AAesthesiaphilia replykbin.socialSF is a tech hub so yes, they're probably a company trying market their AI chat support to other companies.8
ssky lemmy.codesink.io6Hide 6 repliesOne of my favorite parts of living in SF were these dumb billboards. They're so bad - though this one is a bit more dystopian than most.34

MMike D. replylemmy.worldThat section of the freeway always has niche tech billboards. It took me a little while to get used to.6
AAesthesiaphilia replykbin.socialNow most of the billboards are about privacy - we value your privacy, our company keeps your data private, blah blah. From Apple, Whatsapp, and Google rofl. Like "we have always been at war with Eastasia" levels of bullshit.7

rresidentmarchant replylemmy.worldThat and Rippling! I feel like every trashcan in the city is Ripping or a weed delivery company. Funny how they both chose the trash cans!1
bbill_1992 replylemmy.worldHow many of these billboard/muni and bart ads are by companies who end up failing? It really seems like the billboard/transit ad is perfect for founders with too much money and not enough marketing sense.2
mmarkstos lemmy.worldMeh, they already have this job. How many times have you had to go through a text or voice chatbot to get a human already? Should we complain if these bots actually get more useful and answer our questions faster? Yes, they will be confidently wrong sometimes. But so are the humans.8
iillah replylemmy.worldSo true, a lot of smart people where I work seem to buy the whole “all human knowledge” aspect of GPT models 😬0
AAesthesiaphilia replykbin.socialIt's real, actually, I just saw it the other day. It says exactly what's in the photo.9
Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?
Yeah, I’m unclear on whether this is for or against
It’s for Intercom per a follow up billboard down the road, thought it was an activist billboard at first.
Lol and still AI chat it’s are like “is your problem with windows 10 or windows 11?”
“Windows 11”
“Great, happy I was able to help you today, please fill out this short survey on how I did”
“I believe you’re mistaken. Windows 11 does not exist, and I’m unwilling to continue this conversation.”

Why would this poorly photoshopped image be worth posting?
