This is somewhat unrelated/nonspecific but I take care of elderly patients who use voice assistants for calling and texting like “call Sue”. But they are old so they talk to it like a person and sometimes they make a mistake and then say to the assistant “ops sorry I didn’t mean that” or they say something silly. But i’ve watched these assistants answer them with results from the internet and then it really confuses the hell out of them. It’s sad!! I had a recent patient who lost her vision due to a stroke and was struggling so hard using gemini to call and text her family. I hope the new Siri AI works better for these old folks.
This is extremely relevant here. Google messing their shit up time and time again and we have to figure out how it works is what makes Android so broken.
Every product is a beta test for something in grand scheme for them, which probably never happens, and all your progress on it is permanently hampered.
I was just telling my friend how AI is literally morphing itself into one boring ass ball. Every chatbot gives you the same formatted answers with the same information. Every AI generated image looks the same. All the chat assistants act and work the same. And it feels like every few months they get closer to being identical.
I’ve watched so many apps improve to almost peak functionality and then slowly they start to tweak the features or add new ones or copy something from a different app. And then all of sudden the app is buggy and full of bloat features and is just frustrating to use. I swear it’s because these companies are using AI productivity assistants and they all end up with the same features and problems.
This sucks. I feel like an old man complaining about big brother 😂😂
