Dumb machines that do what you want, like ticket machines, or self-checkout are fine by me, but if they start trying to get chummy with me, I’m out. Like the doors in The Hitch-hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
Yes, I can’t stand the obsequiousness of most LLMs. “That’s a great question!” No need to string words together to pretend to be riding my dick, clanker, just answer the damn question!
best addition of ML (i wouldn’t call it AI because that’s both tainted and not what it is) has been self checkout when you put fresh fruit/veg on the scales and tap the button, the selection window has a list of ~3 probable items based on computer vision… it doesn’t automatically choose for me, there are a few likely options, i can still select based on alphabetical if it’s not there, and it’s a tab at the start of the alphabet on the screen so i can go back to it… it’s just helpful, and doesn’t remove anything
I don’t want to interact with AI, but I also don’t want to interact with people.
So just a traditional computer interface 👌
If it could somehow get dogs involved, that’d be nice. I’ve never had a dig lie to me.
