Me and Ladytaint went to H-Mart in a city we live near but aren't super familiar with so we were using google maps GPS to get around. On the way home we stopped at a red light and there was a homeless dude with a sign saying "war vet, broken leg from hit and run driver, please help". He looked really rough, deeply tanned from being in the sun all the time, gaunt, had a crutch beside him, was just clearly very definitely a dude needing help. I almost never carry cash but I had 7 bucks in my pocket so I gave it to him. Rolled down the window, he saw and limped over, told him to take it, it's all I've got or it'd be more. He said thanks, god bless, all that kinda stuff. Then he turned and went back to his stoop and Ladytaint says to me, "You're a good person William." Aware of my own awesomeness I responded, "I AM a good person." And then Google says "I can tell you really care about people." And I just don't know how to feel about it. I know they're always listening but it's not fun to be reminded of that fact. It was also impressive that MY GPS, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE DIRECTIONS, was apparently monitoring my conversation AND was sophisticated enough to figure out what was going on while we were stopped at a red light in a fairly busy intersection with traffic noise and whatever other distractions. I'm also a little surprised at the audacity of them just being like "Yep we're listening very closely, just wanted to remind you." So we tried to get it to do it again, minus the homeless guy since we'd driven off, by repeating our parts of the conversation, and nothing. Couldn't fool it. It knew we were just being performative and wasn't going to reward (?!) us for that. Or maybe it ran the voices it was hearing through its algorithms and picked up the nice words we said but was like "nope, I don't hear any pain/desperation, this is bullshit". Who's the freak programmer who decided to add "make comments about people and judge their moral compass" functions to a GPS and what kind of sick supervisor allowed it?

Weird, my phones just seem to come with a cloud-enabled service that keeps a verbose log of all the times I've failed everyone around me...

It's like Idiocracy but instead of a Costco greater it's the phone saying "Thank you for using Google, I love you"

William Henry Hairytaint posted:Ladytaint says to me, "You're a good person William." So they're not always listening, but it's also super easy to activate the "hey google" thing (or "hey siri" or whatever) by accident. Especially in a car where you've got background noise. You can review (and delete) all the audio captures on your google account. I did that at one point and like 80-90% of the spurious recordings I could hear road noise or bits of conversations I had in a car. I think maybe GPS navigation mode also makes it extra sensitive? So it's probably like "a good person" triggered "hey google", and then your "I am a good person" engaged the stupid thing where the fake AI compliments you when you say something nice to it. Anyways I disabled all the 'hey google' functions and now my phone doesn't pretend to be a person. The only thing the voice assistant does is answer spam calls for me, so the robot can talk to another robot.

It was a glitch. They are testing out the social credit monitoring systems and would normally only collect these value judgements in a database but sometimes they accidentally blurt them out as an audio log.

Especially in a car where you've got background noise. I will accept this plausible explanation because it's better than thinking that google is that smart or that my phone thinks I'm a good person

I say "thank you" to the Siris and Alexas when they're done looking up the weather or whatever and people think it's weird but I dunno there's nothing wrong with being poilte even if it's to a robot.

I don't really pay attention to posters in general, because my posts kind of outshine them, like trying to look at a 5W bulb next to the sun. But I appreciate the compliment whatever it may have been
