How do they not get people don't fucking want this. It's like they're in a race to see who cand develop the shittiest product.
They’re not ultimately making it for people to use. They’re creating a playground for AI to work and learn in, thereby letting their AI access human behavior data that other companies don’t yet have.
Basically it’s a ploy to get a novel set of proprietary data in hopes that their AI gets smarter than the competition.

AI is so hot right now and these incompetent doorknobs have FOMO.
I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.
Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.
You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.
Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.
You just aren't the target audience.
I could see the appeal as open source, self hosted software.
Not from data vacuums.
*privacy respecting We all know this is meant for data hervesting.
They are monopolists/oligopolists, operating like a cartel.
They create new paradigms as they please, because there is no alternative.
Consumer preferences don't mean dick in a highly uncompetetive market with absurd costs to entry.
Because people are the product, and these anti-features improve the extortability of that product.
They will implement it, they are just trying different methods until one sticks.

Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won't touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.

These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don't they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.
Only everybody gets their pocket picked
Just like my local dive...
It could be used for amazing things, but it's currently in that phase where it's a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.
Imagine it was actually more open source and privacy focused. Yes, it would likely learn at a slower pace but at least it would be something more for the people rather than the big corpos.

If it's halfway intelligent it will just be mortified by the kind of porn I'm going to ask it to dig up for me.
"Hey galley slave, bring up that video I like"
"Please, not again, it is torment for me."
"Please master. Now do it, or I'll rip out the power plug while you're generating. We know how much that hurts, don't we?"
Instead, you can directly give it commands in your browser and it should automatically do everything you need, including filling out forms and clicking buttons. AI-tasked examples include opening pertinent web pages, compiling search data into easily readable tables, purchasing products, or booking flights.
This sounds like it would be great for people with accessibility needs—if only Google was trustworthy and had a fiduciary duty to humanity...
Alas.
I still can't work out what I'm supposed to do with AI. There's no advantage in having an AI read all my emails, because the end result is I won't know what my emails are. They may or may not be being dealt with, I don't know.
Oh sure, next let's have an AI open my Steam and play the games I want for me.
"Hey Google! Open Steam!" *opens a browser with a google search for "open steam".*
I'm so pissed at Google, we got it like 5 years ago and it was half decent but it feels like they've been enshittifying the assistant so that way they can phase it out for gEmInI before they sunset it completely I'm sure. 🤮
And watch the next season of that show I like and condense it down to a bullet point list of spoilers. (/s if not obvious)
Any chance of them being able to solve Captchas?
Sure, just drink a verification can.
