The iPhone antenna issue was a design flaw. It’s not reasonable to tell people to hold a phone in a certain way. Most phones are built without a similar flaw.
LLMs are of course nondeterministic. That doesn’t mean they can’t be useful tools. And there isn’t a clear solution similar to how there was a clear solution to the iPhone problem.
- JohnBooty 11mo ago"Antennagate" is the gift that keeps on giving. Great litmus test for pundits and online peanut galleries. You are technically correct: it was a design flaw. But folks usually incorrectly trot it out as an example of a manufacturer who arrogantly blamed users for a major product flaw. The reality is that that essentially nobody experienced this issue in real life. The problem disappeared as long as you used a cell phone case. Which is how 99.99% of people use their phones. To experience the issue in real life you had to use the phone "naked", hold it a certain way, and have slightly spotty reception to begin with. So when people incorrectly trot this one out I can just ignore the rest of what they're saying...
