I've decided that I'm never going to use AI in my daily life and I'm gonna avoid products which rely on AI, because it feels like a bubble/fad to me. I was completely fine staying on windows, but ever since the copilot stuff I've just sworn it off for personal use. I realized that windows for me actually took more time out of my day than to fiddle with than linux, it just happens that linux's fiddling was in inconvenient places, but it wasn't that hard since I've been using it since I was 13 I'm also gonna disable all the AI features from my samsung phone, and given when the chance comes, I'm gonna switch to a pixel and install a privacy respecting OS like graphene or something. the most wild part is that linux adoption has shot up like crazy. it has shot up about half a percent in a year up to 4.55% and windows usage has been going down. 4.55% may not seem like much but that's millions of people, ever since the pandemic to now, usage has more than doubled.
I started using an instance of searx too, it doesn't have as many features as the big players, but it searches EVERYTHING from all the major search engines, and the results are almost always high quality. takes a bit longer but the results are great.
Too much AI yes. The laws and politicians are way behind the technology yes. Also, on the BoJangles near work. Is it really to cut costs or to gouge the customers? I can't possibly go through the entire menu myself, but I can say their egg biscuit is geared to short-change the customer. After they put touch panels inside, they no longer have a plain egg biscuit. Only an egg & cheese biscuit is listed - You can choose to remove the cheese, but you are still charged as if you ordered the whole egg & cheese. It would be great if someone did a study on all the combos and single items to see how much extra they make per 100 customers.
If you order inside, you can still order from a cashier.The cashier is there for cash payments and special orders. I hate the kiosks. I'd rather speak to a real person.
The reason for all the AI is there short on workers supposedly. It also helps businesses cut down on cost. Also a lot of these companies that came up with AI have run out of info (legal) to feed the AI algorithms so they started pushing it out so more people use it so they can better train it so it can compete with other companies AI's. Do they suck yes they do. Are some better than others yes. Are companies competing for space in AI yes. All in all they are pushing it out so their company can have more market share and make a bigger profit.
@@daniellozano8684 i found interesting that being short on workers and looking for ways to have less workers is a loop going nowhere. It maybe is a society issue? .. i dunno. Because there are plenty of people around to hire and work.
yep it's one big thing that companies are using to fire the workforce that they abused anyways it's so lame that the gov't hasn't cracked down on this crap. if you don't have low-end jobs then how's someone supposed to pay for college and get a "real job"

"there short on workers supposedly. It also helps businesses cut down on cost" you should re-read that line mate ;)
@@bhekuwenza I guess. They still have to listen to it in case the AI doesn't understand the orders or is having technical problems.
