I’m staying on iOS 18.0.1 without the AI Apple crap

Welcome to the Luddite convention here.

It's so gimmicky compared to something actually useful, like better battery.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Smartphone buyers care more about that thing that they've been begging for, for years? You don't say... And mobile phone manufacturers are again and still going to ignore what people actually want in favor of expensive and non functional vaporware, like they always do?

You don't say!

Prefer no AI, require high battery life

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

They're pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.

AR needs to kill the smartphone screen soon. Make my phone a keyboard and an external processor for my wearables.

"The only thing we bothered changing in the new model is we added a robot that hoovers even more of your data and then lies to you confidently!"

Also I want my OS to be an actual OS with root access. I want Linux in particular.

Like you know, you can setup a file share to back up files. You can back up your phone and get a new one easily. If you lost a phone you can bring it back. Your files organized the way you want and not some things here and done things there like the apps want.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

yeah but you can't set inflate your stock value based on hype about battery life.

people forget that these features aren't for users. it's for idiots who invest in ridiculous shit hoping it to be the next big thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I really hope the AI hype dies off

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fuck Siri with ChatGPT. I just want third party app notifications to actually play a sound and vibrate on my watch again. I really hope the next iOS update will fix that. I'm not the only one with this issue currently.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Siri, with a local model so that it can actually figure out what albums want to listen to, is one of the only use cases I have for an LLM

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I still would take an extra mm for more battery life. At this point it's no difference if it's a bit thinner.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

The features customers actually want vs what the shareholders tell them they want.

Can we please stop calling LLMs artificial intelligence?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you don't think this counts as AI, can you give us an example of some function or behavior that you would consider AI?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Reasoning, sentience, and the ability, over time, to improve. There’s more, but that’s the top three.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

No. Strictly and technically speaking, LLMs absolutely fall under the category of AI. You’re thinking of AGI, which is a subset of AI, and which LLMs will be a necessary but insufficient component of.

I’m an AI Engineer; I’ve taken to, in my circles, calling AI “Algorithmic Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s far more fitting term for what is happening. But until the Yanns and Ngs and Hintons of the field start calling it that, we’re stuck with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I like your definition. Algorithmic intelligence fits much better. And thanks for giving me a rabbit hole (AGI) to dive into.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Approximate Intelligence fits just as well me thinks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I know more humans that fit that description than language models.

Where intelligence in spitting out samples from big data vaguely related to prompt?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Let's just settle on SI, Schrödiger intelligence.
