Just like every other AI application they’ve come up with for end users, I cannot fathom how the AI aspect would be preferable to purpose-made code that does one thing without having to “think” about it.
How does the introduction of an “agent” who “might make mistakes” improve my user experience with… Literally anything?
“Hey, Jippity. Send a message to Chris”
Thinking: The user wants me to call Kris. But I don’t see anyone named Kris in the contacts. Maybe the contacts are corrupted. I should try to fix it.
Wait, it would be easier to recreate the contacts. So I’ll just delete all of them and let the user know.
Command: rm -rf ~/.contacts
Jippity: “Ok, I’ve deleted all your contacts so that you can start fresh. Go ahead and enter the number for Kris!”
Omfg, the cyber truck of phones, I dare you to spend billions developing this, I double dare you Altman.
Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?
Now where have we seen this before?
But you already said “Android”…
Pass
Good. Waste that money.
that’s gonna be a very very expensive phone
Who doesn’t like their phone charging them by the word?
🤮

But it’s going to be amazing! Incredible capabilities are just 6-12 months away!
Why all these products and implementations and spending can’t wait for those capabilities to be real is beyond me.

I do not understand the Luddite view of ai. It is a tool. You can use a hammer to smash your finger or frame out a house. You can upgrade to an air nailer and work faster.
If people are too stupid to see what it is, they are going to just get left behind. When y’all old and whining how you don’t understand how the world works and you’re scared, this is why. It was a choice.
Hopefully they’ll sell these at an enormous loss (just like everything else they sell) and I’ll finally be able to get a phone for a reasonable price.
I bet they’ll be trivially easy to jailbreak, too.
Slop found in dumpster.
Sadly, it still has to ship with a timer app.
“Call Jenny”
GPT: calling 8675309
No, call Jenny in my contacts.
GPT: oh sorry, you don’t have Jenny contacts in your contacts.
Ugh 😩
“just call Jenny! Jenny! Come on! I call Jenny every day, you just called her yesterday!”
" that’s not how we do things, Retro_unlimited…"
(sigh) “you are an expert phone assistant, you will use your contacts tool to look up Jenny. J-e-n-n-y. Then you will use your phone tool to dial her number. DO NOT talk to Jenny. You are FORBIDDEN to try and sell her a $2000/month ChatGPT Elite Pro plus subscription again. Just dial and let me do the talking.”
[Reasoning] [Opening contacts] [Reasoning some more]
“Sorry, you hit your token limit for this month. Do you want to move to the Elite Pro Plus plan now for only $1999.99?”
lol
I’ll take shiny things that jingle, but never materialize, for 100.
It doesn’t have to materialize. It just has to trick investors into investing more. They’re taking a page out of Elon’s playbook.
So every button is just a different prompt? Sounds silly.
