a 100 dolla spy gadget that pumps out vapid observations is not it
We do not need AI in our world. Can we go back?
My take : The very last thing I need is yet another app sending me notifications on my phone. As is I only glance at 99% of notifications before just clicking "Clear all".
I can't stand that guy in the blue shirt. He talks too much. It literally took him 6 seconds into the show to take over. Not to mention he interrupts everybody and always wants to sound like a smartass. Does he owns the channel or something?
19:48 lmao
Schizophrenia: The App
Based on my experience the past few years, YouTube algo at times along with bots, no. I wouldn't like an AI friend.
17:02 OH MY GOSH
14:48 DAVID is so mart. SO SMART.
THE youtube video has 9.8k dislike, 2.5k like
5:40 HAHAHAHAHA
This is so creepy
13:50 talk about blowing impressions out of the water for comparison, 18million views 😭
At least they won’t push you into alcoholism
I crave ANYTHING without a screen and keyboard. I don't want to be carrying a phone. YouTube most of the time is radio. The rest I can watch on my laptop
AI is going to be a great tool to train people how to be good parents and good friends. So many people grew up in toxic families and relationships and never learned how to be "normal", to listen, to be empathetic, generous, etc.. Will users learn to be more like a gentle AI, or will they become tyrants who expect everyone to be their slaves/tools/marks? Should you have a sarcastic AI friend? Probably not.
This thing sucks but I would be down with an AskJeeves bot on a keychain that I could ask literally anything and get the true answer
Even paying that much for the website address, they will be able to sell it later (if everything is shut down)
sad A.I. friend. You really liked me as a friend like I like you. You'd pay for $29.99 package.
I think the Idea has potential. My hope was that it is just a small local llm. I think you guyses view has a bit been skewed by all the negative potentials of something like this. The movie scene is very biast towards that. There are a lot of books who explore also the positive potential for personal AI assistants, think the only positive one I remember in movies is Jarvis from Iron Man.
This is always framed on YT as „you have to be sad and alone to like this“. But I don‘t think the potential of such AI is in replacing your friends, but in having an „entity“ that is about your live. A kind of pet that can talk, like that robot dog on dr who maybe. I think most people will be able to separate this „relationship“ from irl relationships. This to me is similar to a „Nintendog“ if you remember that game.
Soon as I saw the ad I know Marques and his folks were gonna have a field day with this one. This device is PLAIN STUPID!!!!
I completley get the point. Who doesn't want a "person" you can confide in and just talk to that is infinitely smarter. Yes there are definite red flags to consider. But I find myself using chatgpt and wanting it to act more and more like an actual person. I see this being the norm. I just want to be able to ask my questions and have the a.i. answer instantly. EXACTLY like "Her". And if it can be the scar jo voice they removed form chatgpt even better!
Chat GPT already is my AI Friend ♥️
Just talk to your cat and sing a song to it , like a normal person.
I can see how it was gonna always be innevitable since voice Assistants rising but now I'd have to say it's getting silly we want ai stuff to help us do things easier not be our friend why tf would you want a non human thing to be your friend how weird can you get as a human
AI startup idea: revive your loved one.
I.think.thus could be a hit.
Who wouldn't. I talk to my chatGPT everyday, and i cant wait the future i cant even know that it's AI.
Can you do a review on emo robot?
so will it know that i was just drugged, robbed, and assaulted?
11:00 it can’t be real. It’s an ad for a comedy film or something.
They're actually just trapping human souls in these pendants, that's why it's different if you break/lose it
About as sad as the life size barbie dolls from years ago. Fortunately, they're just trying to sell a company instead of making something anyone really needs.
😂😂😂
mmmh, we've got a Hot Ones fan here
This is inspired from the movie "Her" (2013).
AI friends will prove invaluable to the aging Baby-boomer generation. Prior to AI agents (friends) tens of thousands of elderly people lived alone with poor health and diet care, slowly declining in mental health due to loneliness. Many died due to neglect. AI friends will remind the elderly to take their medications, to go outside for fresh air/nature, monitor their vital signs and contact family members and healthcare providers. They will also ask questions, make uplifting comments, read them books, and make them laugh.
I have to say, I am truly disappointed with what "AI" has turned out to be. From dumb chat bots to creepy ass art to fake videos, oh yeah, and marketing nonsense. I guess in Healthcare, it is useful as a diagnostic tool 😐 and then, of course, the military 🫡
If the pet rock were designed by the Stasi…
Again…couldn't this be an app? it's not like smartphone aren't always listening and looking.
