See Apple Intelligence in Action

I haven't wanted to use Siri enough to bother trying. I haven't wanted to use Siri since it was introduced and we were all asking it funny questions to try to get funny answers.

Also 100 agree with this. Siri is not activated on any of my Apple devices (several Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads etc)

The thing is though, they were kinda right. Reliance on technology HAS eroded skills, but it's a pattern that been happening since the Industrial Revolution. Skills, and the valuing of them isn't consistent over time..

I wouldn't necessarily say they were "right." While computers may have eroded some skills, they more importantly transformed and created new, more advanced skills, increased efficiency, etc.

Is there anybody out there who is completely disinterest in anything relates to AI?

Just cannot seem to get my head around why? its seems great on the surface, but to me its adding layers of complexity to things that are pretty simple to achieve with your own intelligence.

It makes a smart phone actually SMART. The iPhone is currently not a smart device in regards to its brain power.

 

[GrayFlannel]

Correct. Apple uses LLM to complete most of the tasks shown in the video.

So typing 8 AM alarm to launch an alarm requires LLM AI?
Asking Siri the temperature followed by the humidity requires LLM AI?
Asking Siri to set a timer and change the time during the same request requires LLM AI?

Color me skeptical

Why do I need to join a waitlist while this guy doesn't... C'mon now.

 

[GrayFlannel]

Normally, if I am writing an email of importance, I will write it, run it through AI, and say something like, “Make this more professional” or “Make this more friendly,” etc.

Here are four emails I sent today.

1. Nope
2. See attachment.
3. Send an invite pls.
4. His father raised an imbecile.

 

[binaryfuneral]

Whole lot of old luddites in here that need to just emplace AI so they can get back to yelling at neighborhood kids to keep off their lawn and turn down their music.

 

[scorpio vega]

Must have me mistaken. I adore AVP, just not enough to spend $3.5K on one.

I can never keep up with what apple does that has y’all up in arms lol. My apologies ☺️

I have a strong dislike of LLMs, but I've realised that they're the next step in the IT hype cycle, and once the bubble has burst, they'll be with us permanently as a set of tools with specific uses. As such I need to start learning about them so I won't be caught out when I'm required to use them, or teach children about safety around them. It's not enough to be a luddite, and issue a blanket ban on tech, like some of my family have.

Some of the tools in Apple Intelligence look like they might be useful. I might actually use Siri when I can type to it, and not feel like a goober, talking to my phone, and better proofreading tools will come in handy from time to time.

It goes back much further than the Industrial Revolution. In the first century AD Druids would not allow an alphabet be created for their language. In their view being able to read things in books would destroy their civilization. They should continue training their minds to remember what they needed to know.

I’ll provide you with an example. I input messy data from a branch manager’s email into ChatGPT, instructing it to sanitize and format the data in a manner that I can utilize. In a matter of seconds, ChatGPT successfully performs these tasks. It would have taken me significantly longer to accomplish these tasks manually.

Say it takes me about 5 minutes to manually clean up that data. If I have 10 branch manager emails, that’s already almost an hour spent. AI can automate this process, allowing me to allocate that 50 minutes to more productive tasks.

More importantly, can it find bridges and bicycles for me?

Proving I'm a human is a real pain, and it would be nice to have an AI assistant to take care of that.

 

[Bungaree.Chubbins]

100% agree, this is what it comes down to. I have this fear that tech goes too far and I go full Gen X “I only own a printer”. I have made peace with tech and the tracking, and control what I can, but AI is something I’m utterly not interested in in the least. It creeps me out to be honest. I can also just never upgrade my phone and leave the settings app with the notification bubble indefinitely

Hah! I have that same fear sometimes too!
I've become accustomed to the LLM creepiness, but I'm still willing to complain loudly, and often, about the negative implications of these widespread plagiarism engines. Apple seems to be doing better in this regard, but I'm paying attention.
My iPhone 14 is going strong, and barring accident, I don't expect to need to upgrade until the iPhone 19 or something, so I'll not have to worry, as I won't have access to the new features. I'll have to get used to them on my laptop though.

I wouldn't necessarily say they were "right." While computers may have eroded some skills, they more importantly transformed and created new, more advanced skills, increased efficiency, etc.

Fair enough. It didn't completely begin with the Industrial Revolution, but it was certainly accelerated hard!
Every major technology increase has done those things, but usually at the considerable expense of a noticeably large segment of the workforce who suddenly find themselves without a livelihood. Hopefully they lived in countries with good safety nets so their families didn't go hungry or homeless while they tried to adapt! If AI is as good as the fanboys think, and the Three Letter Suites hope, then it's time for another wave of that.

And now we know almost nothing about them because they were too afraid to write things down!

Good video. Cannot wait to try Apple Intelligence later this year!

I feel the same. I never used so far any kind of digital assistant and I don't think AI will make me change my stance.

 

[Frantisekj]

Correct. Apple uses LLM to complete most of the tasks shown in the video.

Is is valid for tap bottom to type to Siri as well or it is available to all phones? Can anyone try?

 

[Boeingfan]

Good video. Concise and informative.

 

[dugbug]

Until it hallucinates and just confidently lies to you, when it doesn't work or can't figure out what to do with some of the information. Because of this, I can't imagine it saving that much time if you have to go in and double check if its actually giving you correct info.

We are talking a one line email summary for a feature that is just now in beta. before we jump to skynet lets just give it a shot.

I like that apple int. are small targeted features throughout the system (like math notes) and not some generic chatbot friend.

 

[TheVowelO]

"Siri has a new design with a glow around the edges of the display when active..."
That's the dealbreaker for me.

I Kinda like it.

 

[TheVowelO]

It's beta and a developing feature. Give it a few years to mature. AI will make life easier and also make us dumber.

Bingo.

People have said the same thing about every new tech that has come out.

Imagine if they found out about all the math one can do in Excel?

 

[ctklein]

The new siri voice on my carplay really threw me off. Still not sure how i feel about it. It sounds more "natural" but idk

Michael Crichton prophesied the Internet would be the enemy of progress and result in social stagnation.
