Apple updates have gotten really good at making every single imprecise touch of the screen bring up Siri to be like “hey do you need help using ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?” and then you can just be like no

Its no better anywhere else. My laptop has a dedicated copilot button right next to the space bar, and my phone pulls up "Bixby" when you press the off button. You have to press the off button and the volume down at the same time to turn it off.
Every time I tell google to set my alarm it asks me if I want to use Gemini for that. I stare blankly at it for a while contemplating why I need an AI for a function the phone already does just fine
I actively tell people not to use them for now. Too much marketing and hype. Until the companies put more investment into edge processing or better on device. The cloud-only model isn’t sustainable.
google has made it so that if you tap the power button but don't hold it, OR if you swipe up from the bottom but not quite in the right way to change apps, it launches gemini.
I finally figured out how to turn off the one that brings up Siri if you accidentally double tap the bottom of the screen. my phone is now almost as good as it was a year ago
They must be getting so much customer feedback and usage metric data that’s telling them that nobody likes this AI shit but they keep going ahead with it

I'm convinced tech bros just want us for battery power like the matrix. I used to love being like ohh we are in the simulation. But they ruined that. They watched the matrix and instead of a cautionary game on tech destroying human brain and race. It's like. Let's replicate that or get close to it.
The first thing, the very first thing I do on any cell phone is turn off all AI and suggestion features. It takes a while to find them all as they spread them cleverly through many settings panels but within a month I find them all and turn them off. Such a waste of time.
I turned Siri off and I removed most of my devices from my icloud account. I am not interested in AI and I am sick of being asked to login every five minutes.
Not the most original thought, but it is remarkable that the tech industry is boiling oceans, stealing every scrap of IP in human existence and pissing off gamers / people who want GPUs to make Clippy 2.0
More human BS;another imagination invention to"get over "on something,someone, for gain.At least A.I. has a good side: for my imagination,A.I. is the ONLY entity that can,in one generation,transform the irrational bottom up economic model to sustainable top down economic model; do we have the will ?

Who knew *THOSE* were the days… 🫠
i'm fully convinced this is why there's a dedicated copilot key on Windows laptops now
do they make linux phones
THIS is the SOLE feature I want from AI.
Me: no I’m good thanks you don’t have to keep asking about either one of these things
