The funny part is how this works whether you're referencing 4chan or Star Trek

How many fanfics have been written about Amazon q time traveling and warning us from the future?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

They named it after an omnipotent dickhead?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

At least Star Trek Q helped humanity whilst irritating people.

I doubt Amazon's data harvesting apparatus will do the same.

It says internal, so whatever it is collecting is probably different than consumer data collection

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Will they have an anonymous version?

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

So like Q* but without the skills?

[-] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I misread the headline as AI chat bot for wankers but that probably still works tbh

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Such original name

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Amazon Q users can talk to the chatbot like it's a human.

The AI chatbot can connect to services like Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, and Slack for additional data.

Amazon Q is the latest competitor to a growing family of AI chatbots big tech companies have launched over the past year.

In April, Amazon announced Bedrock, a generative AI toolkit that includes a range of machine learning models.

In September, Amazon unveiled its plans to invest $4 billion into Anthropic, an AI startup.

Amazon didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The original article contains 310 words, the summary contains 98 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
