    Remember 10 years ago when everything more technologically advanced than a flat toaster had to contain 3d printed parts?

    I don’t need to chat with my car, I have friends. I need 3 pedals, steering wheel and gear lever, so I can use a car as a car.

    Why do we need “enriching conversations” built in a car at all? Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on the road?

    VW promises it won’t force you to create a new account or install any apps.

    Not yet, anyway.

    I just want to fucking drive. I don’t need a conversation. Can we stop listening to dumbasses fresh out of their MBA program?

    So, they’re fresh off of rolling back their attempt to make everything a touch interface, which everyone hated… and they’re electing to go down yet another poorly-considered human interface rabbit hole?

    That’s a bold move, cotton.

    I’ll stick with my “stupid” 2003 Jetta 1.8T, thanks.

    This is so incredibly stupid. If I want to use ChatGPT, I’ll use ChatGPT. Not, “If I want to communicate while driving, I’ll use ChatGPT.”

    I’m very interested in machine learning, or AI as it’s usually referred to in hyped-up content, and have also done research in the topic of generative AI. It hurts me so much that such interesting and useful technology has become another empty hype word. Nobody is waiting for this kind of gimmicky shit. It does nothing but hurt the public’s view of this technology, similar to all the copyright issues and privacy concerns. Why must companies take things that can ultimately do something good in some cases and apply it to absolutely everything with no regards for the impact on their customers.

    Most companies don’t need “AI” and would be much better of spending those resources on actually improving their products. Useful places for generative AI would be something like Photoshop incorporating it, or a video game with better AI or more natural NPC conversations. Not some gimmicky AI assistant in a car, or some annoying AI chat window bothering you when visiting a news site. Soon people will be completely done with all this gimmicky “AI” bullshit and the useful applications will constantly have to deal with the stigma created by these greedy mindless corporations forcing “AI” on everyone in places where it adds nothing.
