A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I assume they thought they would get more personal information from people when they ALREADY STOLE IT ALL IN THE FIEST PLACE.
Glad to see these companies realizing they are wasting money on this mostly useless trash
Lol seriously. The personal info scams have to be hitting some kind of ceiling by now, like with these diminishing returns what else could they possibly want that can translate into profit at this point?
I'm thinking they were hoping that people would jump on it so hard they would rely on AI to make decisions and tell them what to do, but Microsoft would hold the keys to what information the AI put out.
Generally, though, when you force things down people's throats and they don't want it or want to use it, you're in for a bad time. I personally go out of my way not to use AI; there are tons of articles and talks out there about how it stifles critical thinking and research. That, coupled with how early it is and how they tried to put it in EVERYTHING, put a bad taste in my mouth just like Y2K many moons ago.
Its just wrong too often, I use it when all else fails or if im really lazy on basic basic stuff like editing a template sometimes feels easier to answer questions vs clicking through
