I guess I’m the only that thinks this direction could mean the end of Apple as we know it within a couple of years.
I don’t think people realize the absolute inevitability that within a couple of years the better phone will be the one with the better capable AI.
A good AI vs an “average” AI is an exponential difference, it would be like choosing the black and white phone vs the one with the color screen.
For AI to work really well you need data, and Apple to me appears as it’s lagging a lot on the matter. It’s astounding how impossibly stupid my Siri assistant is vs ANY of the free versions of AI.
If Apple really is this behind in AI…I mean, there’s virtually nothing else that will meaningfully differentiate products.
This is coming from someone that would prefer to still pay for iPhone / iOS rather than having android for free.
