AI is awesome...

[Farmer Fran]

Straight from AI

"The 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible offers a powerful, open-top driving experience with a 5.0L V8 engine, 400 horsepower, and a range of features, including heated and cooled seats, a convertible top that can be operated from a distance, and available 19-inch Shadow Silver-painted aluminum wheels."

"Performance: 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque."

"Convertible Top: Can be operated from a distance with the push of a button on the key fob."

Sigh...

AI is better than awesome! It’s truly the once in a lifetime technological evolution.
I have been trying to get friends and family to understand how big of a deal all this is and how they need to begin adapting.

it’s sad, most (actually all of them don’t realize yet) and I get it you can’t force people… but they’re all being left behind in real time
Conversation has become exhausting… they’ll talk about something that has happened weeks ago… they don’t have capacity for constant instantaneous information.

AI is bigger than the internet, air flight, space travel, …. It’s everything that has ever happened or will ever happen unfolding all at once… Sam Altman just wrote a piece “the gentle singularity”

I just feel so bad for everyone else being left behind.
Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by some marketing brochure nuance discrepancies…. It’s so much more than that.

AI spits out constant crap.

Now I WISH we could put up and down the convertible top with the key fob! That would be so cool. I love the roll down window feature using the fob but the convertible top would be even better.

Camaro has top down with fob but not up.

It's only as good as the information you give it. Most AI car information is pulled from internet forums, and we all know how reliable that is.

Pros and Cons
Pros:

• Modern tech with a fighter-jet-inspired digital cockpit
• Convertible design offers open-air exhilaration
• Improved handling over previous generations
• Last V8-powered pony car with rivals like Camaro and Challenger discontinued

Cons:

• Interior materials don’t fully match the premium price
• Convertible top operation is less seamless (manual unlock, slow deployment)
• Rear seats are cramped, limiting practicality
• Fuel economy is poor, especially in city driving
• Base price can climb significantly with options

Driving Experience
The 2024 Mustang GT Premium Convertible delivers a quintessential pony car experience with a modern twist. The 5.0L V8 provides robust acceleration and a burly exhaust note, especially with the active exhaust, making every drive feel like an event. The manual transmission adds engagement, though the shifter isn’t as precise as some rivals. Handling is sharp for a grand tourer, with the GT Performance Package and MagneRide enhancing cornering precision, though the rear can feel lively over bumps. The convertible top amplifies the sensory experience, letting drivers enjoy the V8’s growl and open-air freedom, though it sacrifices some structural rigidity compared to the coupe.
Market Position
With the Chevrolet Camaro discontinued and the Dodge Challenger moving to non-V8 powertrains, the Mustang GT is the last V8-powered domestic pony car, making it a unique offering for enthusiasts. It competes with sports cars like the Toyota Supra or BMW Z4, but its V8 and American muscle heritage set it apart, appealing to those seeking a blend of nostalgia and performance.
Availability
Production of the 2024 Mustang GT Premium Convertible ended in April 2024, but inventory may still be available at dealers like Classic Ford Mentor or Tamiami Ford. For the latest models, the 2025 Mustang GT Premium Convertible offers similar features with minor updates, like the 60th Anniversary Package (limited to 1,965 units).
Conclusion
The 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible is a thrilling blend of classic Mustang DNA and modern performance, offering a powerful V8, advanced tech, and the joy of open-top driving. While it has some drawbacks, like interior material quality and a less user-friendly convertible top, its performance, style, and heritage make it a standout for enthusiasts. For detailed pricing or to locate one, visit Ford.com or contact a local dealer.

A.I. makes it so you can't believe anything all media say. Greatest tool for propaganda. It has already been shown that A.I. can produce misleading information depending on who and how it is programed. We should all be cautious.

I have a feeling this is about to go off the rails. Sorry.

I just thought it was "funny" how wrong it was on a simple subject

 

[BoostRabbitGT]

When AI can make a nice looking Mustang with a naturally aspirated [hybrid?] V8 that gets 60mpg city/highway and can be bought as a fastback, hardtop/convertible, or sedan/sportback, please get back to me.

But computers are only able to do what they are told:

but yes interestingly enough even though the machine provides information the user still needs to be smarter than the machine in order to verify it hasn’t entered into the endless loop.

 

[Joe_Stang]

AI has its place but for now its ruined a lot of the world. Nobody wants to think anymore, they would rather just ask AI to do it for them (chat gtp) and a lot of tech companies are replacing humans with AI. I know its the inevitable future though and im not convinced thats a good thing.
