I wouldn’t know because Apple doesn’t want iPhone 13 Pro Max users having access to their AI functionality. So my 18.2 update is neutered compared to someone’s running the latest device.
This is actually for lack of RAM reasons - 15 pro and above have 8gb RAM which is enough to fit 3-4gb models locally with room to spare for rest of the applications. The 13 pro max has 6gb of RAM which is not enough.
I disagree, I think the problem with surveys like this is the focus on billing everything as "AI" instead of just what it used to be as a nice feature. A lot of the small things that Apple has introduced, are things that blend in and are not screaming "AI" at you. Which is a good thing. So many of the things that are being pushed by other companies are AI crap that is flashy to show off but either the utility of it i…
This is emblematic of the LLM race in general. We’re actively pressured to use co-pilot at work, and it’s crammed into every Microsoft product. I’m thankful that my iPhone is old enough not to use LLMs. Companies are afraid of being left behind in the new arms race, but that doesn’t actually mean that the technology actually present use-cases which most people need. (Worse are the meeting summaries or emails which ar…
Holy shit, really? That sounds horrific.

What I don't understand is, what benefit is there for 99% of companies to get in on the ground floor of LLMs? If you're not developing your own model, you're effectively just beta testing someone else's model. And if the sales pitch of LLMs being able to do basically anything comes true, wouldn't most companies still get the same benefit if they just wait? It seems like a lot of companies are so terrified of missing…
If you just wait and all of your competitors have a workforce enabled and equipped with the best tools, you are at a disadvantage. It's being the company that put off computerization or automation when everyone else went wild.
And FWIW, I cannot imagine a programmer, in 2024, that remains dismissive of LLMs or the related tooling. While they are grossly oversold by the LinkedIn crowd, and are still a far ways from so-called "prompt engineers" replacing devs, they're a massive accelerator and "second set of eyes", especially if you're doing varied, novel work.

> We’re actively pressured to use co-pilot at work Unless you work at Microsoft, that's really interesting to me. Can't say I've ever experienced a boss pushing for me to use a certain developer tool.
Year ago, my company switched from Skype for Business to MS Teams, and we just used Teams the same way we did Skype for Business (PMing each other directly) and the guy who made the transition was always lecturing us about having conversations in public threads instead.
"Smartphone users in general are unsatisfied with the existing AI features as the survey recorded 73% of Apple Intelligence users and 87% of Galaxy AI users stating the new features to be either ‘not very valuable’ or they ‘add little to no value’ to their smartphone experience."
This could be read as 27% of users, who have tried a brand new way of interacting with their phone, found it useful to some degree right away. Imagine: You introduce a brand new, well, anything into peoples lives at Apple scale, and 27% of them find it useful, right away.
I don't know what number people expect, but I think you could consider this an outrageous success. I am not saying it should be read that way. But then again, I am not sure why it should be read any other way.

I disagree about the summaries. I find them to be vey good and helpful. I teach a high level course and each week have the transcript summarized for students; also get feedback on my lecture and help creating the lesson plan for the following week. My father was Dean of one of the top teachers colleges in the world and has been blown away by how useful LLMs can be for education.

Personally I've found Copilot's meeting summaries to be really good. They're definitely a lot better than most minutes I've ever seen taken contemporaneously.
