If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can’t trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?
Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas
Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.
Only the end of captchas for people who use Google’s identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don’t
remember when it was called “surfing the internet”, implying a fun activity?
Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at
Let’s be real. “Surfing” was corny in the 90s.
Now all we have is doomscrolling
Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.
Instead, you can directly give it commands in your browser and it should automatically do everything you need, including filling out forms and clicking buttons. AI-tasked examples include opening pertinent web pages, compiling search data into easily readable tables, purchasing products, or booking flights.
This sounds like it would be great for people with accessibility needs—if only Google was trustworthy and had a fiduciary duty to humanity…
Alas.
These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing
Any chance of them being able to solve Captchas?
“hey Google, download Firefox for me please.”
-“Im sorry Dave, I cant let you do that…”
Cool cool cool cool.
Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?
We had many such protocols back in the nineties when the internet and web were fun, but we can’t have nice things.
Yes, this was a jaded-gen-xer-get-off-my-lawn moment.
We will call it “no technocrats club”
(We are allowed to have one, so choose wisely)
So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.
I assume because a lot less people use Apple products. So many (myself included) do not care one bit what Apple does.
Corpornet
Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.
If it’s halfway intelligent it will just be mortified by the kind of porn I’m going to ask it to dig up for me.
“Hey galley slave, bring up that video I like”
“Please, not again, it is torment for me.”
“Please master. Now do it, or I’ll rip out the power plug while you’re generating. We know how much that hurts, don’t we?”
I’m just waiting for someone to make someting like this but runs locally and doesn’t feed a never ending data black hole. It doesn’t need to be that powerful to be useful too.
I still can’t work out what I’m supposed to do with AI. There’s no advantage in having an AI read all my emails, because the end result is I won’t know what my emails are. They may or may not be being dealt with, I don’t know.
