    Idk my IRL friends subscribe to the gibbity and they like that they dont have to search reddit for answers.

    Sad world we are in guys. No one IRL dislikes “ai”.

      I don’t see what people liking it has to do with the fact Google is making less money due to the ai summaries meaning people aren’t clicking sponsored links.

      Unless you think everyone you met likes it enough to start paying a monthly fee for it? Because I’ll bet they like it, but like it while it’s free

        Um…they do. Several of my friends have a gibbity subscription (they pay monthly) and they love it. my employer pays 3500 a month for a gibbity subscription. .

        Baffling how dumb people are.

          Must the circles you run in. I literally know no individuals who have subscriptions. Businesses, yeah, but individuals no. Businesses are the kind of client that will look closely at the cost vs benefits and move to cheaper options (eg locally hosted models that do 90% of what the subscription does at 40% of the cost)

      Well Google is making less money, so I am sure it’s not no one.

      But I share your experience. My apartment complex (180 units) is very close knit, we are all similar income so it’s not a very diverse group. But, amongst us, most people don’t even realize they are using AI, they just see it as an update of the already existing Google Search which was also a mystery to them. People that do recognize it as a new thing have ChatGPT on their phone and love the thing.

      There’s a slight chance that these companies aren’t losing money because of lack of adoption, but because of how expensive it is to train and keep these things operating.

      Really funny how you got downvotes for suggesting people could like it. Even though you preface that it’s a sad fact.

        Yeah its OK. I probably interact with more people IRL than other lemmings. And its bad out there. Normie’s in general loooove their slop bots. It stems from a lot of humans being idiots in general but also verrrrry tech illiterate.

          I am not sure they are idiots. We do the same as them on other domain that got industrialised sooner in history. Most of us buy clothes pre-made by industries we know being evil. We know the pollution is huge, we know it involve child labour, we know the clothes are of poor quality and soon to be out of fashion anyway. But it is cheaper and more convenient than to buy our clothes hand made at some tailor.

          We also do the same for fournitures, and some of us even buy industrial food.

          Why would they prefer human made things just for IT domain? And if we reject machine made things in IT, why do we accept it in other domains?

          I think I’ve only encountered clearly anti AI people twice IRL. What I found kinda ironic is how they both parroted the same anti AI talking points I’ve already seen online multiple times.

            Well yeah, I’d imagine anti ai folk are largely technical because we actually know what’s going on, and are probably more likely to be on something like the fediverse. Normies just go oh, google has sure gotten shitty and then they keep using it.
