“Artificial Intelligence”: CEO’s create a copy of themselves in a computer, creating an expert bullshitter program.
Customer Service: Most pre-recorded phone loops are actually built to try to frustrate people into giving up and not getting their issue resolved. Further, they record calls not because they care about your experience, but so they can collate tons of data to further exploit you and their workers. CEOs have purposefully insulated themselves from ever directly having to deal with a customer and hide behind “well we didn’t tell employees to break the law!” while demanding employees hit numbers that… aren’t… possibe… without… breaking… the… law.
If it’s from a corporation and the PR says its to “benefit consumers” it’s fucking Snake Oil, by default.
When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they’re boned.
I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it’ll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc
Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like “front left camera is blocked or blinded”
Cue Surprised Pikachu.
In the snow, sometimes it can’t even detect a road.
I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it’s a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.
Full Self-Driving: For sure next year… maybe.

It was really bad
Any idea that comes out of that prick’s mouth is snake oil if we’re going to be truthful about it.
I just had the one month trial, it worked pretty well, but it’s too tentative. Like supervising a teenage driver.
