The World Health Organization is wading into the world of AI to provide basic health information through a human-like avatar. But while the bot responds sympathetically to users’ facial expressions, it doesn’t always know what it’s talking about.
It’s really annoying because SEARCH IS REALLY GOOD ALREADY and “AI searching” is adding a bad, buggy frontend over either the already good search or a worse version of search (vector DB searches).
ah but see, if you move these here goalposts of quality, suddenly there’s a whole lot more “room for improvement” and thus a longer commercial horizon! and best of all is it doesn’t even reuse the same old stuff - innovation! out with the old! yay to crushing tech debt!
saw (via toots) that fb also updated their messenger, by replacing the previously-normally-used-by-normal-people search bar with some ai searchprompt garbage too
