“Late to the hype” is actually a good thing. Gen AI is a scam wrapped in idiocy wrapped in a joke. That Apple is slow to ape the idiocy of microsoft is just fine.

They need to convince investors that this delay wasn't due to incompetence. The problem will only be somewhat effective as long as there isn't an innovation that makes AI more effective.

If that happens, Apple shareholders will, at best, ask the company to increase investment in that area or, at worst, to restructure the company, which could also mean a change in CEO.

Maybe they are so far behind because they jumped on the same train but then failed at achieving what they wanted based on the claims. And then they started digging around.

Apple always arrives late to any new tech, doesn't mean they haven't been working on it behind the scenes for just as long though...

Claiming it's just marketing fluff is indicates you do not know what you're talking about.

They published a research paper on it. You are free to publish your own paper disproving theirs.

At the moment, you sound like one of those "I did my own research" people except you didn't even bother doing your own research.

No, it shows how certain people misunderstand the meaning of the word.

You have called npcs in video games "AI" for a decade, yet you were never implying they were somehow intelligent. The whole argument is strangely inconsistent.

By that metric, you can argue Kasparov isn't thinking during chess, either. A lot of human chess "thinking" is recalling memorized openings, evaluating positions many moves deep, and other tasks that map to what a chess engine does. Of course Kasparov is thinking, but then you have to conclude that the AI is thinking too. Thinking isn't a magic process, nor is it tightly coupled to human-like brain processes as we like to think.

It is. And has always been. "Artificial Intelligence" doesn't mean a feeling thinking robot person (that would fall under AGI or artificial conciousness), it's a vast field of research in computer science with many, many things under it.

Honestly, i thought about the chemical energy in the materials constructing the piano and what energy burning it would release.

I'm not sure how you arrived at lime the mineral being a more likely question than lime the fruit. I'd expect someone asking about kidney stones would also be asking about foods that are commonly consumed.

This kind of just goes to show there's multiple ways something can be interpreted. Maybe a smart human would ask for clarification, but for sure AIs today will just happily spit out the first answer that comes up. LLMs are extremely "good" at making up answers to leading questions, even if it's completely false.

But 90% of "reasoning humans" would answer just the same. Your questions are based on some non-trivial knowledge of physics, chemistry and medicine that most people do not possess.
