The rushed launch of Apple Intelligence was a debacle, reminding Apple it should focus on readiness rather than quickly appeasing shareholders.

    Well . . . yeah. All generative AI is awful. It’s a scam wrapped in hype surrounded by an insult.

        I do too, as someone who understands what it actually is, what it’s useful for, and what its limitations are. The issue is every company shoving it down users’ throats as future AGI/something LLMs will never achieve.

      I wouldn’t say that. It’s a tool like anything else. You don’t say a hammer is useless because it’s really bad at driving screws no matter how much your terrible coworker keeps insisting that she just hits the screws in with the hammer and it’s fine. I learned programming very quickly with ChatGPT and I use LLMs all the time for help with programming. They’re also good for proofreading, learning new languages, and a few other things. The hype is exaggerated but these things are quite useful when used correctly.

        Username checks out! :D Yeah, it has some narrow use cases which aren’t the worst thing ever. If it wasn’t destroying the entire tech industry and to some extent the global economy with utter lies and deceit it might be kind of okay sometimes.
