Could everyone stop quoting the “hilarious” wrong answers given by google ai? It wasted a bottle of water to tell you that terrible joke, water is life, ai bullshit is death, what part of this is hard to understand
I'm as upset as you at the waste but I'd argue that making everyone understand exactly how shit it is is really the only way we'll build enough of a PR problem for them to do stop. Google+ and Reader make it clear that whether people use a service has nothing to do with them continuing to run it!
(I mean: I'm not going to go out of my way to do wasteful AI queries just to find things to make fun of, but if they're floating around I think it's more productive to use them as a vector to criticise the waste than pretend they don't exist and leave more people not-upset with the service.)
Oh--yeah, I see that they are. :( Well, at least it is not yet built into the default search like it is with google? I know Ecosia has AI as well, but you have to deliberately go click over to it to use it, so that's what I've got on my phone now
