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.

A slew of religious smartphone apps are allowing untold millions of users to confess to AI chatbots, some of which claim to be channeling God himself.

There is no way that at least some of those aren’t honeypots. Three letter agencies, other nations, blackmailers, the fruit is just hanging too low. Probably not most of them, I imagine there are also just people who want to make a quick buck and not get sued. But I would not be rolling the dice on which one it was if I was doing anything that could remotely be described as confessing.

Remember when the App Store was nice?

The top ones were wholesome apps and games you bought once for like $3-$5. I remember WolframAlpha and Osmos, or like a copy of the Bible or a funny camera or something.

My glasses are not rose tinted: oh was there crap, but it was proper crap. It wasn't 1000 high budget, heavily marketed SEO clone apps flooding the top of searches and promoted to the top by the store system itself like it is now. It legitimately feels like Apple and Google are in on all these scams because it makes a little short term profit.

All app development after the app that looked like you were drinking a beer was purely superfluous.

I just find it mind blowing that ad bloated obvious shovelware has hundreds of millions of downloads.
