    I can see AI being a powerful tool but not for conversations - and certainly not enriching ones

      I found this on the web for, “no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no”

    I just want to fucking drive. I don’t need a conversation. Can we stop listening to dumbasses fresh out of their MBA program?

    I’m very interested in machine learning, or AI as it’s usually referred to in hyped-up content, and have also done research in the topic of generative AI. It hurts me so much that such interesting and useful technology has become another empty hype word. Nobody is waiting for this kind of gimmicky shit. It does nothing but hurt the public’s view of this technology, similar to all the copyright issues and privacy concerns. Why must companies take things that can ultimately do something good in some cases and apply it to absolutely everything with no regards for the impact on their customers.

    Most companies don’t need “AI” and would be much better of spending those resources on actually improving their products. Useful places for generative AI would be something like Photoshop incorporating it, or a video game with better AI or more natural NPC conversations. Not some gimmicky AI assistant in a car, or some annoying AI chat window bothering you when visiting a news site. Soon people will be completely done with all this gimmicky “AI” bullshit and the useful applications will constantly have to deal with the stigma created by these greedy mindless corporations forcing “AI” on everyone in places where it adds nothing.

    This is so incredibly stupid. If I want to use ChatGPT, I’ll use ChatGPT. Not, “If I want to communicate while driving, I’ll use ChatGPT.”

    I don’t need to chat with my car, I have friends. I need 3 pedals, steering wheel and gear lever, so I can use a car as a car.

    Remember 10 years ago when everything more technologically advanced than a flat toaster had to contain 3d printed parts?

    so now in top of entertainement systems on videos, soundsystems, drivers will be distracted with bot conversations. Awesome.

    thanks vw that is very useful… How to pay attention to the road, and others road users already fragile (pedestrians, cyclists, motocylists) on a 1,5T rolling living-room-sofa ?

    A car is already too much considered as personnal property and “vital space”, yeah it is a good idea to give drivers more of this “personnal bubble” feeling. /s if it was not explicit enough
