Is Meta just operating in hope and AI moonshots now ? Everyone one of their products is just garbage to me and becoming less relevant by the day. When do they actually starting building something useful again ? Honestly Apple seems to be using “AI” much more successfully and actually seamlessly integrating it into their existing products to improve them.

Do you use an iPhone ? They do pretty amazing things with images now. Even the search for a photo by text is quite amazing. I used it the other day for work for the first time and I found what I needed in my tens of thousands of photos. It almost truly felt like an extension of my memory, it was actually a pretty cool feeling.

So sorry I don’t buy the Siri attack as being proof of anything. I have found Siri has improved a lot. Even the speed at which Siri works is much faster. The other day I was driving in a really loud old car and used my Apple watch to change the music, I said to myself “there’s no way Siri will get it”, and it did.

I also trust Apple with my data, at least for now. I don’t even slightly trust Meta at all. I found Zuckerbergs interview on Lex Friedman more scary than before as he said all the same freaky stuff disguised by a more “cool” and polished facade. The same dystopian ideas are still there.

Meta products have more users than ever

Doesn’t prove much honestly. How do you even know those users are real ? What value are the products providing ?

My Apple products continue to improve my day to day immensely. The meta products are just rubbish on the whole. How has Instagram improved in the last 5 years ?

That little stinger at the end was not as surprising as they thought it was :P It's very cool tech, but it's far from transparent. It has a very obvious "autotune" like sound to it that jumps right out. when they edited that one word it was obvious it had been edited. Again, super cool tech, just not going to replace voice actors or anything.

I agree with you that v1 isn't a suitable replacement... right now. But what v2? v3?

I think that the "star trek" use case of a live translation is super exciting. I think that this also will force people to have pass phrases that they use to authenticate phone calls with. I normally downplay when people bring up everyone signing everything with a public/private key (impractical for normal users) but clearly there will be a need for authentication protocols as AI proliferates

like... a pin?

I don’t think GP is saying it won’t improve. The thread is about the current state of it that meta wrote this article on.
