This is so stupid.
To me, "AI" in a car would be like highlighting pedestrians in a HUD, or alerting you if an unknown person messes with the car, or maybe adjusting mood lighting based on context. Or safety features.
...Not a chatbot.
I'm more "pro" (locally hostable, task specific) machine learning than like 99% of Lemmy, but I find the corporate obsession with cloud instruct textbots bizarre. It would be like every food corp living and breathing succulents. Cacti are neat, but they don't need to be strapped to every chip bag, every takeout, every pack of forks.
It's because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.
Funny thing is Teslas already have something more sophisticated. They could pipe the FSD's diagnostics to a HUD as a more polished, standard 'overlay' for the driver, literally run with the car's own hardware. You'd think Tesla execs would know about that since it's literally their business, and predates the LLM craze.
...But no.
There will be a day where they are efficient enough to slap into a label
like this. Your beer cans could chirp you for not drinking enough.
