"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Bingo

In a study conducted by Axios

Unpublished leading with the same mutually non exclusive question, no methodology, and no published stats.

Bravo for bringing this full circle exactly back to where I stated it would lead us. I honestly couldn't have done it better. But you really played your part. You went and googled what you wanted to find and linked a secondary source without reading a damn thing or caring what you linked to. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ bravo.

So what do people actually like about trucks? According to Edwards, the answer is counterintuitive. Truck drivers use their trucks very much like other car owners: for commuting to and from work, presumably alone.

Alexander Edwards president of automotive research and consulting firm Strategic Vision, which conducts an in-depth, annual, 250,000-person, psychographic new vehicle owners’ survey. β€œ

The study itself is sadly proprietary but it is in line with what you can see all around you on your commute and in your works parking lot. Commuters commuting in their truck.

Naw, I can look out my window and seeing trucks well used all day. Thank you again for proving my point so well. Accidentally linking back to the report I initially bitched at then hand waving it away with personal stories is πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ˜š

Do you have any contrary evidence that is non proprietary all I could find were proprietary reports and reporting on them that agreed with me. On the other side of the coin is you yelling angrily which is... not an argument

LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, IT'S OBVIOUS!
