Im so sick of AI being inserted into every inane thing. Next it will be AI lego, AI gaming chair, AI toilet seat. Its just so fucking droll at this point. There is literally no technology I want to use less than your idiot pet AI project you just cane up with. Everything now has AI in it yet nothing feels revolutionary or interesting. Its all just worse. Everything is just worse but with AI in it.

This just screams “stupid new CEO obsessed with trying to implement AI into everything”.

The worst part is they still barely understand how to get AI to actually do anything. So it’s always just “yo dawg, we heard you like ChatGPT, so we put ChatGPT in your car so you can chat while you drive”

Or "fresh new CEO without baggage who sees where the future of the technology is heading."

More like “new CEO knows how to chase the latest shiny fad”
Where tech is going, that couldn’t be more absurd.

The only good use I can think of is generating simple readable summaries of ad and picture heavy pages.
A bit like spam filters, to make the Web usable.
Could be an advantage similar to what Opera had in olden days.

I wouldn’t dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

Also my understanding is they’d use AI for local language translation so it doesn’t have to connect to some external server to do it.
Just cause for-profit organizations are heavily pushing AI doesn’t mean there aren’t unskeezy uses for it…
