A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Almost to the day, a year ago I was in the market for a new mouse and I searched for "鼠标" (computer mouse) on Taobao. On each page (of 100: the max it will return) of 48 results, at least 30-40 results would be "AI" mice.

Compare and contrast with today:

Maybe I'm blind but I'm not seeing a single "AI" mouse there. Just to be sure, I searched specifically for "AI鼠标" (AI computer mouse):

Sure enough there's plenty (maxing out the search results again!) listings for AI mice.

But AI mice are no longer the default they were last year at this time. The world's largest market has decided that AI is no longer That Thing That Will Be Everywhere.

(Also of interest is that almost all the AI mice are linked to Deepseek now, instead of ChatGPT as they were last year.)
