Ah, Apple two years behind in AI, but don’t worry, they’ll just slap it into the “ecosystem” and call it revolutionary. At this point, it’s like showing up to a Tesla race on a bicycle and bragging about the basket.
Apple's stupidity when it comes to Siri and the whole AI thing, as compared to Google, reminds me of Steve Ballmer laughing at Apple's iPhone. Oops.
I'm only asking for very basic legal advice and more so to confirm what I believe is right and then I'm unsure I ask it for their source which it then provides which is impressive.Do you trust it for accurate legal advice? I agree it is a good replacement for google searches, but some things I am not sure I would trust it with.
It is unfortunate that Apple spent so much time and money on automated EV cars.
It is quite literally being used right now to automate functions across business, and ultimately people out of work, but it’ll increase profits and share values and that’s all that matters for the 1%. It has some uses yes. But on the whole that’s where it’s growth is right now.Other than generating fake homework papers, what can AI do?
Apple is attempting to do too much, too quickly. iOS is plagued with numerous UI bugs and quirks, particularly in the Lock Screen, Control Center, and widgets. Yet, instead of addressing these issues, they’re jumping into the race for LLMs, even though they’re trailing behind competitors. For years, Apple products were known for being somewhat basic but reliable. Now, they seem to be both flawed and unstable.
I upgrade every year. I don't care if it's just battery improvements and new camera hardware.I upgrade every year because I can afford to upgrade every year, however marginal the tech is.
Or with a growth mindsetIt is quite literally being used right now to automate functions across business, and ultimately people out of work, but it’ll increase profits and share values and that’s all that matters for the 1%. It has some uses yes. But on the whole that’s where it’s growth is right now.
You are right! > 10 yrs spent in meaningless features (know the mother airplane landing time, american sports results ...) and, after all these years, is still impossible for Siri to find a song when set in a language different than US English, even if you listened to it 1000 times! I consider Apple developers and managers as people that confuse the word "World" with "Apple Campus and surroundings".Siri has barely changed since it was introduced in 2011. Yes. 2011.
This is spot on. AI is an insane threat to google because AI search is much better than google now. When you just the answer to something random AI beats google and that is a huge problem for google because that their major business model and profits. Apple is less threatened because of their product structure.Google completely abandoned their work on AI. ChatGPT came along and Google went into red alert mode, quickly creating Bard and calling their old founders back to HQ to find an answer as Google as a whole is threatened by AI - it can search better than Google search in this horrible landscape of algorithm trickery.
Bard moved to Gemini, and I still wouldn't use that over ChatGPT.
Apple's limitations with Siri were related to privacy and security, it's nothing like what you're describing here.
Generate fake images of people with extra fingersOther then generating fake homework papers, what can AI do?
First of all, the pictures taken with Samsung flagships are not fake.Most AI even on other devices is just marketing spin currently.
I haven't seen anything wonderful produced and shared with me from any Android users.
Well apaprt from the AI faked Samsung "moon shots"...
So saying Apple is two years behind isnt really saying much is it?
Looking forward to a better Siri experience soon. It needs it.
But on device handling could be a point of difference for security and speed.
True. It could be 3-4 employees that have formulated this opinion.They're not talking about Siri at all, they're referring to Apple's deployment of LLM as a whole. Also, we're putting a lot of weight into "some at Apple".
I agree that it may be time for TC to look at retiring. In the past (cough cough, previous leadership), Apple always appeared to be behind the curve as they would have very little in a particular product space and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they release a product that is light years ahead of what anyone else is doing and it changes the landscape. Now, they release half-baked products or announce features/products that take a long time to mature or even get shelved before they ever see the light of day.The whole world knows this.
Apple got caught in a panic when ChatGPT emerged out of nowhere, they probably knew rivals Samsung and Google were working on AI but I can guarantee Apple brushed it off until they were caught by the ChatGPT earthquake.
To be fair, it wasn't an expected earthquake, as evidenced by the sharp share price rises of AI-linked tech companies not long after.
But nevertheless it was an earthquake and Apple had done nothing, I repeat nothing, to reinforce the foundations, aka invest in AI. This is even more outrageous when you factor in how long they've had Siri baked into their products (Samsung killed off Bixby, etc). Siri has barely changed since it was introduced in 2011. Yes. 2011.
Now they are playing a desperate catch up and rushing something, anything, out without little care or thought. It is wholly embarrassing to release a suite of products with a cornerstone product Apple 'Intelligence' that isn't even available. Embarrassing.
Tim Cook has overstayed his welcome and needs to move on, time is proving a lot of (not all, but a lot of) his judgement calls have been wrong.
Well next year will be very interesting. Some really cool things are already in the oven.Everyone on Macrumors assuming AI is going to sell phones or sway Apple users to use Android.
