*I bet it wasn't all that boring if you were a Google AI and you were just automatically scanning it
@bruces I just left Google, they have AI fever. This is NOT something driven by a user need. It is a stone cold panic that they are getting left behind.
The vision is that there will be an Ironman Jarvis in your phone that locks you into their ecosystem so hard, you'll never leave. That is just catnip and they can't afford to let someone else get there first. (Apple is no different)
When the emperor, eventually, has no clothes, they'll be lapped by someone thinking bigger.
@scottjenson @bruces When your core vision is “what if people gave us more money for doing the same thing, but worse, and then we made them pay to get access to what we’re giving them now?” for long enough, you will one day look up and find you’re in an org with people who’ve been trained to strip software down, not build it up.
In this case the emperor might not need to worry about someone thinking bigger, just someone thinking conventionally, but with clothes on.
@scottjenson @bruces Is the Ironman Jarvis basically the Torment Nexus?
@scottjenson @bruces unfortunately this Ai panic is affecting many companies, including my own. I keep quoting Alan Cooper, “First to Market isn’t Best to Market.” Products don’t succeed unless they actually solve a need for users.
@scottjenson It's similar to the Google+ social fever in many ways...
@bruces
@ondra Yes! Good comparison (I was on that project as well... ;-(
