Volkswagen says it’s putting ChatGPT in its cars for “enriching conversations”::Volkswagen is putting ChatGPT into its cars starting in the second quarter of 2024. The feature is being considered for the US, but plans have yet to be finalized.
ChatGPT is a cancer.
I think of it more as the inbred child of down syndrome siblings that eats lead paint.
You guys dare to explain why you think of it like that? It’s invaluable tool at work - writes bash one-liners and code that usually works from the first try.
You might know the saying that if your code complies on the first try you did something wrong.
Skynet, eventually.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
I found this on the web for, “no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no”
I just want to fucking drive. I don’t need a conversation. Can we stop listening to dumbasses fresh out of their MBA program?
It really feels like 2000 bubble. Everyone seems to be so invested in it, but more and more looks like this will burst and take many companies with it.
Oh god please, p PLEASE just burst the AI hype bubble now.
It’s almost as if they want you to be as distracted as possible while driving

So, they’re fresh off of rolling back their attempt to make everything a touch interface, which everyone hated… and they’re electing to go down yet another poorly-considered human interface rabbit hole?
That’s a bold move, cotton.
I’ll stick with my “stupid” 2003 Jetta 1.8T, thanks.
Man i wish I could’ve kept my 2003 mk4 GTI with a stick but it’s just falling apart. I’ll miss it.
Yeah, it’s a rattly little bastard, but it’s got the 5-speed and I love it to bits lol
I don’t need to chat with my car, I have friends. I need 3 pedals, steering wheel and gear lever, so I can use a car as a car.
Why do we need “enriching conversations” built in a car at all? Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on the road?
VW promises it won’t force you to create a new account or install any apps.
Not yet, anyway.

This is so incredibly stupid. If I want to use ChatGPT, I’ll use ChatGPT. Not, “If I want to communicate while driving, I’ll use ChatGPT.”
Who doesn’t want spyware in their car?
You WILL have AI in every device you own and you WILL enjoy it
Drink your verification can verified by AI.
wrong, you won’t own your devices

First thought: out of touch execs adding features no one asked forand can find on their own if they really want it to justify price increases and higher profits.
Second thought: what kind of AI software do they really want to use that they are using chatgpt to justify having the hardware there for?
Maybe to offer self driving support in the future. More likely to improve the quality of data they can sell.
Know what feature I’d really like to see in new cars? No data connections other than maybe Bluetooth, though I don’t have much confidence they’ll use an implementation that isn’t riddled with long-fixed security holes. Though a secure Bluetooth implementation could be a feature! Same with secure remote unlock that uses cryptography instead of a signal that can be sniffed and spoofed. Also the ability to blast hot air at my windshield without having to run the AC. Physical buttons for all car and environmental controls, plus volume, track skip and ff 15 seconds that Spotify can understand. And a screw hole intended for a phone mount.
Don’t worry about a touch screen, you (most car companies in general) suck at both designing software and choosing hardware that isn’t underpowered for what you want to do with it. I don’t want a piece of tech that is just going to annoy me every time I have to use it.
inb4 someone gets arrested for some shit they admitted to a chat bot in their car
Remember 10 years ago when everything more technologically advanced than a flat toaster had to contain 3d printed parts?
