It's Meta's AI chatbot, now available in your Instagram DMs.

Can't spell METASTASIZE without META!

Oops, thought it was Microsoft AI BS. Hence my Windows comment.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And what's app. 100% chance whatever you type in the bot gets fed into your own personalized algorithm!

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And Messenger.

I honestly have no idea what it does, because I have no interest in that shit and have never clicked it.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I clicked it by accident and it began talking to me. I'm pissed off and think I'm going to delete Instagram. (I hate it but my SO messages me there a lot).

Whatsapp has ai? Is it country exclusive?

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

And Facebook Messenger. And WhatsApp.

i thought it was Bixby but this is much worse

it's like every company now is going "DO YOU WANT MORE AI IN OUT PRODUCT?? OF COURSE YOU DO, AI IS SO TRENDY WITH THE KIDS NOWADAYS"

Maybe Windows Cortana? idk I don't speak proprietary

[–] superfes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought MS abandoned Cortana? I wouldn't personally know (been living in Linux for almost 20 years).

copilot might be a good idea if executed properly, but knowing microsoft they're not going to execute it properly.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How would you like to see it implemented?

[–] Maiznieks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would like to see it not implemented

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

Oh cool, what distro are you running? I use Arch btw.

I'm so not looking forward towards having to switch to Windows 11 for my work PC.

I'm working primarily with WSL and Neovim, but still: bleh. =.=

Edit: Apparently, this is Facebook's and not Microsoft's AI bullshit. I mistook the former for the latter.

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

why do you have to switch? purely software reasons? just curious, not going to try to tell you how you could achieve the same things on linux or something

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 support will end in 2025. Simple as that.

Windows is company policy.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Just don’t use Meta products

The Meta AI chatbot, now in your Instagram DMs.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not showing up for me. Illegal in Europe or something?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are many honest criticisms of closed-source Beeper, but I use it so that I don't have to use Meta's apps which will ever-evolve into more powerful data-consuming monsters that they are.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know about Beeper.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

https://www.beeper.com/

It's an app to aggregate your chats over a encrypted Matrix protocol, but using Beeper's Matrix servers as relays.

There are complaints about the app being closed source, the app being incompatible with other matrix servers besides their own and they will be implementing an optional paid subscription in the future. All valid criticisms, but they also have released the source for the bridges to each service so that tech savvy people can set up their own service using a different Matrix app.

It's useful for me as an easy way to stay connected with the various contacts on those platforms (until Beeper I was prepared to just go radio silent on them), while still maintaining a degree of separation with Facebook.

Been using Gentoo since 2004.

I am getting so irritated with AI everywhere. It doesn't even work right. It just seems so lazy

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And it seems actually pretty basic. I tried asking it a couple of things just for my amusement and it all could have been written by a teenager.

[–] Darorad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, cause people are just hooking stuff up to chatbots and expecting it to do everyrhing instead of actually building tools for the job they need
