Volkswagen says it’s putting ChatGPT in its cars for “enriching conversations”::Volkswagen is putting ChatGPT into its cars starting in the second quarter of 2024. The feature is being considered for the US, but plans have yet to be finalized.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
I found this on the web for, “no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no”
I just want to fucking drive. I don’t need a conversation. Can we stop listening to dumbasses fresh out of their MBA program?
It really feels like 2000 bubble. Everyone seems to be so invested in it, but more and more looks like this will burst and take many companies with it.
Oh god please, p PLEASE just burst the AI hype bubble now.
It’s almost as if they want you to be as distracted as possible while driving

Perhaps one of the stupidest fucking ideas ever. “Let’s add more and more and more distractions for drivers. A touch screen so they have to stop looking at the road! An AI to distract them with inane rambling, because we think that’s an enriching conversation since we are also robots. Add that to the ads on radio fucking with you by being different volumes and having car beeping noises and shit in them and WE WILL FINALLY ERADICATE THE DRIVERS”
Fuck that shit.
Hi. This is Volky, the Volkswagen AI powered by Microsoft!! I see you want to start an engaging conversation about anal sex during constipation. Did you know that in ancient Sumaria “Fucking that shit” was an act performed by Shaman for treating severe constipation? If you’d like to talk about this more during your trip to “Kroger Grocery store” pound your face twice on the steering column to activate your $19.99 a month subscription to ChatGPT 5.5 advanced conversation mode!
I don’t want more upselling.
Please.
Why is that? Most car already have voice assistants to help in tasks that would ve distracting for the driver. What’s the difference with chatGPT?
Fuck that shit too.
I don’t want nor need smart features on my car. Keep it dumb or make it open source.
So, they’re fresh off of rolling back their attempt to make everything a touch interface, which everyone hated… and they’re electing to go down yet another poorly-considered human interface rabbit hole?
That’s a bold move, cotton.
I’ll stick with my “stupid” 2003 Jetta 1.8T, thanks.
Man i wish I could’ve kept my 2003 mk4 GTI with a stick but it’s just falling apart. I’ll miss it.
Yeah, it’s a rattly little bastard, but it’s got the 5-speed and I love it to bits lol
Why do we need “enriching conversations” built in a car at all? Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on the road?
VW promises it won’t force you to create a new account or install any apps.
Not yet, anyway.
They saw us get angry at a heating subscription and decided we are tiktok brained idiots who lack the skill to be social with humans and found another potential subscription service justification that causes less anger?
Conversation keeps me alert if I’ve been driving a long time. I don’t know if artificial conversation would be as effective, but at least it’s an option.
I’m sorry Dave. I can’t let you do that
Lock the doors VW, we’re being car jacked.
lol no, I’ve seen you, you’re not jacked at all rofl
Volkswagen, voice command, emergency brake
“As a language model I…”
You WILL have AI in every device you own and you WILL enjoy it
wrong, you won’t own your devices
The AI will be watching you to make sure you’re enjoying it.
Drink your verification can verified by AI.
VW: so we listened to our customers, and we’re announcing we’re transitioning back to physical buttons on the steering wheel
People: yes!
VW: …and integrating chatGPT into our cars!
ffs VW. I hope it’s opt-in at least.
Nah, they’ll just do what every other company does: record everything and send it to their servers. “But we’re only using it to improve our service”-bullshit excuse.
ChatGPT is a cancer.
I think of it more as the inbred child of down syndrome siblings that eats lead paint.
You guys dare to explain why you think of it like that? It’s invaluable tool at work - writes bash one-liners and code that usually works from the first try.
You might know the saying that if your code complies on the first try you did something wrong.
Skynet, eventually.
DotCom bubble 2.0
Who doesn’t want spyware in their car?
I’ve got.some bad news for you…
“You haven’t paid your leasing fee this month, ChatGPT will now start to tell bad dad jokes”
Should we invest the money from R&D so that our cars aren’t just hard plastic shit boxes? No! Give them AI!
Alternatively, we could take money away cars and put it towards public transit infrastructure
