Got a kick out of this earlier, thought others here probably would too.

    I walked past a woman in Costco the other day who said to her phone, exasperated - “I don’t want the AI, i want my grocery list!”

    Amazing, truly amazing times we live in.

    (with apologies to the estate of Dr. Seuss)

    why the fuck are you apologizing to the descendants of the guy you were inspired by?!

    This is what permission culture does to a motherfucker.

      I agree and so wonder how they can justify dropping so much money on something people don’t want, expect for free, and burns through resources like crazy

        Easy. Google doesn’t sell search. They sell ads and consumer data. The longer you spend searching, the more they make from both. The ideal scenario for them is to give search results that feel helpful enough that you keep coming back, but are actually so useless that you never find a link that takes you away from the search results for good.

          But I’m sure anal probing the entire world population would cost them less than running AI on those probes phones.
