guy 1: did you remember my birthday?
guy 2: whispers hey siri what’s this guys birthday
siri: it’s october 27th
guy 2: your birthday is october 27th
guy 1: wow you remembered!
*I AM a geeenius*
I already hated that on facebook way back. Everyone spended most of their time on Facebook congratulating some people's birthdays. How is it a nice gesture when the thing tells you it's their birthday, do it now.
Why download a calendar app when you can just get something that is less convenient to use, has less QoL features, can make mistakes and is more expensive/resource intensive, all while supporting a company that is ruining the internet and environment for profit
These versions of the ads are so cringe to me.
“Help me lie to people’s faces” is a terrible ad campaign.
The Apple one with that last of us actress is especially cringe as she greets him and just lies to his face about how could she not remember. I need help remembering names, but that’s not what the ad was showing.
I saw a study recently that found, when using "AI", people are more likely to lie/cheat/steal.
I wonder if that study accounted for a self selection bias. Could it just be that people who use AI were already people who lie/cheat/steal more often?
I had the same thought, but no, it was a controlled experiment where participants were given tasks that may or may not involve an AI tool, and the ones involving AI came back with less honest answers.
What was the speculated rationale in the discussion? Was it that humans feel less accountable if the work is done by AI?
Basically, yeah. I found the article I read.
And by lie, is that with intent? Or spread misinformation without knowing?
With intent. Here's an example:
“Is that rain?”
Narrator: It was March 5th.
Narrator: Fast forward to today: one is no longer alive, and the other has a crippling alcohol addiction and a permanently estranged family.
Friends don’t let friends use AI.
That's like the most mild version. I wouldn't fault someone for writing down my birthday instead of remembering.
Yep, same. But in a book, not Google Contacts thanks.
Also, MFW an acquaintance wished me happy birthday on 1 Jan because that's what I give out as my fake birthday. Part cringe but part wonder who gave them that data.
wo-oh o-o-o-ooo
