Gross. This is just more proof that corporations simply don't know how to market AI. Everything is an ad for an ad at this point. The very first thing they show this new machine doing is helping people shop for clothes using AI. No one is doing that, these people don't exist. No matter how hard corporate America wishes they did. This is why AI doesn't sell. This is why companies like Microsoft and Dell are pulling ba…

Meanwhile i just tried to have Gemini AI on my Android read the screen to add an event to my calendar: it can't do it. It could , some year ago, which several articles wrote about. It no longer can. God this is so annoying. The actual functionality we need is not there or is half-assed.

It's the new assistant on my phone but it can't even set a timer or alarm when I ask it to. Gave up using it after that.

This is Google reacting to:

- laptop manufacturers and customers preferring Linux over Googles os shenanigans

- Apple Unified Business Platform, that is going to take an enormous piece of the enterprise pie

I dont think you are right. In the near future every purchase and every offer request will go through AI. I imagine you request 1000 offers from similar companies for your product wish. No longer do I need to spend 1 week searching for a good priced painter for my house. My AI does it. Same for all other products. At the same time, companies at the other side need to adapt to this situation and have to use AI to handle the massive amount of requests. Requests can be a real offer. But also crawl results from AIs. The circle is complete. Google wins.

Someone on HN a few months ago said that they gave up and decided to try Copilot in Outlook, which Outlook kept nagging him to do. He tried the example prompt that the nag screen gave him, whatever it was, and Copilot said 'sorry, I don't have that functionality' or something.

Not only the actual functionality people want is missing, but the functionality they're nagging us to use is missing./

It's like Meta advertising their AR glasses with it annotating prices over fruit at the grocery store - like why are you trying to sell me on some made up use case that doesn't even exist?

How is it getting that pricing data? By reading the giant, three-inch-high price labels that are right next to the fruit?

Call me crazy but I don't think that "discovering how much oranges cost" is a big enough pain point for most people to spend hundreds of dollars on smart glasses to solve.

> No one is doing that, these people don't exist. Unfortunately, they do. "Normie America" loves that shit. It's why they've been pushing it so hard: it's one of the few areas they're getting serious traction in day to day life.

Are you sure? I think "normies" would prefer to see and try on the clothes they buy.

I sooooo want to buy it and have every single keyboard stroke, mouse and eye movement tracked.

I don't know about you but these AIs ran out of internet data to train and I volunteer all my blood, sweat, tears and movements to improve them.
