Everyone hates AI. And yet big corps keep trying to cram it down our throats in all sorts of ways in a desperate attempt to justify the ungodly amounts of money they've sunk into it.

We have invested in this!
So sick of this environment killer software being crammed down everyone's throats because the sunken cost is too great (and political nastiness).
You are not interrupting the market, just the customer base.
The budget reconciliation bill has a line in it that will make regulating AI illegal for a decade. Presumably this will mean that if they cram AI into a product it gives it magical protection.
My work wants to use ai to make us more "efficient". They're hiring now based on how you respond to questions about AI. Like wtf.

It feels like every CEO on earth thinks they need to adopt AI or fall behind, but they have no idea what to use AI for so they're just ramming it into use cases that no one asked for.
I'm in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership's been grasping for more ever since.
I was sitting in a meeting yesterday that basically was exactly this.
So yes. very much.
This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.
Your not wromg. The investors class want ai because that is what they belive will be the future. If the ceos don't add then the investors pull out. Even when most feedback is negative, even woth ai companies saying they don't have a path to profitability

Lol wtf Zuck?! I can't fucking believe how imbecilic these fucking corporate ghouls are.
They "have" to put them to use, or they can't justify all the money they spent developing them. And they've realized that most people aren't interested, so they're starting to force it on people.

Was at a whisky&rum fair a couple weeks ago. A bunch of brands had very AI looking designs on the bottles.
And that included Bottles of whisky that cost 200+ bucks.
I mean, who doesn't associate the name "whisky" with "woman in spacesuit tentacle porn" and "sexy woman santa"?
What the fuck lmfao.
Facebook and AI..........make it make sense.
Now you've got Facebook making AI posts and images. And you can click on a post and it'll give you suggested AI-generated responses. Soon Facebook won't need us humans at all, it'll just be AIs interacting with each other.
What's the business plan for Meta with that strategy? You can't sell ads to AIs, I assume...How do they plan to make money?
They've been faking their userbase numbers for ages now. They don't care about actual user engagement.

Yeah they put a AI bot in my FB group whose first post was literally harmful information.
You can tell that AI is a great technology by how much it's being forced into as many places as possible by the ones trying to sell it.
Doordash is abusing AI similarly by adding product descriptions generated by AI if there isn't one. It includes things like ingredient lists, cooking styles, and quantitative descriptions that can all be entirely wrong. Gonna be fun when relying on the AI description causes an allergic reaction and serious injury or death.
My wife just hit similar, Google AI result invented a dish that didn't actually exist for a local restaurant. She was half ready to go until she went to the actual menu and figured out the described food didn't exist.

Not necessarily dead internet theory, but I hate how everything seems to be AI generated nowadays. In the past when you search for something you are likely to find an article or a post about it, now it is just AI generated slop.

I'm pretty sure the dude in the blue tank top is the guy who killed Inigo Montoya's father.
Thank you. I noticed he had six fingers on his right hand and thought..."someone's been looking for him."
Let's lock everyone at home give them virtual friends and virtual messages and they will be happy. Literally Meta Strategy, Meta Human - Corporate Bacteria.

AI is super expensive to run, yet these companies do EVERYTHING to make sure we are using it all the time - Microsoft is bundling it on every native app. They also openly admit they're not able to make it profitable even when considering the people paying expensive subscriptions to use it.
So isn't this contradiction suspicious? What's really the reason behind making sure we will use AI even when we didn't ask for it?
I suspect the plan was to dump it on everyone for free, get everyone reliant on it, then jack up the prices to make the investment back. Classic big tech play book, did it with cloud storage, did it with web hosting, did it with ride share.
But people haven’t really picked it up en mass, let alone made it something they’re reliant on. So they can’t jack up the price to pay for the cost of building out all the infrastructure. So they’re doubling down and trying to force it on everyone, hoping that somehow that will get people reliant on it.

That definitely needs to be a lawsuit against facebook/meta for the damage caused to the brand they're forcing ai slop onto.

I am just surprised people are still on Facebook. I deleted my account more than 10 years ago. Every other meta platform seems more popular like Instagram and Whatsapp.
Surely Google is doing the same,
Anyone have any examples?
Surely, this is now grounds for Google and Meta to be broken up as anti-trust?
