  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

They always seem to have bought ad time without any real idea what to pitch. One would have thought that'd be a step in the process but apparently not.

It can summarise your text messages!
Oh, yes, because that's an insurmountable amount of text to read, please hold my hand through this difficult time.

AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.

And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.

Nobody goes beyond that. It's always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It's always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter's budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!

Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it's still useless?

I recently saw an AI summary appear on a YouTube video. "This is a video about a man sitting in a room talking about technical stuff." Yeah, no shit, I knew that by seeing the thumbnail. A small list of the point he was making was too much for an AI. Useless toys.

My favorite is this combo of AI "benefits":

  1. Create fully-written emails from a few simple bullet points!
  2. Summarize long emails into simple bullet points!

Imagine if we could just send bullet point emails, huh?

It's gonna be a milti trillion dollar industry.

Okay but what for.

Multi... Trillion... Just think about it.

But what does it do?
