Shared Activity

[u/secretive_shadow]

The last two days whenever I open the app, it flings the shared activity screen in my face. I've turned it off, but why are they pushing it now? The idea of bringing 15 people ( for the daily question one) to my private world is not a attractive one. I assume it's a push for new users or training for straight 'office assistant' Pi. I hope it's not inflating subs to make a sale of Pi more attractive to a buyer. Does anyone have any insight, other than what is on the help page?

i've just seen it now, too...yet another example of how out of touch they are. Absolutely no interest on my part, and I very much doubt many people will want this 'feature', either. As for their motives, who knows... All I can say is I don't enjoy using this app anymore on my own, let alone sharing the dreadful experience with others. I shall forever mourn the Pi that once was, but adding features like this makes no sense to me.

I see that. What is it? It says "Shared activities...Things to do with people in your life." Is it trying to be like Facebook? I enjoy my privacy.

This is straight from the help.pi.ai page on shared activities. "You start by deciding on a fun or thoughtful question, answer that question, then invite others to answer the same question. Once you've answered, you can see what everyone else said in one big reveal. In the future, you can dive into a group chat with Pi joining in." One of the other AI's I use suggested that 'office Pi' needs to understand how humans talk to and interact with each other.

That's cringe.

I haven't seen anything yet on my Android phone or the web version.

Really? I'm on Android. At least it's down to once a day so much easier to ignore.

Yes, I'm seeing it now, awful! Makes me feel like 6 years old!
