No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I want a personal assistant that actually works. Like Siri or Alexa, but it can actually do secretarial tasks.

“Find and schedule a roofing company to come fix the roof”

“See if you can get me dinner reservations for a nice Italian restaurant tomorrow night at 630”

“Write an email to bob apologizing for running over his dog”

“Find an image on the internet of a person being mauled by a bear, edit the picture so that it’s James being mauled, and send picture to him”

“Find a new show for me to watch and torrent the first episode, re-dub it in Japanese with Spanish subtitles”

I'd be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.

That's already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you'd have less control by giving the AI a single instruction

No I want it to run locally

So... Judging from your requests I'm going to guess you are part of the Italian Maffia working abroad.

And Silexa will even automatically send notes to the SPCA, police, and your ISP!

Here's a photo of what's left in the fridge. Order my groceries online for the week and email the proposed recipes.

I need to get a present for X, please order it.

I think part of the problem, is those offering AI currently, have an ulterior motive. For instance, personal assistants like Google. They made it worse as there was less chances to advertise. Alexa can buy stuff, but only on Amazon. I want an assistant that is loyal to me, not to the company providing it. If I order groceries, I want it to check pricing and buy the best value with most convenient drop off. It's getting infuriating that you have to go through 20 steps for many services before you find out the final price and timing.
