inThat google AI demo with the leather jacket was a total mess and nobody's talking about the real problem
Read an article about this in Wired that put it pretty well - they called it "safety theater" where companies look like they're fixing problems but just make things worse. The issue is these filters treat every request like it's coming from someone trying to break the rules, not a regular user asking a normal question. Remember when YouTube started banning comments about "hurtful speech" and ended up blocking tons of harmless videos? Same kind of thing happening here. Did the demo actually show the filter blocking something about leather jackets specifically?

inTIL a 20 year tech changed how I think about oil filters
That "by feel" stuff works until it doesn't. Every time. Same reason I stopped guessing on tire pressure and started checking with a gauge. The coffee can full of ruined plugs tells you everything. Dave knew what's up.

inI spent 6 months trying to make a chatbot sound 'perfect' before a user comment in Austin made me see I was wrong.
Huh, I've always figured if you're gonna have a machine tell you where to go, it oughta sound like one. @lily97, your old GPS at least had some personality going for it. Those overly polished voices make me feel like I'm being sold something on hold.
