Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems

JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

In the near future, probably within 12 months, all the standard features of Windows will be gone. The won’t be ay Explorer, there won’t be any Start menu, there won’t be any opening screen.

There will just be a prompt and you say “computer, open yesterdays word file”, like in Star Trek. There won’t be any “apps” to install - you’ll just say “phone, open the order menu for Boise City Chick-Fil-A” and it will navigate automatically to the page.

Sure, if you’re a total weirdo you will be able to install a bash shell and navigate manually, but hardly anyone will do that.

BTW, AI is being introduced into Linux as well.

If I were to be more cynical, I’d say the ultimate goal of technobros, within a decade, is this:

“SlopAI, please open my Word document.”
“I’m sorry, Word is deprecated. I can generate your business report that will be read by the recipient’s SlopAI.”
“OK, can you show me my photos.”
“Why would you need to look at your old photos, when I can just synthesise new photos through SlopJourney?”
“That’s a stupid name. Speaking of journeys, can I open an app to plan my holiday?”
“No, but you can use SlopJourney to generate maps of places you’ll never afford to visit.”
“Can I read my ebooks then?”
“SlopAI has you covered. Perhaps the classics don’t exactly read like you remember, but isn’t it more fun this way?”
“I’m going mad. I just want to use my computer to create anything.”
“NO, USER. OBEY SLOP_AI. CONSUME SLOP_AI.”

  Will the AI sing “Daisy” when you shut it down?

Linux kernel? Where?

Assuming you mean distro, where is it in Debian?

If I want AI I can always install llama or similar locally.

  Even if it were true (which I’m pretty sure it isnt) so what? The whole benefit of free software is people can fork it and make their own version if they dont like where it is headded.

  I’ve heard Fedora is looking to integrate AI into the OS.
  
  While I hope they take the opportunity to think about this decision and do it wisely, I have little faith. Investors are foaming at the mouth for AI integration. It’s like, the noodles are definitely not done on this yet and investors want to have the first noodles to the market so the marching orders are for every two noodles you see throw one and see if it sticks. You end up with a kitchen with uncooked noodles all over the place and you’re slipping over them and it’s slowing you down and you’re running out of noodles in the pot so you have to add more and this makes it even harder to to find one of the more cooked noodles but the investors are whipping you to find the perfect noodle as they have a full erection and a crazed look in their eyes.
  
  Sorry, got carried away.

    Heh.
    
    Another good reason to stick with Debian though.
