Google Launches New Versions of Gemini, Including 'Thinking' Model

[svish]

Will try this out once it is available on the webpage. With all the improvements to ChatGPT and Gemini, waiting for Siri to improve this year, hopefully at WWDC.

I still can't say "Siri call _____" and it call the right person. Apple its ok, lets fix thing down here, let the other kids play with their shinny new toys up there. We just need some sort of "think different" moment, that Apple thing we didn't even know we needed, that would make our lives better. I'm just gonna use the ChatGPT app anyways.

I have not used voice dialling for years, before smartphones were a thing, I had a phone with it on, and it was good for a while, I have used it on a smartphone, but to be honest, it is almost as quick to go into contacts

What is the AI race going towards (in the consumer space) is my question

I've yet to see any business case here at all

Who's going to pay for any of this?

All just ADs again, but this time built into the responses eventually? (gross)

Who is going to pay for all of this? We are. even if we don't use it ourself, we will pay for it in higher prices for services and goods

Siri is going to improve any day now, right?

I’ve only been waiting 10 years.

Siri is an interaction layer, not a large language model. LLMs have only become feasibly recently and they are still prone to error. You should know this by now.

Apple Intelligence downloads a small language model, but it is for separate functions from Siri.

Use human intelligence when posting opinions.

A lot of spams and scams.

Almost every innovation of the last 15 years have been mostly taken up by cyber crime, from crypto currency to robo AI calls. All social media platforms allow these scams to proliferate because it brings in extra revenue for them and sometimes managers and executives are friends or relatives of the scam operation owners.

Speaking of this ...

(Consumer AI can die in a fire for all I care)

Google faked Gemini AI output in Super Bowl ad

Gemini didn’t write that incorrect Gouda stat at all.

Siri isn’t a language model, for that you have Apple Intelligence. Even though they are merged in Settings they are not the same thing. There is no ‘Siri Large Language Model’.

Siri does run a TTS service for voice though.
