Corporate: (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Is this AI?

They've been claiming things like rice cookers had AI for decades, so at least this isn't part of the current AI hype.

Give me Bluetooth rice or give me death

If you don't pay your monthly vacuum fee, Hoover will turn it off remotely.

I saw a Bluetooth toothbrush that send reports to your phone on how good you brushed your teeth, like wtf?!

Adding Bluetooth to a vacuum cleaner does make it suck more.

I use Bluetooth all the time for speakers and headsets, also the PlayStation 3 controller was Bluetooth, so would that not mean AI will be a top of the line tool in 2 years? I personally don't use it for anything at the moment, but in 2003 Plantronics released Bluetooth headsets for corporate environments (IP phones usually still used to this day).

Seems like more of a we aren't sure where this tool is most useful yet, but it will be used by many people around us.

A friend of mine works in marketing (think "websites for small companies"). They use an LLM to turn product descriptions into early draft advertising copy and then refine from there. Apparently that saves them some time.

Copilot is often a brilliant autocomplete, that alone will save workers plenty of time if they learn to use it.

I know that as a programmer, I spend a large percentage of my time simply transcribing correct syntax of whatever’s in my brain to the editor, and Copilot speeds that process up dramatically.

The problem with GenAI is the same as any system. Garbage in equals garbage out. Couple it with no tuning and it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Good GenAI can exist, but you need some serious data science and time to tune it. Right now that puts the cost outside of the “do it by hand” realm (and by quite a bit). LLMs are useful given that they’ve been trained on general human writing patterns, but for a company to be able to replace their functions with highly specific tasks they need to develop and push their own data sets and training which they don’t want to spend the money on.

Quite possibly. I don't think I've ever had any Bluetooth device work without hiccups. My old earbuds used to disconnect or lose pairing all the time. A couple of game controllers I have only worked intermittently for years. My phone is always losing connection in our car. I've ironed out some of the problems, but I've never had Bluetooth just work for me.

Bluetooth is like the SpongeBob "repeating then saying something different" meme where you go through the whole annoying pairing process, then it plays through the PC speaker anyway

Bluetooth with mobile devices I'd agree. But my work pc hates Bluetooth devices. Such as refusing to use the correct audio channel with headphones, so I still use wired headphones.

I've always felt Windows could be temperament with Bluetooth, especially pre Windows 7. Like XP seemed to be a shitshow for Bluetooth.

Yep. I have middle management above me gleefully cheering the fact that ChatGPT can write their reports for them now. Well guess what, it can write those reports for me, the actual person doing the real work, and you are now redundant.
