    Apple needs to use AI to fix their dark mode. I use the accessibility features on all of my Apple devices, and dark mode is very helpful, but it is just broken! Sites and apps that should be dark are light and ones that should be light are dark. It’s very frustrating!

    Also, as I dictated this to my iPad, I remember that it also needs to fix its speech to text functionality. It’s pretty bad!

    Coney think about this for a moment Siri was a flop what makes you think Apple’s version of ChatGPT would be any better?
    Apple blocked ChatGPT and when you say similar it is exactly the same, technically Apple Siri is indeed a first generation chatbot not a tool.

    CNET think about this for a moment Siri was a flop and what makes you think Apple’s version of ChatGPT would be any better?
    Apple blocked ChatGPT and when you say similar it is exactly the same, technically Apple Siri is indeed a first generation chatbot, the tool here was Amazon Alexa we haven’t heard anything from there Machine Learning ambitions yet either.
    Samsung relays on Google Android and they need to remap Google Assistant or Bixby (aka VIV) into a learning tool in Machine Learning, learning a human’s everyday habits on the web Google should give us a option to create an Active Web Crawler also via Bard. But then again.
    Samsung should focus on the human centric application first hand come to think of it.

      And when I mean by Samsung & Google learning tool to be human centric and learn your every day habits including a direct entry logs into what you browse that way when you the human scream out delete the Ai (Google Assistant/Bixby/VIV) the Ai should respond to your query instantaneously.

    You are 100% right about everything you’re saying Apple must stay the same yes be innovative, but keep your values and actually mean what you say Apple, and be honest

    AppleGpt should replace current Siri with a generative Ai which can actually be useful more than siris basic features

    AI is a bunch of snake oil. One day we will get real AI not just some mistake prone software. This is being put out for stock holders.

    Innovation has always come from the smaller companies, while the big companies have only bought the small companies.

    So is she asking forward thinking, innovate, tech companies to stop being innovative and not try to figure out what the next big thing is.

    Apple knows what they’re doing. Have faith in their massive R&D budget

    at $3,500, there isn’t a thing Apple can do to convince me to buy this thing. i’m just not interested. i’m sure eventually the price will go down…not to mention that at that point there will be plenty of developed tech.

    MARK MY WORD

    APPLE WILL USE AI FOR SIRI & NEURAL ENGINE STUFF. 100%. Watch.

    I think Apple has been using AI for a while. Their IPhones had AI processing units for a while. Not all AI are Chat Bots or Image Creators. I bet Apple has been using AI to build 3D models of your face for Face ID since the beginning.

    apple is a very big and influential company thats mostly predictable, steady, … boring. this doesn’t mean that good reporting on apple, based on reality and facts (not rumors and reality distortion) is not sustainable or interesting.

    and the “apple reality distortion field” thing, how often is it people just making stuff up or denying reality themselves, just to use that phrase. kinda like someone saying apple has created a reality distortion field where apple products and loved, admired and emulated. who is creating of living in a reality distortion in this case?

    Like changing the name to Meta helped. Most people don’t even know or care. Rose or a thorn is still a rose or a thorn by any other name.

    I would say Microsoft keeps the ship the steadiest. No need to rock the boat when most people are on it.

    Apple AI or Apple Idiots? I think that’s what the AI stands for at Apple. As always, Apple see, Apple attempts to do or at least tries. can we say Siri anyone? Oh yeah it’s REAL helpful. Just make devices you think we should absolutely want ( according to Uncle Tim ). Not things we can’t ever afford or don’t really want. That’s my take and I’m hanging on to it for dear life.

    Agree completely. We need consistent quality and code improvements in the products apple already makes. I am sick of the flashy crap.

    Why does she sound edgy for the sake of being edgy Apple isn’t in a mid life crisis that’s already happened for the company before the iPhone Apple is just continuing with what it’s always done ….. the iPhone will remain the breadwinner while Apple gets small periods of selling out of the limited stock of the vision pro headset … it’s scarcity will help push the innovation curve and once the supply chain reaches equilibrium to salethem at the scales of a Mac or an iPad Pro version two will be available with 30percent design changes and updated internal version one will be discontinued just like the iPhone X and a cheaper vision headset will be available in the second generation or the 3rd gen

    As stated by others below, if Siri were to be made smarter it would be a very smart move for apple apple needs to go in hard on tech that works seamless with apple products and rely on subscriptions for the business model

    sounds like you’re seeing things, nobody having a midlife crisis they’re just taking risks and innovating.
