I feel like OpenAI is really losing their edge.
Bubble is popping.

I truly believe Claude is not targeting a consumer market.
Try Gemini. Out of the box I preferred ChatGPT, but after I took the time to customize Gemini, it's definitely been better.

They need extra time to add a screen that will show you ads.

it's called minimalism via ai efficiency. aluminum not even necessary. what remains is a changing idea suitable for the discerning Molty.

Look, at least aluminium is useful. I'd buy that, if I had need for it. Probably not at their asking price though. And certainly not if they decided to call it AluminIum.

I’d have to agree. I’ve been using ChatGPT via work through an enterprise license since mid-2024, and while it’s still fairly impressive for most things, I feel like the experience I have with Claude/Gemini on my personal devices has either caught up or surpassed them.

Jony Ive is the Bill Belichick of the tech world. Seemingly the GOAT when at Apple, but ever since he left, it's been nothing of notable subtance.
At this point, when I hear he's involved, I think it's never going to be something that can actually be produced for a mass market.

Claude and Gemini.
OpenAI/ChatGpt will be absorbed into Microsoft at peak AI bubble burst. It will be like Skype the name will live on for a while.
What we do know is that whatever survives after the useful features are removed will be thin and underpowered.
Probably have to balance it on end to wireless charge. You know like standing a quarter on its edge.

Whether this becomes vaporware or not, we'll have to see. But it seems to me that we have to reckon with a post-screen world. It's coming. It will be interesting to see how Apple responds to this. There is a rumour that they are developing some kind of AI pin.

A post-screen world only exists for people who work alone and/or never go out in public.

Another AI phantom product to funnel investors’ money. Shocking!

We kept removing features.
What remained was 12x9 of transparent aluminium.

Will see the light of day, but it will be a tough sell given most people will choose a smartphone and a smartwatch, or just a smartphone. Not to mention if a whistleblower with a conscience can be offed so readily for wishing to reveal your company is built on stolen data, all user personal data is as good as pillaged, tagged, bagged and dissected above and beyond legal checkboxes.
"Google knows you better than you know yourself", they said. Only if you give it all your data.

The real issue, I feel, is that any device that doesn't integrate with your smartphone is dead in the water, and we know that Apple is never going to open itself up to third parties. You either have a device that's stuck trying to replicate every smartphone feature (poorly), or focus on some niche function, while still doing it so poorly that it may as well just be another app on your phone or smartwatch.
This looks like a legal quagmire if it's an AI device trying to have awareness of what's going on in your life.
There are state level laws about secret recordings. Major markets like California and Florida require all parties to consent to a recording. Even in one-party consent states, you have to be a part of the conversation.
If this AI device is recording everything from inside your pocket, wouldn't that be a violation of many current Eavesdropping and Consent laws?
Perhaps Ive’s experience at Apple has convinced him to pull back to see what Apple releases this Spring. If his ego can be held off, he should know the pattern well. Apple enters a product or feature category “late,” and redefines it. Then all the others who were “first” have to scramble to catch up or fail.
In this case, Apple is likely about to burst the AI bubble, making it into a supporting role background feature enhancement, not a product. Apple’s product line will do more and do it more intuitively, with Apple Intelligence behind the enhancements, but there won’t be an AI product, and AI won’t be oversold as a borderline sentient chatbot that will be your clingy new psychopathic friend.
The closest thing to an Apple AI product will be a new Home Hub that will bring enhanced Siri functionality to existing home networked devices including HomePods and Apple TVs, but we are already hearing that Siri is not about to become your new weird friend.
This will put OpenAI and all the others on the back foot, because consumers will quickly realize they don’t need or want an AI device. They just want the ecosystem of existing devices to serve them better and more intuitively.
Then all the AI-first companies will be left scrambling to figure out what it is they’re going to sell when the bubble is burst and consumers lose interest in “getting an AI,” whatever that is.

“Hey screenless thing sitting next to my phone and MacBook, spew some BS at me from a ten year old Reddit post then tell me what a great request this was, will ya?”
Definitely Gemini. Granted, I’m using free versions, so perhaps there’s a difference with paid model.
