"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Very simple to opt out of using it in the settings.
Fuck this very, very much
It appears that they share the complete inability to comprehend "consent" of every other techbrodouche.
If you go into settings and see how easy it is to turn off, and you know, read the TOU, they've actually made it exceedingly easy to consent or revoke consent as one wishes.
But then again you probably don't actually use it and don't know that.
You are missing the fucking point. (Meaning you are probably one of the techbrodouches.)
Consent is positive, not negative.
Here's an experiment for you. Walk up to a strange woman you find attractive and grab her ass. When, not if, she reacts negatively, tell her it's OK: if she doesn't want her ass grabbed she can just ask you to let go. See how well that goes over as you explain your "opt-out" philosophy to a judge. THAT is the "Brave" model here. Inflict the thing someone doesn't want and say "oh, but it's easy to ask me to stop".
No. That is not the right way to navigate consent.
The right way to navigate it is to ask before grabbing the ass. Do that and you might get scolding, ejected from the club, whatever but you're not going to wind up in jail for sexual assault. Or, in this case, do this before you turn on the AI features. Make the consent positive, not negative.
But you knew that already. You just get your jollies from forcing undesired things on people, right?
It seems you share the same understanding of consent.
LOL
Have a nice Saturday, friend.
Yes, and that totally mitigates it's inclusion in the first place.
Article says you have to manually turn it on in the settings.
Something must have changed in that case. (Maybe due to EU regulations?)
I had to opt out of it back when I turned those settings off. Still though, very easy to do. They're not hiding it like Microsoft or Google.
