Why in the fuck do i need an AI companion on my TV.
To record your browsing practices for your profile that they sell.
That's why corporations need us to have/use AI companions. I still don't see a point in me having it. Let me decide if I want it.
I work in IT as support desk. I dread it when I hear the user say I used chatgpt or open AI. Hell, the company I work for tries everything to block that shit because of how bad it is.
I work for a pretty large organization and we have a pretty large IT staff. I had an issue I was trying to solve; I don't remember what it was, this was months ago, but it was some specific nuanced thing where I sent out an email to the distro for sysadmins saying something to the effect of indicating I was having a specific problem with a specific thing and was looking for a SME who was familiar with that thing, who would have the time to come by and help me solve this specific problem with this specific thing.
I had someone who responded, said they can help, we scheduled a time, he came by, asks if he can use my computer to look something up...
...and then proceeds to pull up some GPT AI based tool and starts typing the question into it and then reads off my screen to me to tell me to do the things that the AI is saying to do - ideas which I knew well enough to know weren't relevant or wouldn't help.
Imagine you say "My car is making a weird noise when it idles, could I get someone who is familiar with cars to take a look at it" and someone says they can help, then types "car makes noises" into Chat GPT and starts saying shit to you like "make sure the keys are inside the car" and "verify the windshield wipers are turned off."
