in Soviet Russia.... Artificial Intelligence is YOU!
Siri is to AI what a phone is to smartphone. Old obsolete and annoyingly cute But … Chatgpt and other AI tools have taken the world by storm with no regulations and understanding of the consequences on our society and how it can really help our lives … Personally I am in favor of a pause like many.
I am not sure that Cook is the man to lead Apple to the next level and if he has a deep understanding of what is happening.

I’m just wondering what AI looks like to you. Is it an advanced spell check to cover for inept typing or education, or is it something that is going to benefit you in terms of health, or something else?
Im also wondering whilst Apple have maybe been slow on improving Siri, have they also being spending more resources on integrating privacy focused health based AI into actually useful products? Or does autocorrect sit higher in your personal hierarchy of AI usefulness? For me, I value health over autocorrect, but maybe I’m in the minority.
Why do people feel like Siri is the only form of AI Apple have?
I think he has a deeper understanding on AI than most, which is why It is so well integrated into our watches and phones. ChatGPT is best left to those who can’t think for themselves. Outsourcing creativity. Now that’s a great idea 🤦🏻♂️
He’s not going to say anything that might tip the public off to what Apple might be doing in this area. I don’t know why people expect anything different.
I am wondering how AI is integrated into our watch and phone ? I am obviously not familiar with. Thanks
Why would Apple want to work with Musk? He’s at the hiring stage in his AI project, if Apple’s starting that basic they can just start a new project. If they’re looking for something already developed they have to look at companies that already have working or close to working models
Cook mentions it in the article. Fall detection in the Watch, Crash detection in the Watch and phone. ECG in the Watch. Fall detection and ECG obviously work incredibly well, saving hundreds, if not thousands of lives, and crash detection works but is a little flaky (too many false positives) given the issues that have arisen through very complicated circumstances and metrics measured. But many lives have still been saved or at least, provided quicker emergency service response.
This.
Current AI is a complete foooooking mess. Their "hallucination problem" is a BIG ISSUE for both Microsoft and Google.
Microsoft has jumped the shark with Bing/AI being shoved it up every possible crevice of their user base. It is almost like watching a school bus full of kids go off a cliff it is so bad and you cant stop it. The Bing/AI button is being shoved into every product they have.
Apple will watch it all play out....and go with what works, but in a more user friendly way.
I can vouch for @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ as a real person, and good friend over years on Macrumors. She is not a GPT in any way or form. She is quite an active apple supporter on the forums I met her first in some of the groups watching their iphones travel their way for opening week each fall Where we all have a good time tracking, speculating and waiting for our new iphones.📱🖥️⌚

We are currently in the Gartner Hype tunnel of anything called "AI".
ChatGPT and Bard are nothing but a complex decision tree applications with access to the worlds data (real or fake). They are Applied AI and not General AI. It has been easily shown that once you break that decision tree you can punk them into saying some crazy horrible things....hence the 5 question limits until they put bigger bumper guards around it. General AI is at least 30 years away...if ever.
It is so easy to poison the data sources they use to control the output. It is a HUGE mistake that use them for anything serious or especially political. The potential for them to be used in bad ways almost outweigh their potential good.
Just like all of those "Smart" speakers of past (Siri, Alexa, Cortona, Hey Google) after the hype this so called AI will pan out and do some good things in very specific ways and lots of bad things...driven by bad people.
Apple is wise to wait for the lives lost and destroyed by this first wave of AI to get in the game.
Already we have seen ChatGPT make up stuff and accuse a real person of doing some horrible stuff.

Bard on 60min, when answering the question about how to control inflation by a CBS reporter, recommend reading 5 books on the subject.....all of them completely fake.

ChatGPT invented a sexual harassment scandal and named a real law prof as the accused
ChatGPT accused a law professor of harassment. But the evidence doesn’t exist.

Currently, AI needs human prompts and human ideas in order to get the ball rolling. ChatGPT has the information and can produce real answers, but it can't think for itself. yesterday for example, it took about 10 tries for it to show the correct syntax to merge an interface in Typescript (this was 4.0 mind you).
If I ask SiRI "Which is the tallest building in the world" in Swedish, I get the answer "Here is what I found on the Internet " and suggestions will be displayed. Google assistant gives me the answer directly. SIRI hasn't been become smarter in the past decade at all. I wasn't using iPhone when Siri got released in my region but thought that it was a revolutionary method. What I could see that Siri got outrun by Alexa and Google within a couple of years.
I don't like to use these assistants because of their limitations. Siri isn't smart enough to understand it's me who is talking to it so that it want me to unlock the phone when I am driving.
I want siri to understand the languages better. As it can handle different languages, it should able to handle 2 or three languages at the same time. I like the idea that if someone calls, it tells me who it is and waiting for my command to accept the call or not. As it is waiting with its ears on, can't it understand if I am talking to someone else or not? If I try to wrap up the conversation, it catches the sound of yes or no and takes or denies the call.
If siri is set in English, if I ask direction to a Swedish town it doesn't understand just like voice assistants in cars. If I add the address manually, voice instructions makes me confused as it tries to read the Swedish names in English.
Chances of everyone using AR goggles is too little but using chatGPT like function in mobile is highly likely. So, shutdown siri, put that money in open AI.

Predicting text like you want, perfectly, uses compute power in the background. The more accurate you want it to be the more CPU it needs to use. There’s a big trade off and this is much harder than it looks on the surface.
You either have a basic algo that sips little power and produces some errors. Or you have a complex algo that consumes a lot more energy and is more accurate but also drains the battery and can introduce keyboard and GUI lags.
Apple hasn’t mismanaged AI efforts. That’s just Wall Street talk because they want companies to use buzzwords and hype and shoehorn premature technologies in their products without putting consumers and users first.
Artists will save humanity from boring middle of the road AI generated content.
Which one is from a company that scrapes the internet, is a dominant search engine and creates invasive user profiles?
These are different things.
It does feel like that sometimes. 🤨So Siri is Apple half-arsing it as if it was just a side project?
And it burned through a dozen GPUs doing that chore. Bruteforce compute is ugly. Using bruteforce to win an arms race is even uglier. There will be many social and environmental costs if companies keep throwing more and more GPUs at this.
Meanwhile the human brain does incredible things with just one watt of energy. If people use it.
windows + gpt, office + gpt, android + bard….those applications are going to blow Apple away and they don’t have plan against it. Apple is like blackberry in the 2000 denying what it’s obvious.
I think ghost urls are due to engineers intentionally redirected internet content to an internal mirror, which has a different DNS server and a set of altered URLs.
As someone else mentioned in another thread, sorry, I don’t remember who, Siri is the face of Apple. It should have been Apple‘s primary responsibility to get that right. As it is, many people do not want chat, GPT-like functionality from Siri, but that does not mean, Apple should have let it languish like they have. Their step forward now would be to hire a lot of people to work on Siri to get it consistently right. Make it the best at what it does do. Siri was behind long before chat GPT came out, and there is no excuse for it.
