Good for you, but Oovid opened my eyes to how different our living conditions are.

Some people may have may many alternatives, some few and some none

Came here to say this after giving it 24 hours in case it was just lucky timing

However, now if I try to watch a YT vid in Firefox, I get the “Oops something went wrong” right when the Ad should have popped up

LOL… if AI were a tenth as effective as they claim, this would be like adding a second steering wheel to your car, you know? just in case the first one doesn’t cut it?

you did notice the person you are replying to is using linux, right?

they are correct, 16gb goes a loooooong way in linux. I know begause I too have 16 on my work and gaming rig and ram has never been a bottleneck

your comments sound like typical windows experience

not sure there is any research done by people using office suite…

it sounds like you are conflating LLM in general with the crappy copilot that MS offers with the office suite

an LLM could be useful for research of large (large) datasets… Copilot would not be

change management wouldn’t be a thing.

What do you think Change Management is?

Then maybe it’s not useful for you. That doesn’t mean AI isn’t useful for a number of other roles.

Case in point, as per the article, AI is pretty useless for regular office work

The devil is in the details… what you describe screams to me what I call the “new boss syndrome”. New boss comes in and they feel the need to pee on everyone to mark their territory so they MUST bring in some genius change.

99% of the time, they are bringing in some forced change for the sake of change or something that worked on their previous place without taking into consideration the context.

I do not know anyone who prefers to work harder… either the changes proposed make no sense (or it’s too complex for people to understand the benefit) or the change is superfluous. That is usually where resistance to change comes from.

.this basically just shows that AI assistants provide no benefit when they’re not used and nothing else.

so you think they may be useful but people just like to work harder? or perhps, they tried and saw no benefit at all and moved on?

I finally gave up when they started blanking out my home page as I turned off history… I don’t even miss it

Meh, that’s not real competition… the big one just collude

So Google half baked a product, pushed it to the public whether they wanted it or not, and now it’s giving up on it replacing it with another half baked product nobody asked for…

Seems par for the course for Google

I couldn’t care less… I care about what will be the next thing someone unaffected by me consuming it, would ban it and deprive me of it

Then maybe the buried fertilizer will become so valuable that it can be dug out and sold as fertilizer again.

I don’t see any problems with this plan !

except the part the planet may be uninhabitable for humans by then due to the massive CO2 we are spewing to get slop from AI…

other than that, no problem at all

It’s poetic… MS AI slings out massive amounts of shit and now the company gets to bury some of it to compensate

The point is simple: it’s able to solve complex problems and do very impressive things that even human struggle to, in very short time

You mean like a calculator does?

techno-archeology is a thing I guess

is reddit still alive? it must be 100% bot on bot action by now…

if any country has an actual interest in replacing their disappearing population with AI workers, it would be Japan

Youmay not be wrong, but it reinforces the notion AI is a new tiktok fad and nothing truly useful
