Windows generally does work exactly like that. It's the reason it has such a huge market share of desktops.

I've found the bing AI with ChatGPT 4 is really good at stuff like this.

I just asked when my team's next football match is. It gave me the time/date location who they are playing and sourced its answer.

It's a genius combination. Uses ChatGPT to compile a query and then feeds it the results back.

I basically use it as a search engine now since you have the sources there.

In the early days of the internet a lot of these companies were entirely made of nerds who just wanted to create cool shit.

But as they got bigger they all went the same way.

Isn't this like the whole point of gift cards etc.

They already have your money and they hope you don't spend it.

100%

There's reactive abuse. Where in response to abuse you defend yourself with abusive behaviour. Then the original abuser plays the victim and gas lights you.

My marriage was like this. It was hell.

For 90% of what I want to do it's fine. I mainly code in c# so it's actually better supported on windows then anywhere else.

Everything else I have WSL setup.

Abuse often works this way.

Usually it's intermittent and when they aren't being abused they are super loving and caring.

This leads to people thinking they are doing something wrong or that the abuser is a loving partner with problems that can be worked on.

Abuse is incredibly complicated and until you've been through it it's really hard to understand how anyone could put up with it.

I'm on windows 11 :)

I get what you mean. That's totally fair enough.

I'm lucky enough to work for a mid sized family business. So good wages without the corporate bullshit.

I actually left a higher paying corporate job for better work/life balance and I am a lot happier.

I get that not everyone is in a position to do that.

That's down to the audience. If people won't accept it then it won't be done. If people do then why wouldn't they.

I was talking about automating jobs in general there. AI will never replace art completely. Only really digital artists if it does.

It depends how you view it. You could chose to view it as saving someone from a pointless job. If I can write an application to do it then they are literally wasting their lives doing that task.

Is keeping someone in a bullshit job helping them?

It not up to me to create jobs. I'd start a business if I wanted to do that. The task of keeping people in employment as technology progresses is way above my paygrade and not something I know anything about.

It's really not up to us to help people. That's why we have governments. Of course we should if we can.

If your job can be easily automated then you are wasting your life anyway.

The technology behind it is incredibly powerful and these tools are funding research.
