I agree with you but you are missing the fact that a lot of people are shopping with ai.
My wife in fact just presented me with a spreadsheet generated by Claude of the jewelry she’d like to have.
So yes. I expect a lot of people will use ai to shop.
Re: Googlebook
#704No thanks. Google is heading for a similar closed ecosystem setup as Apple. Except given their recent behaviour I have very little trust that they won't execute that in the most user hostile fashion they can come up with.
>a similar closed ecosystem setup as Apple
Uh, you do know that Google releases as open source most of Chrome, ChromeOS and Android?

I don’t mean to be snide, but go touch grass.
Regular people will use AI for everyday things, not writing code and managing Asana boards
Re: Googlebook
#706Top 3 comments are so negative.
Here’s my optimistic take - Google is already supplying Gemini/Gemma models for the next generation of Apple Intelligence. It makes complete sense for them to enter the hardware market.
I’d be happier if they use more on device models by optimizing their hardware for the next generation of Gemmma models.

Regular people don't use AI, majority of people don't like it. You're in a bubble.

At the risk of going slightly tangential here...

This is all you need to know about mobile to understand we're in a complete duopoly that desperately needs a modern "ma bell" style breakup.
The fuckers who make these devices have zero interest in allowing you to do anything other than spend money with them, of which they will take their cut.
The whole thing feels optimized for trapping users, not enabling them.
Re: Googlebook
#709Both Google and Samsung have adopted the sleek, rounded edge, sharp trackpad cutout and metal frame like Apple.
If the Macbook Neo didn't exist, both of sleek designs might of tided people away from Apple, but the price on the Neo, with the hardware polish from Apple is hard to beat if you're content with MacOS.

Wtf. I use OpenAI for all my shopping now. How to match clothing and finding things I have seen.
ChatGPT has helped me with all the wired social things I have no clue about. Like how long should a suit jacket be, what to pair with loafers. And more often than not I buy the things ChatGPT suggest.
ChatGPT lets me be normal.
