AI is inevitably part of our daily lives now, and almost everyone and everything is incorporating it. But what is one of the worst incorporations of AI you've seen? I'll start first: I saw this hilarious article (technically not the WORST AI), about a guy who built an "Excuse Generator Pro" AI tool. Is it necessary? No. But is it also hilarious? Yes. Is it the worst? Depending on who you ask. So what are some of the craziest (WORST) AI incorporations you've seen?
So recently the EU implemented digital age verification that caused people to figure out that they could use Death Stranding's photo mode to get around the verification process (lol). The USA is about to start implementing something similar and Apple is supporting age verification through things like Verify with Wallet API. The internet has always been the place of "freedom" and safe haven for folks, is this step towards verification something that might eventually change that into a more restricted digital knowledge base? I'm totally in agreement with moderating how content can be distributed so it's safe for children but for some reason something feels a little off to me about this. I'm curious what everyone thinks! How do you think these type of policies will impact our future ability to interact with the digital world?
I often see Meta, Snap, Google or Apple ramping up their efforts for smart glasses. But,... I have only seen 1 or 2 people in my area actually have them. I think it's more hype than real use (and maybe I'm just in a bubble).
What do you think was just an overpriced marketing gimmick and has no long-term perspective at all?
My team and I have been living and breathing the world of short-form video lately. In the process of our work (more on that another day!), we went down a rabbit hole, analyzing over 100 viral TikToks and Reels to decode the "magic."
With the rise of generative AI, the conversation is all about what AI can do: write scripts, select clips, add captions. But our analysis revealed something more interesting: the most resonant, unforgettable videos thrive on elements that AI, in its current state, simply can't touch.
It s not a knock on AI; it's a celebration of human creativity. Here are the three big ones we found:
I m following a research project looking at how people interact with LLMs, and early results show people actually get more frustrated with AI chatbots than with humans, just for small errors.
Maybe it s because we expect AI to be perfect, so when it fails, it feels different, like it understands the yelling but you can t really empathize with it.
Anyone else notice this weird AI rage cycle? How do you deal with it when your AI assistant just doesn t get it?
In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.
