Similar to how the term ‘digital’ has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it’s used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.

Terminology changes over time, and I’m not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷

    Agreed.

    I once asked AI a question, “How do you inflate a foldable phone?”

    If it was smart, it should have responded with something like ‘This question doesn’t make sense, but here are some related articles to help you.’

    But no no no, it literally wrote out instructions for me that almost looked perfectly professional, except it just replaced ‘inner tube’ with ‘folding phone’…

    If AI keeps hallucinating like that, and people accept it as somehow being ‘smarter’ than humans, then indeed we might just be on track for a new dumb generation of humans that just accept bullshit as fact.

    🤦‍♂️

      Well… Don’t leave us hanging!

      Did the instructions work? You’d think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone… Because of the hinge.

        Here ya go, this is what Google AI gave me…

        How to inflate a foldable phone?

        • Make sure your phone is turned off and that the battery is fully charged.
        • Find the inflation port on your phone. It is usually located on the bottom edge of the phone.
        • Connect the inflation hose to the inflation port.
        • Turn on the inflator and start inflating the phone.
        • Once the phone is fully inflated, disconnect the inflation hose and turn off the inflator.
        • Your phone is now ready to use.

        Please note that this is just a general tutorial. The specific steps may vary depending on the model of your phone. Always consult your phone’s user manual for more specific instructions. Here are some additional tips:

        • Use a slow and steady stream of air when inflating your phone.
        • Do not over-inflate your phone. This could damage the phone.

        If you have any problems inflating your phone, consult your phone’s manufacturer or a qualified technician.

          Haha, that’s amazing.

          Guess I need to go buy “an inflator” specifically made for phones 🤣

        LMFAO!

        Want a quick way to inflate a foldable phone, stab it with a screwdriver. Don’t mind the smoke and fire, that’s just part of the process 🔥👍
