      They’re not ultimately making it for people to use. They’re creating a playground for AI to work and learn in, thereby letting their AI access human behavior data that other companies don’t yet have.

      Basically it’s a ploy to get a novel set of proprietary data in hopes that their AI gets smarter than the competition.

      They are monopolists/oligopolists, operating like a cartel.

      They create new paradigms as they please, because there is no alternative.

      Consumer preferences don’t mean dick in a highly uncompetetive market with absurd costs to entry.

      I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.

      Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.

      You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.

      Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.

      You just aren’t the target audience.

    Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.

      It could be used for amazing things, but it’s currently in that phase where it’s a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.

        Imagine it was actually more open source and privacy focused. Yes, it would likely learn at a slower pace but at least it would be something more for the people rather than the big corpos.

    “After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information.”

    Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

      Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?

      That means no mare ads.

      Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service…

      I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.

        I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I’ve ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.

          At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.

        I’m so pissed at Google, we got it like 5 years ago and it was half decent but it feels like they’ve been enshittifying the assistant so that way they can phase it out for gEmInI before they sunset it completely I’m sure. 🤮

    These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.

      And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing

    If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can’t trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?
