AI bubble is gonna pop so hard.
I just hope it happens before it ruins too many companies and a lot of people lose their jobs.
I hope it happens before we run out of potable water.
“It’s so great! It automatically writes the [wrong] answers to everything for you!”
So many things just needs something that looks right and is not too long or too short. Nobody will actually read it with some thought. It only matters that it exists.
For bureaucratic bullshit like that AI is a godsend.
Your comment perfectly describes itself.
Only if you’re working with sycophants or morons.
Unfortunately, there are a LOT of those in life…
In many things you need to be accredited by a third party according to some standards and they audit you periodically. They demand that you have shitload of plans, programs, reports, logs and other paperwork required by those standards.
Auditors mostly only care that the paperwork exists and only focus on the contents on key aspects that are usually clear and short.
It’s also powered by ChatGPT, and by powered I mean it’s literally chatGPT and a bunch of code I stole thanks to YouTube videos anyways GIVE ME MONEY.
Reminds me of “Roonil Wazlib”.
Hey, just four days ago their selling point was that it had a rainbow on it.
Anything to make a buck.
At least the rainbow one will continue to work, without monthly payments, until it runs out of ink.
Epson & HP stocks in free-fall following this revelation.
Unfortunately, it will only continue to work for another two weeks because pride merchandise is made as cheaply as possible.
Unfortunately, so is basically everything else.
Yeah, but they make the stuff to appease them queer folks especially cheap. Why not save a buck when you only have to care about them one month a year?
Everybody missed out on gay AI last month
gAI? gay-I?
Gay-ay.
They act like software = ai
Such a joke
This pencil is made with graphene!
No no, i said sell it to me, not make me want to huck it into the nearest bin!!!
It shocks you when you make a grammatical or spelling mistake.
Remember when that janitorial company changed its name to include the term CRYPTO and it’s stock went through the roof and the SEC investigated them for fraud?
I can’t find the story unfortunately
Could it be related to Long Blockchain Corp?
AI is the new IoT. You’re gonna see it jammed into shit it has no business being in. And it’s gonna cause major problems 10 years from now.
Yeah, smart washing machine i have just complicates process for no reason, i mean, if i gonna launch or stop machine then i should be near so i can unload clothes to dry, and if I’m near, then why the hell I’m needed wifi smartphone controlled one? Sadly it was the cheapest one for my size (amount of clothes) requirements
The answer to the original riddle is “Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I’ll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100.”
I always thought a good one was to put the pen in your pocket and refuse to give it back. Make him name his price. Clearly it’s yours, not his. Otherwise how could you sell it to him?
To a person like that a mere pen is basically worthless as a hostage.
Thats exactly the kind of unethical salesmanship he used to hire for.
That’s why my proposed solution is to take the phone though. Much more valuable hostage.
This is theft of the phone, so it does accurately demonstrate how corporations work.
Yup. They don’t understand what it is or what it does. All they know is that it makes even dumber venture capitalists open their wallets.
The PR Marketing guys sure don’t, but the actual Machine Learning and AI computer scientists sure do!
I’d wager a lot of marketing people only skim the basic surface of what it does and just plaster it to their supervisors without you know… working with the ACTUAL technical experts in that field.
Plus they think the non techie is a dum dum who don’t know no better.
“It has a smooth finish, virtually indestructible, and it writes upside-down.” [None of these will be true] “Also, with our Ink Anytime subscription service, you’ll never run out of ink! It’s free…” [for the first six months] “for our lowest tier…” [three lines of text per day] “with an option to upgrade to a higher tier anytime.” [Puts pen in pocket] “We’re offering pre-orders with a $5 non-refundable deposit, with delivery expected sometime in the next six months depending on how soon you get on the waitlist.” [Two years until you give up and just let us keep your deposit] “So sign up now!”
Ah, early pioneers in PaPaaS (Pen and Paper as a Service).
It’s like the late ‘90s where they tried to connect every common activity to the internet, like bar codes in the newspaper for coupons online.
They got it “right” when they stopped trying to make non-internet things direct you to the internet and just moved the non-internet things to the internet.
Now they’re trying to cram AI into everything. What’s the next step…moving your brain into the AI?
Six years ago: “It’s blockchain-powered!”
26 months ago: “it’s nft powered”
Ten years ago ‘‘Now new GREEN liquid dish soap!’’
There was some LLM-powered pen in the makings, I haven’t heard about it since. Was part of the Rabbit/AI Pin style of AI junk.
I’d buy an Al powered pencil though:
There are pencils like the Uni Kuru Toga line which have a motor to create auto-rotating lead, and the Pentel Orenz Nero 0.2mm which constantly pushes out lead so you don’t have to keep clicking. So… close enough?
