They’re pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.
Prefer no AI, require high battery life
yeah but you can’t set inflate your stock value based on hype about battery life.
people forget that these features aren’t for users. it’s for idiots who invest in ridiculous shit hoping it to be the next big thing.
Also I want my OS to be an actual OS with root access. I want Linux in particular.
Like you know, you can setup a file share to back up files. You can back up your phone and get a new one easily. If you lost a phone you can bring it back. Your files organized the way you want and not some things here and done things there like the apps want.
“The only thing we bothered changing in the new model is we added a robot that hoovers even more of your data and then lies to you confidently!”
I really hope the AI hype dies off
We are talking about a very particular branch of AI called LLMs or better know as “chat bots”. Every other AI is usually very useful and have been in your phone forever.
AR needs to kill the smartphone screen soon. Make my phone a keyboard and an external processor for my wearables.
Fuck Siri with ChatGPT. I just want third party app notifications to actually play a sound and vibrate on my watch again. I really hope the next iOS update will fix that. I’m not the only one with this issue currently.
Siri, with a local model so that it can actually figure out what albums want to listen to, is one of the only use cases I have for an LLM
The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.
I still would take an extra mm for more battery life. At this point it’s no difference if it’s a bit thinner.
Can we please stop calling LLMs artificial intelligence?
No. Strictly and technically speaking, LLMs absolutely fall under the category of AI. You’re thinking of AGI, which is a subset of AI, and which LLMs will be a necessary but insufficient component of.
I’m an AI Engineer; I’ve taken to, in my circles, calling AI “Algorithmic Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s far more fitting term for what is happening. But until the Yanns and Ngs and Hintons of the field start calling it that, we’re stuck with it.
Where intelligence in spitting out samples from big data vaguely related to prompt?
Approximate Intelligence fits just as well me thinks
I know more humans that fit that description than language models.
I see that
Let’s just settle on SI, Schrödiger intelligence.
Oh wow shocking, people actually cared more about usability than trashy feature? That’s unheard of
How about making a phone that’s a whole millimeter thicker just to make the glass thick and strong enough that it won’t break if you drop it?
Great idea! Unless of course the replacement of parts and broken phones is a core part of the business model.
There are a few ruggedized phones out there. I bought some cheap Oukitel phones to use as an order pad in restaurant I used to run, because I was fed up with two waitresses dropping and breaking pads. When I sold the business, I kept one. I use it mainly in my boat, as GPS, plotter, speedometer, weather…
The thing drops, gets wet, handled without care.
These phones exist. They are not top performance dogs, but can be quite decent. Why arent they in the front line? Because demand
Rubbish. If my phone isn’t so thin that it can double as a knife, it’s not worth buying.
Even if it were thicker I’d still slap on a sacrificial glass screen protector atop it. I’ve dropped my phone only a handful of times, and so far have only ever broken the protector.
Just slap a shield on it, there’s your added thickness and better drop resistance all in one!
I like AI and my phone to be separate. Chatgpt is just an app, it shouldn’t be a core feature
No! I don’t care about battery! I want to become more dependent on advertising companies to arrange my daily life!
