Appple are speaking to the “Everyman”, Canonical are speaking to the tech literate.
Different audiences, Apple has power users, but its largest audience is an average person (my wife for example).
The average person doesn’t care about tech, they want it to work, work well enough and be dependable.
Linux is can be a minefield, and Windows is a mess IMO.
- preinheimer 2y agoI'd really like to hold onto the belief that "make lying easier" doesn't speak to the everyman for just a little bit longer please.
- the_other 2y agoLying can be seen as a sign of intelligence. Are you saying you hope “everyman” stays dumb? I’m just being provocative to highlight this is a subtle issue. I agree with the general sentiment that Apple shouldn’t be encouraging ppl to lie. I found the actress kying to her colleague one quite tasteless. That said, this all sums up how I feel about generative AI at the moment: a solution looking for a problem.
- ellisv 2y agoApple also shows while Canonical tells. The average person doesn't care about an animation of a terminal or a chip with 3d composited "Performant" or "Secure" text. They care about "what can this thing do".
- throwaway106382 2y agoApple's ads tell you what they think their target audience is, clearly they think it's "bumbling fool that can't do anything right".
- illwrks 2y agoYou’re simplifying it a bit, but versions of that framing and mindset have brought user interfaces and interactions into existence.
