Full of hot air - eviltoast

Make up your mind Google AI. Is sound faster in air that is less dense or more dense?

Honestly, there is so much wrong in the AI answers that it’s hard to know where to start, but the direct contradiction of itself seems like a good start.

    Yeah I was addressing the audience here on Lemmy though. I get thinking the feature sucks but you can turn it off, which I did a while ago. I think it would make a lot more sense to complain about this in a setting like reddit where you’re not preaching to the choir so directly.

    On Lemmy, I feel like 90% of users can build an app from source and debug dependency issues to make it happen. So it’s just odd to me that I still see this getting beat to death here.

      Just because you can turn it off for yourself doesn’t mean the problem no longer exists.

        No one said it no longer exists. Just that if you know you can turn it off but refuse to, you kind of have no right to complain about it.

          Yes, you do. You can complain about google (or whoever) feeding disinformation to the masses.

            That’s not what you’re doing. You’re complaining about something you could easily fix for yourself. Have fun with that.

              I wasn’t complaining. I was making fun of it, pointing out how dumb it is. I thought people would appreciate it (and it seems to be the case, with a few exceptions) and I created the community so there was a contained place for people to do the same. You don’t have to participate in it, there’s a way to turn off that feature.

              However, I responded to your comment about people complaining because I think people have every right to complain. You seem very focused on the problem being for individuals, when I think the problem (that I’m talking about) is much bigger than that.

              And no, I can not fix Google giving incorrect information to billions of people.

                Yeah, that’s kind of the point, you’re just preaching to the choir, which you seem to indirectly acknowledge… But you can easily fix it for yourself. Are you trying to say you put up with shitty AI features on everyone’s behalf? Lotta good that does.

                It made sense to complain about this a few months. At this point if you’re still having the problem it’s by choice. And this “with me or against” me thing isn’t really working for you. Google sucks and I wish I could leave them entirely. For now, I just turned this particular garbage off. And not that I approve of giving people crappy info, but the internet never was a guaranteed source of flawless info. 15 years ago people were shitting all over wikipedia for being potentially wrong, now it’s google garbage “helpful” features. In any case if an internet user doesn’t check info they get, they’re kind of the idiot.
