There is being Impressed by something and seeing any sort of real utility for it, the former doesn’t guarantee the latter.

Haha, AI hallucinations seem to be infectious.
Dr. Frankenstein ass reply.
I'd be impressed if they stopped basing everything they build on other people's tech.
What is really impressive, is how people in this day and age of connection, are still able to be so out of touch.

They're really up their own arses and don't realise why people use computers to begin with.
"Ok, I get it. You guys weren't impressed. That's on us and on me.... so to make it up to you guys I'm bringing out the big guns... Allow me to introduce our most smartest AI yet. It's called "CO-PILE-OF-SHIT-CUM-STAIN-ON-MY-BRIEFS."
Sounds like a you problem bucko.
It’s time for me to build a new gaming pc. With the current cost and this…(keeping in mind I’m no computerologist) I may just get the Steam Machine.

Of course, tech CEOs are just gaslighting us to get those last AI bubble dollars. But there can be a legitimate argument made here too.
It's a classic trap many software and game developers fall into, where they keep adding more and more features to their product/service. At some point it becomes bloat and nobody uses the new features, but from the dev's perspective they are improvements. If only corporations ever cared about user feedback and not shareholder feedback.
I always wonder if these areas the people's legit feelings or is this "just for the sake of the show".
“We’ve released this feature which works 80% of the time and which we feel morally obligated to tell you can install malware, or simply send all your files to a malicious actor. Why aren’t you jizzing yourselves?”
