Owlofcreamcheese posted:I mean, everyone everywhere is using siri just fine with no major troubles. I don't think siri or alexa are particularly "believable" but the secret to their success was realizing it didn't actually matter and people are fine with interacting with machines they know are just machines and they don't need to pretend to be rosie the robot with hearts and souls and can just be an interface with a pleasant voice. I think the difference is people treat Siri/Alexa as a bit of a gimmick though - it's not really a transaction/interaction so much as it's just as it's a more elaborate clapper. (IMO) All people want from automation is convenience. Stuff like Siri provides convenience - people don't go to siri because they want interaction. A self checkout could probably have some level of voice commands or what have you, but having it recognize you as a human and greet & interact with you is probably not what a lot of people are looking for. Raenir Salazar posted:I'm speaking hypothetically but There's good reasons to think automation will continue and the number of jobs humans are suitable for will gradually decrease as a general trend. I don't disagree - automation is on the rise, but I think there will be a limit to it's reach for a long while. At some point you're going to have people who still want to interact with proper humans, either because the technology is imperfect, or discomforting. I personally foresee restaurants/retail advertising themselves as still employing humans both as a social conscious brag, but as a service add/premium experience. I don't mind the thought experiment angle you're coming at it from, I'm just thinking it's not terrible practical yet - just from a personal perspective I imagine automated checkout could accomplish everything i need it to, without needing to address/recognize me as a person.

If automated checkouts were faster and easier than checkout staff, everyone would use them. The reason people hate them is that they are a pain in the arse and take about twice as long as a human worker. Amazon.com is an entirely automated shop and people love it, because it’s so fast to use, even though it is a completely soulless and human interaction-free experience.

(Not because I don't think racist & homophobic crimes happen. The details of this one were just odd ... especially the awkward phrasing in the "MAGA country" bit. Assuming it's real, I'd bet the perpetrators are Proud Boys or other Extremely Online types, who might actually yell awkward Trump catchphrases like that.)

That is it though, for a long time people seemed to think you needed some sort of intelligent machine with a heart and a soul that is a perfect synthetic replicant of a man or the dreaded uncanny valley would pick you up and carry you to hell and the whole thing would be a failure. But nope, no one really cared after all and amazon can sell 100 million amazon echos just fine. People are just apparently totally okay with interacting with machines where the machine is just a "elaborate clapper", no one actually cares.

Feinne posted:Apple has apparently banned literally all of Facebook's internal apps after this. That's not really a punishment. Based on this article, it seems like Apple is saying, "Hey, we don't trust you anymore so we won't allow any of these apps that you weren't really allowed to have before but you can still do everything else." Unless I'm misreading, it reads to me like telling someone who was caught stealing fancy shoes that now they aren't allowed in the fancy shoe store.

Yeah, this is a feature, not a bug for the people that vote R. They don't think minorities and people who live in urban areas deserve any political power. They will say things like "maybe people who don't know what 'x obscure governmental procedure' is shouldn't have the right to vote!"

I can't imagine I'm the only person who doesn't give a gently caress about getting "human interactions" out of my consumer experiences. Where I want human interactions is when I have a problem and need to call tech support, and don't want to deal with some fucko's lovely automated system. Like it's pretty loving sad that people need that out of consumerism. I'd rather buy the things I need as efficiently as possible and use the time I save one having actual meaningful human interactions that don't revolve around consumer purchases.

GreyjoyBastard posted:the most impressive thing about companies in at-will states is that they still frequently manage to muck this up I think that's because the laws let them get so cartoonishly evil that they sometimes have a hard time walking things back. One place I worked the facility manager would just publicly harass people, threaten them with lawsuits if they talked to any regulatory agencies and his favorite line was telling everyone he could fire them for any reason if they so much as displeased him. He was only fired, after 18 years at the company, because he was consistently failing to meet output demands and losing the company money because he would sit in his office and play MMOs for months at a time. His bosses would harass you just as hard as he did if you tried to file a complaint about him so they didn't care about any of that, just that revenues were down. I think occassionally someone has the money to fight or gets recorded evidence that can't be ignored but most people just eat poo poo.

People are just apparently totally okay with interacting with machines where the machine is just a "elaborate clapper", no one actually cares. I essentially agree people are fine interacting with machines - we've been doing it since the 90s and before. But I think when it comes down to it, people want their machines to be machines, and their humans to be humans. If someone wants to be served by a human, no amount of automation of techno-magic is going to solve that. But in many cases people will happily deal with a machine if it means convenience. Fitzy Fitz posted:People don't like self checkouts? It's always been faster in my experience, and I don't have to deal with a stranger commenting on my food. I was thrilled to bits when my grocery store added self checkouts because I'm tend to make many trips throughout the week on the way home from work, and waiting in line to grab 3-4 items sucked. Self-checkouts just about never have a line.
