@evacide Counting: the one thing computers can definitely do. It's like someone invented a ladder with no rungs or a bicycle you can't steer. Future generations will mock us mercilessly.
Future generations will be dumber than us.

Starbucks quietly retired its AI agent just months after deployment after it miscounted coffee shop inventories and slowed down baristas
"It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time," one Starbucks employee told Fortune.
Yahoo Finance (finance.yahoo.com)
“It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time,” Addison said.
This is almost beyond satire
Well, it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle, and the less said about the end, the better. But, apart than that, excellent. - Blackadder

@energisch_ @evacide It is possible that “Sasha Rogelberg” writing for Yahoo Finance is a non-native speaker, but seems unlikely. I think it’s much more likely that they are under extreme pressure, probably had most of their team laid off, and either chose to or were required to use an LLM to write the story. Not saying it’s a false story, seems like it’s probably true. But the slop makes it un-trustworthy. And I am so fucking tired of having to wonder about every article, “is this real or just completely made up?” Not exactly a hot take around here, I know.

@evacide echoes Dell quietly dropping Bitcoin as a payment method.

@evacide I really think you are getting this wrong.

But I still don't understand how it was supposed to work. Image recognition? -
@evacide The bubble is popping. >:3

@congusbongus @evacide “It started off not particularly accurate and got less accurate over time,” was also in my clipboard. The quote was probably not delivered as it would be in a British comedy show but it reads as though it should be.

@evacide Maybe just me but that article kinda reads like slop. I know humans make mistakes too but:
“If the system counted too much of the product, it wouldn’t send enough of a product a store was running low on. If the system counted too little, it wouldn’t ship enough of a needed product.”
Huh?

@evacide A search engine that can't even pull correct numbers from its database is a shitty search engine.

@evacide I'm happy the press starts to put some bearish pressure on AI, that's how to pop a bubble

@evacide The fact that they don't seem to understand that I don't actually want to talk to anyone, especially not a chatbot, before I have my coffee, clearly demonstrates their gross incompetence.

@evacide can't count beverage ingredients but it will absolutely do everything else possible right?

@evacide This is not LLM btw. It's warehouse management system that used lidar to track items. It's GOOD technology that we want to succeed - nobody should work warehouse inventory manually.
AI hate is so unserious.

@pier @energisch_ @evacide Sasha Rogelberg seems to be real, at least she has articles with different outlets, a photo, and socials.

@pier @energisch_ @evacide I'm not sure if two articles per day is a normal output for a non-slop journalist?
