What? Are you too good for some authentic Italian paste-a?
Excuse me that was actually on pizza
Too be fair to Gemini, even though it is worse than Claude and Gpt. The weird answer were caused by bad engineering and not by bad model training. They were forcing the incorporattion off the Google search results even though the base model would most likely have gotten it right.
This is so fucking stupid. All Gemini (and every other LLM) does is find info on the internet and regurgitate it back to you. The LLM part just does it's best to narrow it down to the specific answer you're looking for much more quickly and summarize it. It has no way to disseminate fact from fiction.
Same goes for the Google search engine. Does it suck? Yes. Is it worse than it used to be? Yes. Is that Google's fault? Not necessarily, it's moreso the rise of AI just uploading mountains of bullshit to the internet. Every other search engine has the same problems.
Although I am in no way advocating for the use of Google search...
Am I the only one who doesn't like the idea of having AI built into my phone. Seems very dystopian to me
An ai can help a lot of non tech savvy people. Imagine every time they want to do something, they could just ask the ai on how to do it, instead of asking you or having to go through a billion SEO garbage google results.
I see your point, but the argument could be made that instead of having to have Artificial Intelligence built into your product for that reason, you could just make your product less complicated..
I mean I absolutely want it but also understand your apprehension.
I mean imagine every person having a personal assistant in their pocket who can draft emails on your behalf based on other emails in your inbox, remind you of things without actually creating a reminder, fill out forms for you, answer texts for you, write software for you, create automations for you, etc. etc. I mean the possibilities are endless for increased productivity.
On the other hand, in order to do those things, they have to have access to just about everything, which is scary to me, personally. But I think the vast majority have made it clear they don't give a single shit about privacy.
I absolutely see the benefits of having AI for those reasons. But like you say, it needs to know way too much to accomplish this and as long as AI is owned by already data hungry corporations then I don't feel comfortable using AI for personal use. And some may not care about privacy, but there are many people who simply do not know the risks involved in allowing AI to have this kind of access.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
If you’re disappointed that the only AI model that will integrate with Apple devices so far will be ChatGPT, it sounds like you won’t have to wait long for that to change.
Apple will announce “at least” one other deal — to add Google Gemini, too — this fall, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter today.
Anthropic has been mixed up in these rumors as well, and Gurman also suggests Apple could announce a deal with that company at some point, if not this fall.
Beyond chatbot integration lies Apple Intelligence, which is only supposed to emerge, initially, in beta form this fall.
Apple reportedly wants to make AI an avenue for direct profits, not just as a set of features aimed at moving hardware products.
As part of that, Gurman suggests that the company “could eventually” roll out subscription-only Apple Intelligence features.
The original article contains 350 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I think this is good. I highly doubt I will ever find myself setting Gemini as the default AI on my phone but more options and competition is always better.
