The Stupidity of A.I. Consumer Devices

In recent years a number of start-ups have tried to make dedicated consumer devices for A.I. The most well-known is Humane AI which made a wearable AI device. In this video we look at the idea of consumer AI devices and whether or not this is likely to be successful.

[@tonytins]

I miss the days when AI was known properly as "machine learning" with niche applications, such as text adventures, while the majority was just humble research.

[@darkjudge8786]

Exactly. There is zero artifical intelligence on earth as of today. There is just machine learning, deep search and large language models put together to fool stupid people

[@ashvio]

traditional ML still exists but is getting more scrutiny now because of bad AI press

[@Aeduo]

And funny cat pictures where the cats had like 6 legs.

[@MrMadvillan]

Probabilistic AI is necessary if you want to make sense of large datasets, which humans themselves can’t for things like earthquake prediction. The problem is that companies are trying to pitch it for knowable things(search) and things we capable of doing ourselves(artwork). It’s 💯 about finding a market.

[@neeneko]

I doubt the ML crowd is going to let go of the term. After decades of being the red headed step child in AI, now they are really profitable, so they are doing a bit of a victory lap of 'ha ha, we have more money now, so we were right!' Even though really it is still the worst branch of AI that just happens to run really fast.

[@BusinessDymystified]

I think the recent "success" of companies like Uber at disrupting how these legacy businesses are operated has made every startup CEO think they can disrupt the existing model. In this case Humane's CEOs think they can disrupt the entire smartphone market and offer an alternative

Not 100%. It's more of a coping mechanism. I remember the same thing being said about the internet (remember the Internet bubble) and the personal computer. This is the worse it will be. The most obvious explanation is a much better Alexa. No one uses the phone version. Too many companies use A.I. as a b.s. term but yes if you are smart you can make money with A.I. or just make your life easier.

[@kirishima638]

AI can produce results that are right in 80-90% of cases but then fail utterly in 10-20% of cases. The problem is identifying those 10-20% errors because they are often subtle and presented with the same arrogant confidence as the correct cases. Imagine hiring a mathematician who very often claims 2+2=5 and doubles down on it when challenged. And if you need a human being to effectively check that output then you may as well ditch the AI. This makes it useless for serious work, as McDonalds found out when their AI order system intended to replace human employees and save money, produced ice cream with bacon toppings and infinite nuggets. It’s about trust and liability, a lesson a lot of companies have yet to learn.

Rabbit r1 was a clear scam and Coffeezilla has been covering it pretty well. I'm just stunned they shipped it.

[@howwitty]

My theory is that the pin was not the original product concept. There are plenty of companies vying to be the U.S. version of Tencent, perhaps the AI was designed to be injectable or implantable and they thought it would lack broad consumer appeal. Think pacemaker meets Facebook. But not everyone is on Facebook and fewer people have pacemakers, so the product was redesigned as something one can wear instead. While this is pure conjecture, it seems like the announcements from Tesla about cognitive implants would have also deterred Humane from competing with Tesla in the cybernetics and/or AI market. And this is kinda sad, because we already had pagers back in the 80's, which is what it turned into in marketing department approved watered down version.

If you have been "Involved in AI for some years" that means you can skip developing your startup company's new product and still get tens of millions of dollars from tech people. The product doesn't work, the pricing doesn't work it's just that the folks are all "looking for the next big thing" and they don't care if it will work or make money. Juicero was awesome. It wasn't a viable product, it's pricing was wrong, but, it was "subscription." Therefore it burned all their investor's money when all they had to do was sit down and think about if it was viable. Sun Micro knew the product, price, margin niche runway and couldn't build them fast enough. Xerox had the only plain paper copier in 1959 and they couldn't sell them fast enough. John Y Brown had a fried chicken franchise and he couldn't build them fast enough. When the product and timing are right you're never going to get a shot at that deal...

And force people to become dumber and dumber than they already are because everything is being done for them and in the end, they won't be able to do anything anymore without the help of AI.

[@JosephKeenanisme]

Exactly that a solution to a problem that no one has in the first place. The tech bros are so into capitalism but the customers are telling them that they don't want to buy their BS. Capitalism works that way too.

I'm waiting for the AI 🔨 so I can call off work more often

[@ML1.0]

I cant wait until this bubble pops

[@alimc5382]

I work for a commercial an insurance company…they are investing in AI…for actuarial and underwriting rating…so there is a market but not for creative….insurance is numbers and data driven which makes sense

[@bobtarmac1828]

Good ai? Maybe. But with swell robotics everywhere, Ai jobloss is the only thing I worry about anymore. Anyone else feel the same? Should we cease Ai?

[@hotsauceislethal9430]

AI is the biggest bubble we have ever seen growing and it hasn't even barely gotten started yet.

[@glock7061]

Spot on video and especially painful as I'm myself an AI researcher. There is potential in machine learning, but for something like chemistry, not this humane garbage

[@stephenrose7259]

Finally! A voice of reason. AI looks like the biggest technological head fake in history.

[@tjbellah349]

Technology is truly incremental. Earth shattering innovations come along every hundred years at best.

[@user-ps8ym1sq4y]

Incremental, yes. Hundred year intervals, I don't think you understand what technology is. Automobile came out late 1800s/early 1900s. Very shortly after that, we had planes! Then, only 40 years later, we had nukes! Only 20 years after that, we landed on the GD Moon! And 30 years after that, we had the internet! That is 5 "Earth shattering innovations" within one 100 year span. WTF are you talking about?

[@mzxa9988]

I can't imagine being a lecturer in chatgpt era, I am sure now 90% of them now use AI to finish their report and assignment

[@pavloz1818]

People are calling some incredibly basic automation possible 50 years ago AI. This is ridiculous.

[@skug9bob]

A lot of this is driven by the stock market: as long as the market thinks AI is the New Big Thing, making it known that you are implementing AI raises your stock prices, and so companies are incentivized to oversell their AI products and push stuff out regardless of how well it works.

[@ninjahedgehog5]

Man. Venture capital sure does love its marketable buzzwords. To the point that they misuse them constantly

[@shumandaniele]

7:30 tech word salad, liberally mixed with buzz words

[@MilesBellas]

Humane AI should work in CONJUNCTION with phones as a PERIPHERAL: great for cities where phone thefts are an issue.

[@MarkSheeres]

Haha. Back in old timey days they would put a little person in a box to create a chess playing “Machine.” Now instead of a little person in a machine, it’s 1000 people in a call center.

[@kokop1107]

As someone who studied AI, compliments, very sharp analysis

[@stellviahohenheim]

You're a student to AI?

[@rantlyy]

How does someone “study” AI? 😂

[@dwood2010]

The ballE thing is actually neat. With more capability it could be the first generation robotic personal assistant. It makes me think of Haro from Gundam.

[@zzkzz7727]

great video

[@dyskelia]

I’m so tired of all this predatory tech crap and of every single thing in my life being tracked. Like, Google doesn’t need to know my heart rate and sleeping patterns. We should own our data the way creatives can own copywriters of their work. I’m completely disinterested in this.
