Lucid Air proudly displayed in worst of CES 2025 (Soundhound)

[rfc805]

Surely hope this is not something Lucid is actively pursuing, because it sounds absolutely awful, even ignoring the environmental issues raised.

What a stupid argument. Most DC’s that all these cloud / gen AI systems run in have many forms of green initiatives to conserve and not waste energy etc.

Blaming an AI system for take out containers, give me a break.

 

[rfc805]

I'm not sure I agree with that first part, the gen AI providers I've been involved with are more in the "massive energy pigs because it's a hot race" situation.

Ignoring that, it just very much sounds like something I do not want/need in the car - I definitely don't need Hey Lucid provided me with ads, which sounds like it was the main intent of the entire system.

We clicked on the video and watched it. They got what they were after.. eyeballs on it to sell you ads and generate revenue

Yes, SoundHound and AI are definitely going to be the leading reason our landfills have takeout containers in them.

I do NOT want Soundhound.
Not in my car.
Not in a bar.
Not in a tree.
And definitely not with a fee.

Okay. Then turn off Lucid Assistant.

Yeah! Damn Soundhound and their supposed ads that none of us have ever experienced or have any reason to believe we ever will! Give me back my Amazon Alexa!

Yet I've had Alexa tell me I've got a message waiting and then when I play it I'm told "you're low on washing detergent and softener. Do you want me to order more?" NO!

What a dumb argument, crypto is actually useless and uses 100 times more power, why not go after gas guzzling Trucks/SUV's? I can say this about many things.

Because those weren't on display at CES?
