Apple iPhone Design Chief Hired by Ive, Altman to Work on AI Devices
- vinniepukh 3y agoI am speculating that the early AI devices are going to be centered around data capture with retrieval still being offloaded to smartphones. Of course, the AI pin is aiming to take the smartphone completely out of the loop, however it's unclear right now what capabilities it has. Looking forward to early reviews of the AI pin understand better if the marketing lived up to reality.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoMan I'm torn on this. On one hand I don't like the idea of handing over my agency to an AI in a post-smartphone future. The AI pin asks you to do that, though I imagine it will be a lot more like an Echo Dot-to-go. At the same time it might get more people into podcasts and audiobooks rather than addictive visual media like what the smartphone era is all about. Functionally I also hate visual ads more than merely audio ads and have a soft spot for cheesy radio ads. Getting rid of mobile screens would definitely be a societal paradigm shift if successful.
