I genuinely don't get it. Its a fucking trash chatbot that's doing perceivably nothing beyond taking jobs away from people?

Like am I an insane outlier here when it comes to AI and robotics? I cant imagine having a fucking robot in my home, let alone one run by an AI. Nor can I understand why the fuck people want their cars to have it in them with the ability to monitor their biometrics.

Maybe I'm just the outlier here, but I genuinely have no interest in the slop machines or their potential clanker bodies and see no use in them.

You really can't see why people would be interested it robotics, automaton and getting information through natural language queries? It sounds like you have your perspective and you need to put yourself in the shoes of the average person. The kind of person who views all tech as a magic box.
