    AI on phones peaked with MS Contana on W10 mobile circa 2014. “Remind me to jack off when I’m home”. And it fucking did what i wanted. I didn’t even have to say words, i could type it into a text box… it also worked offline.

      Seriously missed an opportunity to being that back as their agent.

      Legitimately though, Cortana was pretty great. There was a feature to help plan commutes (before I went more or less full remote), all it really did was watch traffic and adjust a suggest time to depart but it was pretty nice.

      Say it every time someone mentions WP7/8/10, those lumia devices were fantastic and I totally miss mine, the 1020 had a fantastic camera on it, especially for the early 2010s

      Bad news for people who use google: they’ve removed the same feature, so their assistant is more useless than Cortana a decade ago (only a mild exaggeration)

      [Insert “joke” pretending to be Cortana or another “assistant,” but I’m actually a human and I’m going to remind the user to do the “weird” action he requestedv which is apparently completely ok to post, but I’ll get my comment removed and threatened to be banned here]

        it’s really weird that this turned into a tantrum where you tried to report other users for their jokes???

          The fuck? How are you so completely oblivious to the joke in my comment?

          It’s almost like you failed to read the comment I replied to and/or failed to comprehend its meaning towards the original post.

          Maybe out of context, my comment was “weird,” but with context, it’s just a joke that went so far over your head that I’m surprised you even have the brain power to type a reply.

        Comment removed for being weird (derogatory). I refrained just barely from hitting the “ban from community” button on the slim chance it was a badly misfired joke from a person who can otherwise behave themself, but I won’t object if any other mod goes ahead with the banhammer.

          Did none of y’all read the comment we’re all replying to?

          Like, did you just completely miss the joke? It went so far over your head that I’m not sure you even understand what the definition of a joke is.

          Yes, out of context, my comment did sound “weird,” but if you stopped to read the comment I’m replying to and could comprehend its meaning towards the original post, then maybe you could see the joke and kinda see where I was going with it.

          I guess people like you are why this instance is called “awful systems.”

          I was vacillating on reply harshness, but “hey tell me when you’re home” … some people just need to get better with informed consent.

          (agree that this probably wasn’t banworthy (yet), but close)

            it was some shitty follow-up to your joke so unfunny it made your post less funny just by being under it. pull this thread from mastodon and chances are you’ll see it if you really want to

            anyway if you want a laugh, they threw a tantrum and reported your post because we deleted theirs:

            their joke was in that exact tone too because they’re a comedy black hole
