"Platform interaction!" baybee.
Sigh.
Feels a whole lot like social media, doesn't it?

a tool that they company owner put in to try to make more money for themselves, despite already having more money than they and their entire family could ever spend.

The greed is amazing.

I mean- stop calling everything that is computer assisted "AI". Like mammograms with "AI" tomography- it's not AI. It's computer assisted image enhancement to allow radiographers to see tiny things that the human eye can't see well enough.
This upsell tool at the dealership is just that-

It's "AI" and it hallucinates constantly, and its only function seems to be to try to sell you stuff you don't need."

I guess the owner of the company needs a new yacht?

FFS.

And thank you to the good people who work at places who know what a crock it is and choose to ignore it.

top off all the fluids, check the tires for leaks and fill them if they need it. Your car only needed a new battery because the one it had was super old. And after replacing it and testing the electrical system again- the AI said your car needed a new battery. Which we already replaced.

The Service Department manager handed me the list of suggested parts or maintenance, and told me to ignore it all- the AI seems to be programmed to try to upsell *everything*.
His words- "Just ignore it all, like we do. We do what we always do and give everything a once over, do all the testing,

every car needs new tires (like it did with Tati's car- which has tires that are only 4 months old). And it tells them they need new radios, new computers, new alternators, new radiators- for cars that are fresh from the factory. Brand new cars that have less than 10 miles on them.

so we took it in for a check and a new battery- basic maintenance shit.
Meanwhile, the company decided to implement an "AI Assistant" in the Service Department.

An "AI Assistant" that the people that work in Service told us that they have to completely ignore because it keeps telling them

Figured that out afterward, and I will blame missing it on lack of coffee and sleep. But I still stand by my dislike of AI slop.

This does look really beautiful, with an interesting twist on survival and helping the world to heal with your unique abilities.
Thanks for posting this- I probably would have missed this one on Steam if you hadn't.

This looks really interesting!

I don't do decaf, but my daughter swears by this stuff-
(No idea how long it takes to ship though, she says it can vary widely- feel free to ignore if the Oprah endorsement is a deal breaker):

just keep the kids off of the places they connected with each other after growing up in the Covid Era.

In other words- take the easiest way out, instead of doing the work to pass Internet regulations.

I foresee a spike in teen loneliness, depression, and increased anger and rebellion down under.

Hahaha! Turns out that when the kittens were in quarantine in Anni's room for the first 3 days- she would pets hin and say "Hey buddy! How you doin' today?"
So she knew his name and didn't bother to tell the rest of us, lmao.
Not mad, just cackling over it ,uncontrollably.

Ali, Diva, and Buddy. 😾😸🐱

If you can't say what your name was there and tell me it was hard to remember anyway- I am not going to blindly trust that we were close there.
You are going to have tp give me more info that only you and I would know or you are going to be blocked as a possible scammer trying to get one over on me.

To be honest, I have no idea who you are and haven't been on Twitter for several years now. So I have no clue where we supposedly know each other from, and *anyone* can say "We knew each other on Twitter!" here, since most people here are people who left Twitter or rarely use it these days.

I didn't make the rules of the game, I just followed the ones the game-maker gave us.
Though I have to say 6 fingered people of any gender are just a bit of a no go for me (no GenAI, thanks).

Being able to scratch both butt cheeks if they have an itch- yeah. Little stuff you never thought about before, you just did it. Carrying a laundry basket with both hands, putting on a jacket, being able to pick up a coffee pot and pour into a cup in the other hand without missing... yep.

So glad you healed up well and are getting better and better each day! The little baby steps at the end add up, though frustratingly slowly. It's been years since I had either shoulder surgery- and I keep up with ROM PT on both- and yes, I still see little improvements over time. Onward!

You know, I still enjoy Kiss music, but Gene Simmons can eat my whole ass, unwashed and covered in Icy-Hot and limburger cheese.
