"It's so great! It automatically writes the [wrong] answers to everything for you!"

AI bubble is gonna pop so hard.

They act like software = ai

Such a joke

Hey, just four days ago their selling point was that it had a rainbow on it.

Anything to make a buck.

Classic MBA holders. They don't understand where their companies profitably comes from and why, and are just trying to squeeze out profits. What parasites. Ah if I could deworm them. Individually. Up the butt kek. With actual dewormer. Maybe they'd get their act together.

Remember when that janitorial company changed its name to include the term CRYPTO and it's stock went through the roof and the SEC investigated them for fraud?

I can't find the story unfortunately

No no, i said sell it to me, not make me want to huck it into the nearest bin!!!

AI is the new IoT. You're gonna see it jammed into shit it has no business being in. And it's gonna cause major problems 10 years from now.

What a company calls "AI powered" in fact is stolen data and or underpaid workers on the periphery of capitalism

It’s like the late ‘90s where they tried to connect every common activity to the internet, like bar codes in the newspaper for coupons online.

They got it “right” when they stopped trying to make non-internet things direct you to the internet and just moved the non-internet things to the internet.

Now they’re trying to cram AI into everything. What’s the next step…moving your brain into the AI?

Yup. They don't understand what it is or what it does. All they know is that it makes even dumber venture capitalists open their wallets.

"It has a smooth finish, virtually indestructible, and it writes upside-down." [None of these will be true] "Also, with our Ink Anytime subscription service, you'll never run out of ink! It's free..." [for the first six months] "for our lowest tier..." [three lines of text per day] "with an option to upgrade to a higher tier anytime." [Puts pen in pocket] "We're offering pre-orders with a $5 non-refundable deposit, with delivery expected sometime in the next six months depending on how soon you get on the waitlist." [Two years until you give up and just let us keep your deposit] "So sign up now!"

The answer to the original riddle is "Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I'll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100."

Six years ago: "It's blockchain-powered!"

There was some LLM-powered pen in the makings, I haven't heard about it since. Was part of the Rabbit/AI Pin style of AI junk.

I’d buy an Al powered pencil though:

AI is the new HD

I had to talk to some company's chatbot yesterday that was just if/else powered. That sure was cumbersome to do. It couldn't even tell me the company's mailing address.

My piece of shit phone case says "AI Autofocus" on it near the holes for the camera lenses and it's ridiculous

The AI arm race has done so much damage to the environment and is creating more ewaste also. It sucks.

It's younger than 25.
