idk if you're in the US, but Chik-Fil-A used Notebook.LM to read their ad-copy on a recent ad, maybe 6 months ago. it was blatantly obvious to me: I had just recently listened to about 3 hours of Notebook.LM podcasts about various robotic vision papers.

then, as I'm half paying attention to Youtube, I hear this advertisement for Chik-Fil-A, and by golly it's the same voices as the Notebook.LM podcast - same timbre, same inflections - and the same podcast host chat style.

the most egregious part is that at the end of the ad, a voiceover said "Real customers paid for their endorsement"

It's fine and dandy that it can't learn much from a limited data set, but google probably shouldn't put it *at the top of every search result by default* for that reason.

I'd rather get no result for a search than a demonstrably wrong one, regardless of the topic.

they're tricking people into down voting the response and correcting it for them

they know nothing pisses off people more than a person, or robot being wrong on the internet.

Well that's fine for dumb stuff like where do I get my elf thing in everquest, but I worry it's potentially just as dumb for more important things

Yah that was my sentiment in the post. The fact that the AI result is above all other search results, and most people don't know that you have to type -ai to exclude AI results

I'm a boomer and I am still real impressed with AI's ability to do basic code for me. The robot recently wrote me a script I could've written myself, but I wouldn't have taken the time. And it saved these useful, historically interesting industrial files that I would have allowed to fall into the sands of time otherwise. That's all on the AI and godbless.

But my other use case lately has been dealing with ancient circuit boards- repairs and so on. And boy, let me tell you, no matter how much documentation you feed these AIs, if you try to get them to talk very basic electrical engineering to you, you will receive nothing back but a very annoying anthropomorphized attitude of total surety while it spews complete hallucination at you. I tried Gemini and GPT (got word-for-word same answers from both btw) and finally gave up on any engagement with AI over questions of physical circuit boards and chips.

I wonder what else the machines are bad and good at. Like, is there anything technical other than coding and computer command stuff that they can do well? It's the only thing I'm aware of it being good at.

Idk what pisses me off more... literally anything or when Ai asks me to pick between 2 responses.

Fuck you you're the fuckn ai fucking pick one jesus christ what the fuck
