    Its interesting that AI is so “mainstream” even though practically no-one wants it.

    It’s bad all-around at the moment. Simply not ready for use. People see and recognize that. Yet still… It’s pushed into us. Why?

    Sure, go for it. Throw everything at the wall, see what sticks. I personally don’t need an alarm that is only is right some of the time and apologizes when it wakes me up an hour late, but to each their own.

      Sorry boss, my AI alarm clock hallucinated the time zone, then my AI car drove through a construction zone, then the AI badge reader to get into the building forgot how to unlock the door

      But imagine if you could just like, ask your phone to set an alarm! And then it would do it!

      … what do you mean we’ve already had that tech for a decade?

      Maybe I shouldn’t get up and go to work today…

      You are so right about that. You deserve a day off. Let me forge a doctor’s note and send it to your boss.

      ^This will happen exactly one time.

    By offering the phone itself, the company could gain access to more data about users’ habits than an app on the phone could.

    Oh, well then. That’s obviously why people buy phones.

      He probably won’t use it himself. The tech bros pushing all these things don’t partake on their own supply in their personal lives because they know how dumb or dangerous it is.

      Apparently they are too dumb to ask themselves “if AI is ready to replace the work force and make billions per minute, why do they need to venture into these weird, half hashed, plans and products BEFORE they even turn a penny on what they are supposedly amazing at?”
