A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful (feddit.it)

Okay I'll bite. Where exactly has it not been useful? that you all have had the chance to interact least once.

In customer service. If I see a bot I know there is a 95 % chance I won't get the information I am looking for. If I could get the information online somewhere, I wouldn't have contacted customer service in the first place! I just want to interact with another human being who's able to understand my queries.

Yeah, it is so frustrating trying to get a question answered only to get stuck in a loop.

And then finally find an email address to talk to and their only reply is to talk to the bot...

The porn hasn't been very good. I can get around dudes and chicks with like fourteen fingers, no toes, and nipples that hover over their skin... but I draw the line at the dirty talk being "I'm glad I could help you with that."

It's useful for a lot of stuff but it's been waaay over hyped, mostly by youtubers desperate for content. So I think a lot of people are having a counter-reaction to that.

Once everyone calms down and realise it's not an automatic-do-everything-machine, they'll appreciate the circumstances in which it actually is useful.

Bonus points: find the landing page for any tech startup from the last 12 months that doesn't mention AI or LLMs
