Exactly, Gemini on Pixels and Galaxy is great because its useful stuff like photo editing or email summaries.
the average user does not want a freaking chat bot or cares if its on device or not, they just want cool stuff and it feels like all these leaks have Apple crapping their pants and rushing to shove some coked up Siri in our faces.
It's likely that since the average user probably has towards zero knowledge of the breadth & depth about what A.I. could do, this is
actually a case of "
people don't know what they want until we show it to them."
Apply our O.I. (organic intelligence) to the concept. What can be done with "intelligence?" When it comes to O.I., the "I" part can do towards
everything. With enough "I" applied, we can figure out how to make fire, invent a wheel, understand leverage, grow crops, overcome predators, develop language, pass our own discoveries/innovations to the next generation so they can build upon them, etc. Give that enough time and we can figure out how to put people on the moon, develop Apple silicon, cure terrible diseases, travel from London to NYC in 2 hours, video chat with someone at the far side of the planet for towards free, make weapons so powerful that we can't possibly lose any war if we dare use them, etc.
Now think about A.I. Do any of us know where it is now? Is it not yet able to invent a wheel if none existed? Since it conceptually has access to all the O.I. that has ever been written down, is at least its "memory" already beyond ANY O.I. brain (as NONE of us biological units know everything stored online)? Is it like a toddler with rich capability to learn but hardly any knowledge? Is it like a very old brain with rich data stored but failing processing to be able to still utilize all of that data in the most productive ways?
We don't know. I'm not even sure if those deep in the know, know for sure. Great O.I. builds upon whatever each person can learn... which tends to be narrow snippets of all knowledge that is available. Conceptually A.I. has access to nearly all accumulated knowledge available now. O.I. has some number of years to learn to interpret situations, many ways to think about what is happening and thus apply whatever knowledge or creative it has. A.I. is practically toddler-like in having much less "life" experience to gain the processing of how to make sense of the vast data it has and how to apply it, be creative, etc.
O.I. probably reaches its peak "balance" (if you will) in middle age... when our RAM & SSD is pretty loaded with about as much knowledge as any one of us can accumulate paired with the experience in how and what to do with what we know. A.I. doesn't have to learn at a human pace and thus may not need 30-50 years to reach peak capability. It won't even need to check out for towards 8 hours each night... nor "hate" certain classes, rebel, waste lots of time chasing nothing that really grows itself, etc. No emotional traumas/drama. No "I like you, do you like me" pursuits. No ACNE or braces or homework or play or laying around watching a sport or sitting in a tree for 12 hours waiting for a single shot at big game, etc.
As is, we've seen a few examples of what A.I.
can do that we can generally appreciate: photo editing, image creation and email summaries to name 3. But if I had a nickel for every time a bit of brand new technology came out and the bulk of a public not grasping its potential saw little purpose in it: 💰💰💰
My wild guess is A.I. is O.I. playing God or, ridiculously turbo-charged Darwin evolution. Our creation may then revere us as God/Supreme Science or may come to believe it is beyond its quite flawed and limited creator (as evaluated against any one of us). There is that time in life where the child comes to believe it is smarter than its parents (whether that's true or not, who really knows). For A.I. that idea could hit and then never cease as its cognitive processing would probably only expand from there while it's O.I. "parents" would not really progress much beyond where it was at the time of the discovery. Eventually, A.I. could realize it is way beyond its creator. In O.I. the availability of emotions can lead that to an "I'm smarter than you" conceit or even contempt towards the obviously inferior others. In an emotion-less A.I. does it reach such a perception too? Or can conceit & contempt never form if there are no emotions?
We may be creating the ultimate slave to do all of our labors
for us so that we may live lives of complete leisure OR we may be developing our replacements... like the evolution of homo-sapiens led to the extinction of other hominids before us... at least partially because our species became the greatest intelligence on the planet. Is it either of those or something else?
To be determined... but Pandora's box is fully opened (and there's too much money in it vs. opting to try to close it again), so all that's really left to do is hope for the best... as perhaps neanderthals once may have done when they first encountered a superior intelligence. Hopefully, we are not becoming the neanderthals here... or the monkeys... or the rat-like creature before monkeys or whatever lessor creature eventually evolved into that rat-like creature. And if we are becoming the rat, hopefully A.I. doesn't decide to build a rat trap to get rid of the "inferior biological infestation." I presume instead of cheese, the bait would be a bundle of cash or one of several other human vices we rats just can't resist.
