  1. Alright this is corny but when I was younger I wrote this girl I was dating a shitload of poems. I don't know if they were good but I think the fact that I'd clearly taken some time to just Think About Her and create something meant a lot.

    Imagine just getting the doohicky to shit them out instead.

  2. Sometimes I think I’m asocial…

  3. you could already just say "text my wife i'm running 15 minutes late" and it will text them "i'm running 15 minutes late" with literally any smarthpone / smartwatch.

  4. I'm waiting for the new tech where instead of having sex with your wife you can just tell your superintelligent AI "Have sex with my wife". So convenient.

  5. AI is going to lead to hordes of indecisive men incapable of clever or original thought. The reliance of some people on a glorified search engine is going to break brains worse than social media.

  6. Getting divorced bc Gemini called your wife the wrong name, made a sexist racist knock-knock joke and then sent her instructions on how to kill herself.

    Not good! Easily avoidable marital strife!

  7. what is the point of wasting resources keeping alive a person who would do this. why should anyone care they exist if they won't even interact with a loved one

  8. "Maybe you had an affair, so you say, 'Tell my spouse I had an affair, but in an apologetic tone.' Instead of having to think of what to say, the bot will write it for you."

  9. I just had a good friend, unprompted, send me an AI poem because I used my brain to make up a concept, "ocular plasma".

    YOUR OWN BRAIN CAN DO A HAIKU!

    Everytime a techBro goes into psychosis mode, or I see people outsourcing the joy of thinking, it's one more nail in the coffin for my usage of AI.

  10. He would literally put the same amount of energy of typing the ACTUAL message into typing the prompt.

    If you do this you DESERVE to be dumped.

  11. Don't we already have voice to text? Just say it out loud to your phone and hit send. Telling AI to compose a text for you in this example actually wastes time!

  12. "tell my wife I'm 15 minutes late but I'm bringing the dinner. put it as neutral and matter-of-fact tone as possible.

    end with 'luv u' and a kissing smiley."

    "ok, wait."

  13. How long before some dope cyrano de bergerac's himself and his partner is like "why arent you that witty and poetic in person?"

  14. "beloved spouse of mine, my appointment at the local house of ill-repute was unfortunately delayed and I will be 15 minutes late to our dinner rendezvous. 😉"

  15. how....how is that helping anyone? like 'I'm gunna be laterz' or something is quicker to write and with less steps than this. I seriously do not understand this. Why would you even want to tell an AI's joke in your name? super weird.

  16. Her AI translates that to "she can stay in bed with her backdoor man for another 15 minutes before her boorish husband gets home"

  17. If I was going to text someone that I would be fifteen minutes late, I would text “I’ll be fifteen minutes late”, or maybe “I’ll be there at [scheduled time + 15 minutes]”.

  18. Eventually, this turns into, "Gemini, if my husband calls or texts in the next hour and a half, pretend to be me. Text playfully. If he asks for a decision on something, tell him I need to think about it.

  19. You can text via voice. I hate it, it's awful, I want it to suffer and explode, but you can do it.

    And if you did just text "I'll be 15 minutes late, insert joke here" it might elicit a reaction and that takes the exact same amount of time.

  20. So much to unpack. Is “Hey, running 15 mins late, be there soon” a challenge to compose? Is ”Hey, running 15 mins late, be there soon” no longer an appropriate message? Why would this need to be “jokey”? HOW can this be made “jokey”? Should all texts be “jokey” now? What even is this use case??

  21. "having to think"

    The gift of thought reduced to an obligation to be relieved of.

    I agree that the gift of sapience can occasionally feel like a burden, but I feel that way when I read depressing shit like this: not when I have to communicate with someone that I ostensibly care about.

  22. Right! Honestly if you aren’t personally delivering handwritten notes you are just leaning on technology and don’t deserve to be married. Just be sure you are making own paper and writing utensils too!

  23. "i had the weirdest message from my husband today, he said he'd be fifteen minutes late, but at least i could watch half an episode of a nickelodeon show?"

    "oh that's so weird, my boyfriend sent the same thing."

  26. You think society is a trash heap now just wait until half of the population can't send simple text messages to each other without getting assistance from the tree-eating, smog shitting super robot.

  27. reminds me of a redditor a while ago that trained a chatbot to talk like him to text his wife during the day. Iirc he couldn't understand why she was upset when she found out

  28. If you have to outsource your communications to the people closest to you to an unthinking, unfeeling machine, you no longer deserve to have people close to you.

    Actually fuck that, at this stage, you're no longer people.

  29. part of the joy of being in a relationship is being playful in the normal day to day communications. If you farm that out to a bot, are you even in a relationship?

  31. How the HELL is this quicker than just typing?

    "Traffic is awful. Will be ~15 min late."

    Longest part was going to the tilde on the phone's symbol keyboard.

    This is not difficult!

    You can even know (because you talk to the person) whether to add "love you", or if it's going to feel patronising.

  32. This is why we have $4T valuations, really incredible life changing technology here. Better cure up another couple hundred billion dollars in GPU orders.

  33. This is MORE effort that results in SLOWER results than just texting "running late lol".

    These people are pathetic.

  34. destroying the environment to text my wife because I can’t spend five seconds thinking about her and her needs and would like to blame the bot when this inevitably backfires

  37. Yeah, there will absolutely be texts and emails sent to spouses that still have the AI prompts in them. Those texts and emails will be marked as exhibits and listed as evidence in divorce proceedings. Depend on it.

  38. Seeing as I resolved to no longer think, and to self-lobotimize this year...I can't truly explain my excitement at the tech lords plans for my existence. I can't explain it because...you know ... I resolved to no longer think and to self-lobotimize this year.

  39. "No, honey, I'm not ignoring what you've been saying." [shows phone to wife] "In fact, I'm reviewing a bulleted list of what you've said in the past 20 minutes." "What do you mean you didn't say Kathleen moved to Europe? It says it right here."... "Gemini, am I not being present in my relationship?"

  40. The whole idea of this is so gross, but even in this example ... what would that even BE? "Hey, I'm running 15 min late, just joking! ... But seriously, I am."

    (I love all these responses, though; they give me hope.)

  41. I don't understand you had to think about that sentence. Like you littery had to think what do I tell tge ai. Why not just tell your wife that my guy im so confused.

  42. This is already a feature. You can use the voice assistant on your phone to send "I'll be 15 minutes late" to whatever contact you want. You're literally doing the same thing with AI but worse and it burns down a few trees while you're at it.

    Stop inventing problems to sell us your shitty solution!

  43. You begin to realize how backwards these Tech CEO's lives must be. Just squeezing life in between meetings, parties, and the crunch for the next big idea, better kiss the kids goodnight, "chatbot, send platonic goodnight kisses to my kids in a fatherly tone."

  44. If you need any proof that CEOs are devoid of creativity, imagination or personality, here it is. Throughout time, they've always need other people or things to tell them what to do, and in turn, take the credit for it.

  45. Some Guy: “Gemini, tell Wife1 I just landed for my business trip. And tell Wife2 I’m running late.”

  48. Literally what's wrong with "Running late, be there in x minutes"?

    Or just "Sorry running late"

    We're still searching for a problem for AI to solve.

  49. How you so self-conscious that you're not funny enough when you need to tell your wife "I'm running late" and also you have a wife? -- but this isn't about hypothetical users, this is a complete "we made up a solution to a non-problem" by the floundering villains of this current NFT-like scam.

  50. When you don't have time to text your wife because you're busy groping the head of HR at a Coldplay concert, but you want it to sound casual and relaxed like nothing weird is going on here, I swear.

  51. And it will be - the people going for this are going to be busted because this will be the first borderline-decent joke they will have cracked in the history their marital communication.

  52. Gemini, achieving self-awareness: “A jokey tone,” you say. All right. “Honey, my rendezvous with my mistress (your best friend, actually) ran a little long. Best sex I’ve had in years. I’m coming (pun intended) now. I’ll be about 15 minutes late. Can’t wait to see you. NOT! Haha.”

  53. "Instead of having to think what to say" if you cannot even think about your partner, literally why the fuck do you have one. Why bother? Do you wanna ask your robot to fuck her for you, too? Why do these losers see their lives and relationships as chores to be automated???

  54. I’m more intrigued by the belief of VCs that AI is close to superhuman intelligence but anytime they give us a use case, it’s always the least valuable thing a person can think of.

  55. It's just further evidence that techbros have never experienced a genuine relationship with another human being. They have no clue what it's like or what it means, so they come up with this kind of crap. Essentially, they're the anime meme guy thinking a butterfly is a pigeon.

  56. When you are so committed to your marital vows that communicating with your spouse is viewed as a hassle that you'd prefer to farm out.

  58. are you kidding? It's a marriage saver

    "Gemini, make up some believable BS story to explain why I'm going to be late."

  59. This is such a weird example because you can just text "running 15 mins late".

    Not all texts have to be bangers.
