I lost all trust on generative AI when I saw an add for a toothbrush with AI.
A TOOTHBRUSH.
I swear lately I've been considering abandoning my IT job career because I'm becoming disgusted at how tech when from cool gadgets to a cybercancer that devours sanity and copyright to produce bullshit.

tapafon@nixCraft The only useful integration of AI is Copilot in Microsoft Office, BUT:
Integration with document/sheet/presentation/OneNote content is basically held with a duct tape;
Some features are only fully available for business customers only;
It's impossible to create a proper presentation DRAFT with Copilot from just one prompt. Creation of separate slides is more useful, but it will take more credits.
Conclusion: it's only useful in certain situations and buying a Copilot Pro subscription isn't worth it. It's also a shame that ability to switch to classic plan without AI is only available for existing customers and for a limited time. Personally, I would stay on new plan. But would not buy a $20/month Copilot Pro.
