About three months ago I brought a guitar online. A bit less than $1000.

Company I never ordered before from called me, asked me Q's from my credit report "In 2001, did you own a White Toyota Corolla?"

Made me fill out a form they emailed me.

Then, the guitar which was "in Stock" when I placed the order online became "Backorder". I just cancelled after 10 weeks of limbo.

Today I found you can't wire transfer more than a piddling amount less than the monthly wage of an average (not as much as NY or CA average) Public School Teacher with a few years' experience, between two domestic banks without filling out a form in person at a branch, and confirming a text message code.

Online sucks. In the end I just called somebody up and my problem was solved in 2 minutes.

I would say this graph will also work for before computers were invented and when AI was publicized.

Maybe the UFOs will return, the ones that disappeared when smartphones became obiquitous.

You can make your own, though I don't see the input box here:

Maybe this is the place to do it:

Perhaps I shouldn't have made a new AI thread this week - did not know about this one.

So.

I'll just post this right here:

There is to much risk to have large transfers done though a mouse click. You want the bank employee to verify not a computer.

Wait! Computers can be off by one?

Artificial intelligence needs to get better, it can't predict winning lottery numbers. So sad!

It was the bypassing trannies that jumped on it and started dry humping it that was truly disturbing.

AI is finding a market right now. Once that is established, the process of AI replacing human workers will take about as long as it took Germany to conquer France.

We are looking at another year, maaaaybe two.

Students everywhere are using ChatGPT-4 to complete their college assignments.
What I’m wondering is when will they figure out that the same AI who “helps” them now will be doing the jobs they trained for before they graduate.

Lottery numbers are not random, they are picked by a computer alogorithm.

You'd think this would have been a huge scandal, but it was barely mentioned. The entire system is a scam.

I dunno, it seemed pretty helpless when I asked it two simple questions. One it managed to answer correctly after 8 iterations and the other one it didn't get right until I ran out of 10 allowed by the free trial. The thing is: if I didn't know the correct answer for the 1st one I would've stopped after first iteration and went away with incorrect info. As for the the second one: I know the answer is incorrect and useless, but I don't know the correct answer either. Well, scratch that, I know it now, but I did find out by good old search and reading through an article on the subject from a known reputable source.

So I couldn't make this long and complicated jdbc url work (it's failing with a syntax error but looks completely fine to me) so I asked Bing AI what's wrong with it. Should be easy for something ready to replace all white collar peeps, right? The fucking thing recommended to remove one closing parenthesis leaving the whole url with unequal number of opening and closing parentheses.

Yeah, this shit is ready to take over ANY SECOND NOW!

And you know what ChatGPT suggested? Attempting to connect to the database and seeing what error will it display. When informed that the error is reported as a "syntax error" the fucking HAL recommended to check syntax! At least it didn't offer an obviously wrong answer, but fucking shit, man! It's totally gonna replace EVERYBODY!!! SOON!!!!
