i haven’t programmed since college 15 years ago and even i know that 0 == false for non bool variables. what kind of professional programmers wouldn’t know that?

if you’re worried about readability you can leave a comment.

i guess they just mean like a 2D “touch”screen.

that steak looks terrible.

If its not more blatant ways to display ads…

is it more blatant than television has ever been? Like it or not, lots of people want free shit even if it’s injected with ads.

the point is chat GPT is trained on ideas people have already had. it’s not inventing Trump’s economic theory out of thin air.

There is code in Siri that understands calendars, but the LLM part ain’t it.

yes i know, you are getting hung up on my colloquial use of “understand”. the LLM doesn’t need to “understand” it on that level because siri does. the LLM is there to parse the language and hand off to Siri. that’s all i’m saying.

i suspect we are going to have a semantic disagreement on what “understanding” means here.

ChatGPT is absolutely trained on the concept of calendars, that iPhones indeed have calendars, and how they work. It doesn’t need to “understand” what a calendar is on a deep epistemological level to process requests about them. If you ask chatGPT a question about calendars, it’ll answer you. So in that shallower sense LLMs absolutely “understand” what you mean, and that’s enough for chatGPT to help siri.

“it” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I agree a lot of the “AI” features being pushed are junk that I don’t want (e.g. image playground), but there are some that i do think that will help a lot as we have discussed in the other chain.

with chatgpt siri will just be way better at understanding everyday language. For example, if i am listening to an Apple Music playlist with a bunch of different artists and i say “hey siri play this album” it has no idea what I mean. ChatGPT easily handles context dependent language like that.

If you haven’t used chatGPT you should try it and compare the results with siri. It’s not perfect but it is way easier to get what you want.

AI has no idea what a calendar is or what the word calendar means.

Of course it does, where are you getting this from? This is what LLMs do, understand language. If you ask chaptGPT to add an event to your apple calendar it will say it doesn’t have access and give you instructions to do so. Apple is basically working on converting those instructions to interface with siri.

And even if they do limit it to basic functionality like speech to text or scheduling, it already does most of that amd they’d be plowing millions into the slightest improvements.

that’s not what the ChatGPT part will be doing. As you say, siri already handles that. ChatGPT is there to understand the language and context of the request, something LLMs do much much better than Siri now.

the execution and delivery of Vision Pro was not the problem, that’s where Siri is struggling now.

this is silly, integrating Siri with ChatGPT is one of the ways AI will probably benefit apple users. If only just for parsing and contextually processing user requests better than it does now.

Its shitty that there are ads

i mean there has to be a way to fund the business. ads are fine as long as there is a way to remove them through options or paying a reasonable fee.

you can disable authentication on your local network.

they’re not talking about whole foods.

hence “bringing” to airpods.

Universal Translators, the future is here.

why don’t you actually say what happened in the headline rather than making a lame ass meme joke.
