People don't need better AI. People are made to think they need better AI. Other than that yea
I’m not going back to typing my grocery list manually. So I’m fucked in that part of my life.
Edit: thank you to everybody suggesting privacy preserving methods of grocery list maintenance. I’ve already considered them.
I use „tasks“ for that. When i prepare to go grocery shopping I go to my fridge, open the completed „shopping“ tasks list and uncomplete what is empty. I then complete them again in the mall. Of course the list is hosted on my server.
You can also have a barcode scanner to automate the „done“ action. You could also put in a timer to automatically make things undone if they need regular buying.
In any case, using ai voice recognition for this is a massive waste of computing power for things that can be done by simple if else statements. Of course it is also a massive privacy invasion if you use big tech stuff for it.
Fuck. That's genious. I type it new every time. I'll test it, thx!
Thanks. :) good luck!
A man of culture I see.
Selfhosted task list. There is where we stand united my friend.
Glad to hear it! :) have a good one!
so voice typing, huh? not really sure it matters at this point. I use an open source keyboard, but my inputs go right into the OS of the worlds largest spy organization.
on the other hand... this is a great opportunity to hone your handwriting and memory skills.
I mean you could also write your grocery list per hand.
You could just write it down like some ancient wizard. Maybe even on a scroll of some sort.
Get mental help I guess. It may help
It seems a very valid reason to give up your privacy.
You don't write your grocery list on a bit of paper stuck to the fridge...? I thought that was downright universal
I wonder if having your own self hosted local llm would be better then?
