  To be fair, the average consumer is a fucking dumbass.

    I’m sure that kind of discourse will persuade them not to use AI.

      It’s not meant to. It’s just an assessment.

        Well as long as we know the ship is sinking around us, we don’t need to know why or do anything about it.

  ^^This, So Much This^^

  Your average person wants a magic box that will give them what they’re looking for. They don’t care who know’s what about them, as long as it’s not creepy in their face. When they say Honey, what do you think about tacos tonight and all of a sudden, all ads are for Taco Bell; that’s too far.

  They don’t know that Google has made search shittier so they can sell more ads or move people into training AI’s for their purchasing tastes. More importantly, they don’t care. If you put up a check box that says remember all the shit you search for and try to make better guesses about what you’re looking for and have give you better ads, most people would check it.

  Grandma wants to know that old Christmas raisin cookie recipe and what to do when you hands start hurting. Dad wants to know how to watch Youtube on Roku without Ads and mom want to know how many seasons of Scandal there are. If Google search has gone to shit and AI delivers all that to them, they’ll all take it.

  Me, I came to Lemmy to get away from the algorithms. I use newpipe mainly to get rid of the doomscroll. I don’t want suggestions. I don’t want to swipe on TikTok training it to spoonfeed me 30 second clips. The average consumer? They don’t care about any of that. Whatever it takes to CONSUME.

  The Lemmy user base is so out of touch with the average consumer.

  This is probably true. I don’t know many people who aren’t super heavy into tech, I’ve had a gaming PC half my life, but I do have a couple friends who don’t even have a laptop, PC, computer, or anything. They just have a phone. I don’t know how they get by.

  Yeah, same as Reddit really. I don’t know how many times I saw Reddit comments or posts with “everyone knows”. The reality is that if you took enough time and interest to join an online forum about something, you’ve gone deeper than most people.

  Do you mean out of touch as in unaware or diverging opinions?

  I mean yes but in the case no.

  Most customers are not demanding it.

  I love how 70% of subsequent comments are tech savvy Lemmings describing what average users are really like, based on how in touch with them they are.
