The most interesting thing about the Apple update is the seemingly lacking focus on AI.

Google went all in with a chatgpt clone and productivity focus whereas Apple keeps diving into hardware.

Clearly there’s a lot happening behind the scenes in terms of ML, but the consumer is not seeing the same types of interfaces as what chatgpt introduced.

My initial opinion is that this is actually smart. Apple is not a chaser. They take time to get things right. The headset was 9 years in the making. Google just throws everything it has just to catch up with chatgpt.

Do you have any thoughts on these things?

I agree. Not hearing AI or metaverse was refreshing.

Apple is not a chaser but a leader, wether people like it or not they are the best at what they do and their point of difference is their quality not quantity.

I like the fact that they will wait many years in order to perfect something rather than rush it out in a hurry.

This is spot on 💯 Apple won’t be first but when they do it, it will be done right.

They seems to also focus on solving actual problems and delivering outcomes vs just selling tools. The tool is just there to deliver on a promise of solving something. Google just doesn’t seem to get that.

As you say there’s a ton of ML learning packed in there.

If Siri is not already a ChatGPGT clone is for a reason.

LLMs come with a ton of legal risk. Law suits are coming.

Everyone expected a powerful first step from Google, and Google did not expect that someone would credit them. And being trapped in expectations, Google is now forced to act hastily, chaotically and even pathetically. Apple can afford not to focus on this direction, take the best and roll out a ready-made solution later according to its classic scheme

I agree with them not being a chaser. Probably a smart move, they always have the best products and have a walled garden of user data if they wanted to dive into AI

I was reading an article today about how there was the Google memo leak “we have no moat” against open source AI which I thought was interesting. Basically it said these companies with deep pockets can be challenged by someone smart with a few hours on their hands and a high power computer.

AI makes people uncomfortable. Apple is selling products and is quite aware of how you feel as you consider purchases. Plus they have no advantage here.

How did you come up with “makes people uncomfortable” ? Just curious.

I don't know if it's one thing. The sometimes creepy generative art, the LLMs and capability overhang, alignment, job security. None of it gives me a warm fuzzy so unless you're directly selling me models it's probably best not to bring it up. Even companies who are using it on the backend can't get much play because of course you're going to use it.

You will find this interview interesting as it provides some insight into their AI approach and philosophy.

When apple says, we now separate images of your dog too… that is their core ML product.
