Yeah... No they can't. I don't agree with any of your "disruptions," but this one is just comically incorrect. There was a post on HN somewhat recently that was a simulated computer using LLMs, and it was unusable.
- aurareturn 11mo agoI find myself doing more and more inside ChatGPT. When ChatGPT inevitably can generate GUIs on the fly, book me an uber, etc. I don't see why iOS wouldn't have competition.
- lucaslazarus 11mo agoNot to mention you would need an order of magnitude improvement in on-device inference speed to make this feasible at current smartphone costs. Or they could offload it and sell an insecure overpriced-subscription laggy texting device that bricks when you don’t have cell service…
- aurareturn 11mo agoIt isn't going to happen soon. Maybe 4-6 years from now. But it is clearly the direction. Apple will try to stave off this move by turning iOS more into an LLM as well.
