    “Do you really want to receive an ai generated letter?,” one user asked.

    That’s the whole point. Nobody deserves to read a generated letter.

    All users of AI: PLEASE learn that simple fact!

      Obviously not just with Silicon Valley people. This is not how you do testing. Duh. Just came here to hate?

        Well, it’s a bad commercial. I’m genuinely wondering what groups thought this was a great idea when the majority of people exposed to it find it a terrible idea.

          The article doesn’t say what type of testing they did. Clearly it wasn’t enough.

    I’m sure they’d be pleased when the letter they receive back is also written by AI. Just cut out the middle man and have the AIs talk to each other at this point.

      I think they don’t matter with outrage, because outrage explodes in ways that are hard to predict. I mean, I can see the problem with the ad now that it has been pointed out to me. After reading about it repeatedly, I now find it bad and ridiculous and what were they thinking? But at a first look, as a test audience I would have probably rated it as “meh, ok”.

    The whole point is to make everyone stupid, uneducated and reliant on big tech.

    Why learn to drive when Apple and Google will drive you around?

    Why learn to write if you can have Microsoft, Google, and Apple write for you?

    Why learn to read if Microsoft, Google, and Apple will read for you and tell you what things say?

    Why learn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or play an instrument if Google, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft can make art for you based on a suggestion?

    Why think for yourself when Facebook, Google, and Apple can tell you what you’re thinking or what to think?

    Don’t be alone with your thoughts. Your thoughts are subversive and dangerous. Just relax and don’t make a scene. Go with the flow. Do what you’re told. It’s presumptuous to believe you know better than a finely collated corporate collection of knowledge taken from millenia of those smarter than you, don’t you think?

    Relax, everything will be ok. Your AI therapist is here and knows exactly what’s wrong. You worry too much. Everything is under control and is the way it should be.

    Smile more, you’re so pretty/handsome when you smile.

    Google has actually shown what the future will look like, but, as always, instead of taking action, we will criticize. (little help from ollama)
