    I never wanted AI on my phone, period. I don’t care which one. The Google Assistant was more than enough, if not too much. Never got asked if I wanted any of this shit, it was just forcefully added into every fucking thing.

    My old ass phone, Google pushed out AI. (I plan to swap to GrapheneOS soon). It’s less useful than Assistant. And features are disappearing.

    My Windows 10 PC… fucking AI added. To be honest, never opened it.

    Because I use Android Auto when driving, technically, thanks to Google, I have AI there too. And as stated, it’s less functional than the original assistant.

    Drive-thru… AI. It’s slower and less accurate than a person. Only upside, because it doesn’t have a budget mic from the 1980’s it’s clearer than a person.

    Work… AI. Co-Pilot for VSCode, as a tool, it’s fine, get’s a lot wrong. But I had some upper manager claim they recreated DoorDash in like 5 minutes with AI (clearly they didn’t). We just had a recent wave of layoffs (I survived). But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…

    News?.. AI. Both good or bad news about it, I’m just so fucking sick of the exact same things. Trump, AI, Trump, AI, Trump, AI… that’s all it is, all the time. Just how both are fucking everyone.

      About 30% of my interactions with Google assistant were me asking for a joke, 20% ended in frustration that it didn’t accomplish whatever task I hoped to do hands-free, 40% getting pissed at it responding to “okay” when it wasn’t supposed to and 10% that it didn’t respond when I wanted it to.

      Eventually I turned off the voice activation entirely, and my number of interactions since has sharply decreased.

      Now I’m throwing it out entirely.

      But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…
