"I think the WIFI might be messed up."

Bro, I think the AI might be messed up. You don't get instructions to grate a pear when a device cannot connect to the internet.

Clearly youve never used my fridge.

Tell us what you have seen, oh Ye Who Dweleth Among The Machines.

Even if this worked perfectly, ignoring the fact that it's clearly setup for the camera to recognise certain things and is in no way a genuine demonstration, what is the point of this? By the time it's even responded to his first "Hey meta" he could have typed "korean steak sauce recipe" into his search engine of choice and got back several dozen decent results in seconds.

What is the problem that these LLMs and chatbots are the solution for? It's like they're all desperately trying to market some fancy new type of barely functioning legs to everyone when we already have legs, and arms, and cars, and bicycles.

The idea is the AI would automatically look at what you have and come up with something, substituting ingredients for what you have as necessary.

“korean steak sauce recipe” into his search engine of choice and got back several dozen decent results in seconds.

Have you tried looking for a recipe in the last 10 years or so? 10 pages of fluff with a recipe the author cobbled together from other recipes and guess work and made exactly 1 time if that at the bottom.

What surprises me isn't that AI failed, what surprises me is that Zuckerberg believes in his own hyping of AI so much he had the confidence to try to do this at all, live, unstaged. Is this courage, honesty, stupidity, hubris?

The most favourable explanation I can think of is that they tried it out ahead of the presentation, it worked well enough, so they trusted it could be repeated.

I just don't know how many times these billionaires have to prove that deep down they're just dumb asses at heart until people get the message

God that's so awkward, the super long pauses before it can even start replying, the horrible robot voice it has, and them both trying to pretend it's a wifi issue lmao.

Why is he so weirdly obsessed with BBQ sauce?

What do you mean? People love barbeque sauce. There's nothing more normal and human than barbeque sauce. Biological human beings are natural barbeque sauce enthusiasts.

Sauce is the true litmus test of civilization

I laughed so hard at the pre-recorded demo where the guy interrupts his friend in the middle of the conversation in order to talk to his glasses. You can tell how wildly out of touch the billionaire and executives are who approved this product...

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

„No i haven’t. Walk me through it from the start, please“ could have very well saved that performance.

But I guess that was not in the script.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

I dunno , if ‘what do I do first’ can’t get there….

[–] lemmy12369@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup just like Steve said during one of his demos..

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago

Or Musk, when he wanted to show how tough the cybertruck windows were.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bro just wasn't hallucinating the same reality as the glasses. He just had to grate the carrots and add them to the base he already made. Duh.

Why anyone would applaud that pathetic attempt at a demo is a mystery. Maybe they were plants?

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What? No, those are obviously human not plant.

But yes, event like these tend to have a paid actor that initiate claps and cheers
