No, phone trees are deterministic, an LLM is non-deteministic. Voice-navigable phone trees have been around a quarter-century now. Even natural language processing apps like Siri are far more advanced than a voice-navigable phone tree and that is 15 years old.


That’s still deterministic, what you are describing has been around far, far longer than llm technology.


why do gamers™ always assume everything is created for them
let people enjoy things


why make this at all?




Wow thank you for your work 🙏


Eh, you’re not wrong but OP also picked a bad example.


Funny I had a 15 year account and was never once banned from anything, ever.
I swear the threadiverse is a remote island made up of 50% idealists and 50% convicts.


That doesn’t even make sense, phone trees are deterministic.


OP is describing a phone tree, it’s a flow chart at best and have existed long before LLMs.


“Interactive clothes” sounds awesome to me.
a garment made of conductive fibres that track heart rate and breathing and feed that data into an AI algorithm that detects when a person is anxious and triggers a mechanism that causes the garment to tighten and give the feeling of a comforting hug.
Does not.


N64, Dreamcast and Saturn be like 😠
No, this isn’t about AI.


I’m glad to see this in the Financial Times because “clean power” is only half the equation here. There is an economic benefit because solar is cheap power! And there also a national defense angle because solar is increasingly decentralized power that kneecaps both the terrorist looking to damage power infrastructure, not to mention the very concept of the petrostate.


😂 It wasn’t until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.
I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!
If one wanted to avoid using for free anything that had a fascists hand in it’s creation you’d be living in a mud hut. Seriously.


I can’t help you so I’m going to rant about something not related.
Gramps is great once it’s up and running but it’s so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.
Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of “Create new birth/wedding/etc event” from the person page.


Yes but the LLM is not the thing making the decision to do that on that scale. The people using it are.
Oh they’ve watched DS9, it’s just that in that time since they’ve been brainwashed by some YouTuber selling anger about a perceived past that never existed to make a profit.
