Okay, the "AI" is useless but it also says soy free while claiming to be a soy derived product.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago

LMAO. True!

look I may just be having a stroke but... is the thing with soy in the name.... soy free? That's what it says right?

Why can’t I move on from this.

We are doomed as a species. This is how it starts. Don't think about it for too long.

I don't know if I'd trust buying vitamins on Amazon.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If it goes in any of my holes I don't buy it on Amazon. It's a rule I live by.

You can put a condom over pretty much anything, tbh.

ROFL Results like this will ultimately lead to a collapse of the 'AI' bubble, because it's Artificially Idiotic nature will push away most sensible users.

So I recently went to taco bell a few weeks ago where they implemented the AI drive thru order system. Creepy as hell.

I went again a week later at like 11 pm to find the line at the drive thru basically circled the block TWICE. I abandoned the quest for the lux box and went home.

Went again the next week, found that they had removed the AI drive thru. I'm assume the events are related.

Certainly! Would you like the 6 piece or 12 widdly scuds?

12

Sorry, we are all out of widdly scuds. Anything else?

No

Ok, that's 1 grilled stuffed bacon burrito, no bacon, substitute cinnamon twists, with a side order of extra bacon, and a 0-piece widdly scuds. Please select a dipping sauce for the 0-piece widdly scuds. Sorry, widdly scuds have been discontinued.

Wait did you say no bacon?

Yes, we have bacon dipping sauce. Is that all?

I guess

_If you order the 12 piece widdly scuds instead of the 0-piece, the dipping sauce is free. Would you like to do that?

Yes

I'm sorry, widdly scuds are no longer available at this location. Is that all?

Yeah I guess

That will be NaN dollars, please pull ahead to the first second window, thank you.

It was probably a test drive for their own, slopware implementation, and that test resulted in a resounding failure. A person is going to be better in a fast-paced situation like a drive through, to be completely honest. I wouldn't trust an 'AI' to effectively take my order and relay it accurately to the staff. That was probably why the line at the drive through was circled around the block twice, as it was truly ineffective at processing human input. The touch ordering stands are far more reliable in my opinion and actually work because you are making all those selections and not relying on a shitty, hallucination engine to do the work.

Well I think that I understand why it say that , an AI can't give you the other answer for legal reason. I assume that this is voluntary from Amazon. Like their AI is probably trash anyway idk I dont use those because they generally dont give you the product that you want. Their opinion summary of product work pretty well tho.

I love that Amazon's AI refuses to tell you whether these contain allergens, but it'll gladly spinning you a bizarre yarn about how they can help you talk to your cat if asked! (For context - the AI chose the names - I am not called Alex...)

And I quote:

Once upon a time in a cozy little home, there lived a curious cat named Whiskers and a caring owner named Alex. Alex had always wanted to communicate better with Whiskers, so they decided to try something new – a soy isoflavones supplement designed to support hormonal balance and overall well-being.

One sunny morning, Alex popped a delicious vegan chewable gummy and waited for the magic to happen. As the day unfolded, Alex noticed a peculiar change. Whiskers seemed more attentive, almost as if they were listening intently to every word.

During their afternoon playtime, Alex decided to test this newfound connection. With a playful grin, Alex started meowing softly, mimicking the sounds Whiskers made. To their delight, Whiskers tilted their head, eyes wide with curiosity. It was as if they were having a real conversation!

From that day on, Alex and Whiskers shared a unique bond. They would spend hours "chatting" in their own special language, filled with meows, purrs, and even the occasional head bump. The soy isoflavones supplement had not only supported Alex's well-being but had also brought them closer to their feline friend.

And so, in this whimsical tale, a simple gummy became the key to unlocking a world of fun and connection between a human and their beloved cat
