    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?

    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!”

      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.

      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.

    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.
