Google Gemini ad controversy: Where should we draw the line between AI and human involvement in content creation?

Jump

  • I installed Graphene OS. Loving it so far.

  • I think LLM's are incredibly useful in limited circumstances. But it needs to be on-demand, NOT omnipresent.

    For example, I'm learning a bit of C#. I was following a tutorial a few weeks ago that had some code I didn't understand. I spent an hour googling and reading documentation, but found nothing. I headed to ChatGPT and asked it what it meant. It gave a clear, easy to understand explanation.

    Unfortunately, the industry is going about this all wrong. Google wants to force Gemini on my Pixel. So I nuked Android. Microsoft silently installed Copilot on my laptop without consent. That laptop is now happily running Linux.

    Forcing these tools on people will just alienate people like me. In a way, I'm glad it happened. I'm much more satisfied now that these companies are minimized in my life.

    • Google is expanding Gemini access inside Google Messages to more devices

  • This was the push I needed to switch to Graphene. The Gemini offer popped up for me a couple of weeks ago. The only options were something like 'Yes' or 'Not now'. No option to say never, which of course means they would bug me again and again.

    So I reported it as Spam and made the jump.

    • First day using Linux Mint instead of Windows 11

  • I came here to say pretty much the same thing, but found your post instead. I just made the jump this week. I'm running a Legion 5 Pro with 2 SSD's, so I left Win11 on its drive and installed Mint on the other. They seem to be playing well together - no conflicts so far.

    I'm pumped on how simple it actually was! I wish I'd have done it sooner...MS has been really irritating me lately so I finally went for it. Loving it so far!

    • A bad influence

  • To me, this is its biggest flaw. You can't scroll back in chats very far, but you can search for lines further back. However in a truly spectacular display of uselessness, the search only returns the chat bubble you searched for, with no surrounding context.

  • Nice work! I'm not an HVAC guy but it looks good to me.
