Not to mention how voice assistants can just mishear you. Told google once to put dental floss on my shopping list and it said “got it, I added applesauce.” Good try I guess. Pretty trivial this time, but they expect me to trust that for tasks with financial stakes?

That feel when your Etsy purchase comes with an Amazon receipt in the package :(

There’s darkbrandon@lemmy.world

Edit - how do I link it

I was not expecting that title to be so literal

I keep seeing articles refer to them as “a university” or “Prager University” lately, what’s up with that? I thought they were officially PragerU because as a media outlet they’re not allowed to call themselves a university, but the U implies it enough to lend credibility.

Are these writers just taking the bait? Or did PragerU finally realize you don’t have to follow the law if you’re rich and conservative?

I get why a lay person would misunderstand the capabilities of LLMs. They sound like a thinking person should sound, so they treat it like it’s coming from a thinking person.

But how are all the (presumably) tech-literate Microsoft employees also confused by this? Anyone paying even a little attention should have seen numerous instances of LLMs confidently asserting “facts” that they pulled out of their asses. They are not the right tool for most of the stuff people use a voice/OS assistant for.

I have to assume it’s the business guys up top hearing the “AI” buzzword and getting horny for capitalism but god damn
