Will we look back and realize this was as bad marketing cigarettes to children?

When I finally found that song I had been looking for after a week.
Google Gemini #fail
Shazam #fail
Going through every mp3 I have #fail
Google search of the 3 words I could remember #fail
Brute force listening to 5 second segments of other people's YouTube playlist of 1990s and 2000's hit music for hours in the middle of the night #jackpot

AI is fun to work with and can speed up coding. It's also like working with a child savant that immediately forgets why we created the secrets file and added gitignore. All those skills you learned programming and all those nights you spent going over best practices are still valuable. AI isn't replacing us just yet. 😆
We're letting AI examine MRI images, transcribe legal/medical records, and determine whether insurance should pay for health care. It can't even agree with itself on a simple math problem.
AI is getting weird AF! Google's new "Daily listen" has two AI characters reading a customized briefing well they engage in casual banter between themselves. Lots of "ums", "oh yeah" and "that's right". A new briefing is available each day based on your interests.

A conversation with my wife.
Middle of the night and a wife with a possible fever DR Flipper makes a house call. I swear I have several proper thermometers but the only one I could find wasn't working. A Dallas sensor isn't perfect because it takes forever to get a reading but one under the armpit for about 10 minutes seems to suffice. 🤣

Who want's "Free Gold" just pay shipping? I know everyone here should understand this is a scam but just in case... SCAM ALERT! This is a SCAM!

I primarily find this scam interesting because they are so brazen. I got this ad on YouTube and the video version of the ad accompanying the screenshot below uses Donald Trumps likeness and voice. The whole ad is narrated by an AI generated Donal Trump voice. At the end it has an extensive disclaimer about having zero affiliation with Donald Trump or any political party. It seems to use affiliates to promote the products but what I really found interesting is the final disclaimer before you purchase.
