A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because AI is your shiny new hammer and everything is a nail now, so you really, really need to use it...
On a more serious note: Cramming AI into everything (and even inventing new stuff that absolutely needs AI for some reason) and then making people heavily pay for AI once they can't escape that bullshit anymore is basically the only way to ever get the insane investments pumped into the AI bubble back. And even that is highly questionable.
Putting AI into software that doesn't need it isn't even registering on the insanity scale anymore given that there is now 'AI included' advertising on fucking tooth brushes.
