I sure could use an AI that detects and blocks things like AI generated articles and sponsored search results as long as it's open source and runs locally.

I'm starting to feel like this whole AI craze that big tech companies are forcing onto others is just a dick measuring contest that none of them have the balls to back out of even though they all know it's a stalemate.

Thanks, Google, I hate it.

Thanks but no thanks. I wish to be in the driver’s seat. Not a passenger. The user. Not the used. I give you instructions. I make the decisions. You will follow. You are merely a tool.

"The AI assistant will be able to handle everyday tasks like searching the web, making purchases, and booking flights without user intervention."

If they wouldn't have turned their search engine into a piece of dog shit, I wouldn't need an AI to do four web searches and collate them to find what the hell I'm looking for.

I do not want automation around making purchases, especially not an AI from a marketing company. Jarvis what's the best dinglebopper I can buy on the web? Query1: which manufacturer is paid us the most money, Query2: which web searches say that that manufacturer has the best product?

AI this and AI that. Yawn! All of it is a crock of over-hyped shit.

Can it solve captchas for me?

You mean like that one that can use a command line and broke the guy's PC? Yeah, I don't want Google booking a half dozen flights to the wrong airports.

I do not give a single fecal thought.

If it says "Google", never touching it.

Correct. I've disabled and replaced every Google app on my phone with a free open souce version. Now what I need to do is figure out how to shutdown and replace Google Play Services which screams at me every time it's disabled. Bloody thing updates weekly without the slightest change log. Fuck knows what it's doing.

Pixel phone, and install GrapheneOS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I've been thinking about doing just that for my next phone.

curious to see if it makes it to chromebooks and android.
