That's why this keeps happening.
Nobody's training a robot to be a thing - they're taking a robot that loosely memorized all of 4chan, and trying to put barriers in place to make it take your McDonald's order.
It's incredibly funny.

Despite the fact that again and again and again its proven that the best way to shop for anything, including food, is a searchable list

This isn't even re-inventing the wheel at this point, this is doggedly refusing to use a perfectly good round wheel in favor of a square one that burns rainforests

I once saw a demo for a VR app that let you walk around a virtual Walmart to buy groceries.

I don't think I need to say anything more.

The future is fucking stupid

I could see that potentially being useful in helping to give someone who's otherwise unable to go shopping for themselves a sense of normalcy, tbh

It's like how early digital organizers used a literal picture of a desk with a phone, calendar, clock, etc on it.

My favorite bit of that is the save icon persisting as a floppy despite not having been in mainstream use for like two decades now

except this is cute and cool and not a sign of a dystopian hellscape

And depressing. I'd be pissed if they did this to a character of mine.

And Sony wants to make whole games with that machine.

I can't wait to play the immersive sim where all the environmental email exchanges are anti-semetic and make heavy use of the t-slur

Asking the same thing what are we talking abt here 😭

-Fortnite has Star Was Season
-For the season, they put an AI Chatbot using James Earl Jones' voice in the game.
-Users have found that it says swears, calls other languages 'savage tongues', and is generally broken and crass to JEJ's memory.

Shit sucks! Doesn't matter what skin you put on it.

OH YEAH I LOVE THOSE NEON LIGHTS
HERE COMES OUR SHITTY FUTURE

Damn, I thought they just used AI the generate canned phrases, like in a normal game.

Why did they do this? How could they have not seen this coming?

squidradio.bsky.social•13 days ago

I still think Disney got offered a test-flight for consumer sentiment on a Darth Vader AI voice, saying as Jones' estate signed over rights before he died.

Test it out in the game, see how people react, see if it's worth it to use in a show. If it comes back rotten, shelve it for a few years.

Shareholders' frothing demand for AI is ever increasing.
