Just remap it, a mouse can't run any current ai model and why would you let a mouse connect to the internet?
why would you let a mouse connect to the internet?
Because of bazinga
Oh wow a dedicated button that opens up the Google homepage but it enthusiastically lies to you.
Ah yes mouse with extra button, really revolutionary stuff
It's literally just a short-cut to a madlibs generator. Ffs.
TempleOS was ahead of its time, at least there you could communicate with god and not reading garbage in garbage out text.
the tech industry is so desperate to have a new Thing
Does it actually work?
...not the AI button of course, what I mean is are there really people out there who bought this mouse who wouldn't have if it didn't include the dedicated "AI button"?
Et tu, Logitech? 😭
Would rather have a dedicated burger button 
Phones did this with a dedicated facebook button right before the went all touchscreen and you had apps. I assume we're going to start seeing touch screen mice soon.
Like what does it even do?
What possible function could it perform that would justify its inclusion?
Probably the same thing as the internet explorer button on your keyboard (if you have one, ymmv): literally nothing until you rebind it.
It's a shortcut to a program to help you craft "prompts". Like that's it, that's all it does. "AI" such a scam.
The title of this post will be used against you as evidence in court when you are on trial for hate speech toward Siri for saying “fuck you you stupid robot I’m just laying on my side, not trying to get reddit answers but worse”
"Hey Siri, Kill yourself."
NOBODY WANTS THIS
i fucking swear the only people pushing this shit I've noticed are NVDA holders trying to pump their stock further or people in the "industry"
There’s no returning from this lol
People are just too far gone and brainwashed by all existing capitalist structures. I’ve never seen a brazen marketing attempt fool the masses like this. Incredible to see in a way
See, this is why 
did what he did. Big tech is playing the role of the tsars, I’m sure there were was a plurality of Russian proles who just went along with everything that was happening without a second thought
There's been made mouses with buttons dedicated to twitter and linkedin and the like before, it's nothing new
Is it selling? I saw an article mocking it months ago.
AI yay yay
Dr. Chandra, will I dream?
Wait a few months to a year and this shit will fizzle out. No need to get upset over it.
