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.
💯 The best way it was described to me was “it’s a parlor trick.” And I’ve started to use that phrasing ever since.
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.
It’s the only thing it is helpful for. Just for coding homework, and nothing else.
I use it all the time
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 feel like most of the idiots who say AI is trash use it as a Google alternative, which is it not for.
