  • We’ll have to agree to disagree. To go through your points, spell check I don’t find particularly impressive. That was solved previously without requiring the power demands of a small town. Grammer, maybe - but in my experience my “LLM powered” keyboard’s suggestions are still worse than old T9 input.

    I’ve had no luck troubleshooting anything with AI. It’s often trained on old data, tries to instruct you to change settings that don’t exist, or dreams up controls that might appear on “similar” hardware. Sure you can perhaps infer a solution, maybe, but it’s rarely correct at first response. It’ll happily run you through steps that are inconsequential to fixing a problem.

    Finally, it might be better than indexed search NOW - but mostly because LLMs wrecked that too. I used to be able to use a couple search operators and get directly to the information I needed - now search is reduced to shifting through slop SEO sites.

    And it does all this half assing while using enough power to justify dedicated nuclear reactors. I cant help but feel we’ve regressed on so many fronts.
















  • Lol visitors in my home are gonna get what they get, if they don’t like it they are welcome to not come over. Especially with animals, it can be extra tough to stay on top of it.

    My standards aren’t low and I’ll pickup, sweep and do a vacuum before company comes by. If the toilet is gross I’ll give it a quick scrub but I’m not going around dusting every trinket and shelf to satisfy someone that’s just visiting.

    Edit- I’ll concede there are levels to this. I aim to dust at least twice a month year round, so it’s never extraordinarily out of control for me. If previous holiday was the last time the shelves were wiped, that probably need addressed.
