Damn I thought it was going to be at least useful like a text prompt.
"Search all these files dumped and find me the ones from my old pc, move them all to the same location on the biggest spare partition that isn't the os one, and then organize them into folders by general idea without breaking up the coherency of the directories. And do it without losing the existing modified or created dates. Retain the original organization in an xml doc that you can read, just in case I don't like the organization and want to try again."
Or
"Install all libre stuff and all of the most useful windows tools. Delete, disable, tear out, and block all telemetry from this Windows installation. There must be privacy and zero enshittification on this computer. Go through, file by file, including all hidden and file systems and services, reading through each and every binary, and decompile, rip out any spyware or telemetry, and recompile. You have a week and this system will be disconnected from the internet entirely for the duration. Go."
This is the type of ai that would actually be useful to me. Imagine the power of being able to fully delegate lower level tasks like this.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
For the sake of argument, how do you expect something like that to be made for a dollar?
In China, and poorly? I dunno. You've never seen Robocop?
I haven't seen Robocop yet... I need to. Saw some clips last night. Looks like fun.
It's great. Don't bother with the sequels, though.
But I enjoy terrible sequels...
In all seriousness, half the reason I want to watch Robocop is because of the "futuristic" Ford Taurus. I had a 1992 Taurus (second gen) for a couple years and simultaneously loved and hated that car.
