Just like every other AI application they’ve come up with for end users, I cannot fathom how the AI aspect would be preferable to purpose-made code that does one thing without having to “think” about it.
How does the introduction of an “agent” who “might make mistakes” improve my user experience with… Literally anything?
“Hey, Jippity. Send a message to Chris”
Thinking: The user wants me to call Kris. But I don’t see anyone named Kris in the contacts. Maybe the contacts are corrupted. I should try to fix it.
Wait, it would be easier to recreate the contacts. So I’ll just delete all of them and let the user know.
Command: rm -rf ~/.contacts
Jippity: “Ok, I’ve deleted all your contacts so that you can start fresh. Go ahead and enter the number for Kris!”
Pass
Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?
that’s gonna be a very very expensive phone
Who doesn’t like their phone charging them by the word?
Good. Waste that money.
Its interesting that AI is so “mainstream” even though practically no-one wants it.
It’s bad all-around at the moment. Simply not ready for use. People see and recognize that. Yet still… It’s pushed into us. Why?
But it’s going to be amazing! Incredible capabilities are just 6-12 months away!
Why all these products and implementations and spending can’t wait for those capabilities to be real is beyond me.
There is potential. We all agree. There is something cool here. But not as a add-on in notepad, or to have an extra button on my keyboard, loose waaaay to much water and electricity to the servers etc etc…
Make it work well and have a an actual use case before pushing it so hard expecting everyone ELSE to find a use case all the while playing YOU for that “pleasure”
Slop found in dumpster.
Omfg, the cyber truck of phones, I dare you to spend billions developing this, I double dare you Altman.
🤮
Sadly, it still has to ship with a timer app.
So every button is just a different prompt? Sounds silly.
Hopefully they’ll sell these at an enormous loss (just like everything else they sell) and I’ll finally be able to get a phone for a reasonable price.
I bet they’ll be trivially easy to jailbreak, too.
lol
I’ll take shiny things that jingle, but never materialize, for 100.
Phone that you can talk with. Sounds about right.
