Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? Not So Much. 0
A shill for merch? El Reg explores how Google plans to infuse its AI with ads.
(Another reason to loathe AI.)
Aside:
My new Anddroid cell phone keeps nagging me to use Google’s Gemini AI.
I keep telling Gemini to go away. (I don’t need nor want what amounts to a talking search engine that chooses search results for me, which is basically all that AI is.)
A couple of times, before I’ve gotten a chance to tell it to go away, it’s eavesdropped on my conversation and started talking on its own, saying stuff that is irrelevant to whatever the conversation was about.
As far as I’m concerned, AI does not stand for “artificial intelligence.” It stands for “annoying interrupter.”
