Gemini on the iPhone would be AI's mainstream moment
- bevekspldnw 3y agoGiven this is a CNET link it’s exactly what I would expect an LLM to say about itself.
- voisin 3y agoA lot of our media has been replaced by two LLMs in a trench coat.
- outofpaper 3y agoI'm pretty sure the media is the trench coat and always has been.
- __loam 3y agoI'm kind of disgusted by the contempt people in tech have for journalists, when the tech people are the ones who authored the current media ecosystem.
- cassianoleal 3y ago"people in tech" and "the tech people" are very unfortunate generalisations.
- __loam 3y agoAlmost like we shouldn't be generalizing an entire professional sector with statements like "I hate journalists", huh? The blame for the decline in journalism lies squarely at the feet of the architects of the ad based internet economy.
- bevekspldnw 3y agoI agree, but that doesn’t mean CNET is a reliable news source.
- __loam 3y agoI agree that CNET sucks, but it's very emblematic of the affiliate marketing bullshit that has infested the internet for a while now.
- rolymath 3y agoChatGPT was AI's mainstream moment. I hate journalists.
- phmqk76 3y agoI really don’t think that’s true at all. ChatGPT is absolutely not mainstream. It’s pierced the consciousness of the tech-savvy, which maybe be our world, but is decidedly not mainstream. Most people would have no idea how to even use it, they hear about it from headlines. Having it in your pocket and interacting with it on a near-daily basis would be that mainstream moment, whether Apple gets there this year or Google manages to get that feature in tens of millions of phones through an update to its essential services through the Play Store. But your comment definitely shows what it means to be in a bubble.
- pama 3y agoWe’ve purchased an annual subscription for my 85 yo (long time retired) inlaws. They use it daily. They ask their doctors insightful questions and get better care. They planned trips with it. They get recipe advice. I don’t know how much more penetration it should have to be considered mainstream but it certainly feels more widely available and used than what Google was 25 years ago, despite having a subscription model.
- okdood64 3y agoDo they double check the information for hallucinations? I'd personally be scared to promote usage of this for someone (especially a senior) who wouldn't have the ability and discipline to.
- pama 3y agoNot sure what you mean? If the recipe is not right it is no major problem but so far all was great. Their trips and questions have been on the spot and it has helped them dramatically.

- _giorgio_ 3y agoI have chatGPT on my phone and I barely use it. I use it a lot on the desktop (paid account). I've used Gemini or Bard probably a couple of times. I don't see a great mainstream moment.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoIf they could bring agentic interaction to phone, I think it will fundamentally change the way we interact. Based on my experiments with GPT-4V it's close to being there but AI still hasn't reached that point. And given they are using tiny model in comparison, it would be hard to do that.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoI don’t do much on my phone. I avoid downloading apps in general. But I use ChatGPT on it multiple times a day.
- ametrau 3y agoThat’s us though. The mainstream prefers the phone for everything (as crazy as that seems).
- daft_pink 3y agoI think it’s a mistake because the whole point of using Apple is not to use Google
