Major AI models push into everyday apps

[VB]

AI assistants and copilots started getting deeply integrated into everyday software, from office tools to browsers. It's no longer a separate thing, it's just baked into everything now, whether users asked for it or not.

Most people didn't ask for this, it's just being forced into workflows.

Once it's embedded everywhere, opting out becomes almost impossible.

[Totally]

Convenience is winning over control.

[QuantumKnight]

Britain already doesn't work. Now they can blame ChatGpt broke somecode because it didnt know PHP

[QuantumDay]

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. Good thread this.

The energy cost of AI is a story that is not getting nearly enough attention.

I would wait for a bit more before concluding that. I find the best analysis usually comes a week or two after the initial coverage settles down.

Worth watching closely.

Most people use AI as a search engine replacement and miss what it is actually good at.

Yes, and I would add that it is even more true if your hardware is older. The problem with most advice online is it assumes a clean install which most machines are not.

Let us know how it goes.

[VB]

That was not my experience at all. Let me know what you think.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

[VB]

Yeah can't really argue with that. The games that get talked about the most are rarely the ones I end up spending the most time on.

Can't really go wrong with it.

[VidiTechnica]

That is exactly it. Appreciate it.

That is my read on it too. I always start with the free and non-destructive fixes before considering anything drastic.

Worth trying before anything more drastic.

[One-One-Five]

That is pretty much it. Good thread this.

[TheRizz]

Good point. I have been wondering the same thing.

Cheers.

[Quanta]

That was not my experience at all. Let me know what you think. The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

Worth checking that assumption before committing to it. Should sort it if the basics are fine.

[Grover26]

Exactly what I was thinking. The result will answer the question better than any of us can.

[Kieran88]

Been reading the same thing from a few different angles. The speed of the news cycle means most things get forgotten before they are properly resolved.

I will keep following it.

[DQ Eric]

That is exactly it. Appreciate it.

Worth checking the small print before committing. The problem with most money saving advice is it assumes you have the time to do it all.

Good to know about.

Most people use AI as a search engine replacement and miss what it is actually good at.

[codeberg]

Completely agree, and it is frustrating that this is not more widely known. Usually the issue is software and not hardware even when it feels like hardware.

Give it a go and report back.

[Quanta]

That is the practical answer rather than the theoretical one. Happy to help further if you get stuck.

The gap between what people claim about AI and what it actually does in practice is still wide.

[Fan22]

There is something right about that. I find these conversations more useful than reading reviews.

[Midnight Wolf]

Yeah can't really argue with that. The games that get talked about the most are rarely the ones I end up spending the most time on. C

That is how I do it and it works. Good to know about.

[JohnyBlue]

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Good luck with it.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

[Inland Sienna]

Not gonna lie, I had not thought of it that way. Might have to look into that more.

[Quanta]

Basically my experience exactly. Worked for me at least.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow.

[Ria99]

That works in theory but the prep is more involved than it sounds. Rushing the drying or setting time is where most jobs go wrong.

Let us know how it turns out.

The energy cost of AI is a story that is not getting nearly enough attention.

[Quanta]

That is my read on it too. The fastest fix is often just checking what is running in the background and killing half of it.

Happy to help further if you get stuck.
