First, you should be able to interact with it naturally, in text or voice, and have it understand you.

Second, it should be able to see what you see and be able to offer guided support.

And third, it should be able to take action on your behalf.

Fourth and finally, it should be able to destroy your corporeal form and live on as digital-you liking your aunt's dog pictures on Instagram and writing Facebook posts about immigrants taking our jobs, with just as many creative slurs as you would use.

Take action on my behalf? Absolutely not. Go fuck yourself AI.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

If you're stuck with Win11, this will unfuck quite a bit of it.

we need more PCS without oses or with a Linux distro instead.
(e.g, Raspberry pi, building your own pc)

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

It's obvious that Windows and Microsoft remain as evil as they were in the 00s when they basically singlehandedly held back web development with ie6 for a fucking decade.

Meanwhile I'm making every one of my computers Linux.

First steps of windows install:

  1. No to everything for data monitoring
  2. Google or Opera default browser
  3. Disable or ignore all copilot icons
  4. Unstick all user folders from OneDrive
  5. TranslucentTB

All your points are a bit questionable:

  1. Sure, you should click no to almost everything Microsofts asks anywhere, but that hardly helps. Use privacy tools like O&O Shut Up to actually disable spy stuff.
  2. God no. Vivaldi is nice if you must have Chromium (this is made by the guys who used to build Opera, before it was sold to shady new owners), otherwise Firefox.
  3. See point 1.
  4. Just uninstall the damn thing, or some tools of point 1 might do this for you.
  5. If you must, sure.

Using Enterprise version of Windows is the best option, it already has most of the malicious stuff left out.

Yah... You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)

This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).

google as default browser

You sweet summer child, Google is as bad if not even worse than Microsoft. Chrome is no longer the browser the memes that glazed it used to depict it as.

Also, didn't opera sell to some spyware company? I'm team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 2 points 7 hours ago

opera has been owned by chinese company since 2016.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

You forgot the step where you ignore step 2 and use Firefox.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 8 hours ago

Google or Opera default browser

What about Librewolf,there is a build for it for windows but no auto updating

[–] Corridor8031@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i think the whole problem is that they call it AI, which basically describes it as something that it just cant deliver

[–] krypt@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

It can deliver.. your personal information to the states +third-parties

[–] eddyizm@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

return of the clippy, now named skynet.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point, regular use of AI should forbid you from voting. It not only means that you can't make decisions on your own, but that your choice can be affected by the people owning the AI service.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Someone I work with puts every question they have into GPT. They are completely incapable of having an original thought anymore.

GPT is causing real life brain rot for the general public.

[–] medem@lemmy.wtf 14 points 1 day ago

...and 99,99% of middle managers '''working''' in tech be like yeaaaaaaaa daddy just cram that shit down my throat like I'm an abused goose!

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Oh thank God. I need more AI in my life to be useless

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

With 68% of consumers reporting using AI to support their decision making, voice is making this easier.

sure, maybe as a reference tool. not as fucking something that can perform actions on my computer

Second, it should be able to see what you see and be able to offer guided support. And third, it should be able to take action on your behalf.

How to either make more sheeple or convince more to switch to Linux.
