AI Being Forced On Us

[DarthWingnut]

It is very frustrating to have Google trying to force us to use their (or any) AI to continue to use our services, but this is the direction the business is seeming to do exactly this. AI is not a worthwhile development for the business, it is a money loser, has terrible environmental impact, and is inaccurate far too often. The inaccuracy wouldn't be that big a deal except it is confidently inaccurate which means a lot of people start spouting off incorrect info, citing Google told me. The day that the AI is forced on my systems, I will be throwing my google nests in the trash. This is not what I want from a business.

AI is the way of the future , and it will develop and get better over time.   If it isn't your cup of tea , that's fair.  I would suggest donating your devices to someone who can use them , rather than simply throwing them out.

I promise, I won't just throw them out, I will  destroy every component, and ensure they would never be usable again. AI is the opposite of the way of the future, it is a dead end for humanity, and the end of our world and species.

Okay.. well.. have a nice evening.

This frustration is even more noticeable in online mobile games. When AI shifts from optional to mandatory affecting matchmaking, moderation, or gameplay it stops feeling like innovation and starts limiting player and developer control. Inaccurate or confidently wrong AI can harm balance, fairness, and trust, while also impacting performance and battery life. If AI is going to be used in  mobile games, it needs to stay optional, transparent, and genuinely helpful not something forced just to keep playing.
