I wouldn't say they underdelivered, the features are simply not done yet. It's super smart and a ton of fun to talk to and use, but the extreme stuff is coming, just a little later.
I appreciate your perspective, but imagine a similar scenario applied to a different type of product. "Here are the keys to your new car, the windshield you saw in brochure isn't ready just yet, but we'll let you know when you can come back to get it fitted". In that case, you would say the car manufacturer underdelivered, no matter how pure they original intent to deliver the whole car. If the product you told people you'd give them isn't ready don't ship it, better yet, don't announce it until you're in a good place to get it out the door on time.
Yes. Ultimately, I think we can expect the experience will be aligned with the demo when the new voice mode arrives. However it’s definitely later than expected at this point and the app as it stands right now is less useable than we probably expected based on those demos.
@@brightideasagency I whole heartedly agree - but I assume it was to stick it to Google a day before the Google I/O and they rushed it a bit. I have come to the realization that much of this promised land is still on the horizon and not an actualality. I do agree that they all should probably tone down the over promising and under delivering at this point. But it's a maturity game at this point and within 10-12 months we will see many of these things arrive, if not even more crazy features once the next gen of models rolls out. What I am more worried about is the knee jerk reaction from US Tech Giants to not roll out in Europe becaue of the DMA and AI Act Regulations. This is a much much bigger issue for Europe as a whole and our competitiveness in the coming age. One which I don't see enough focus on - many of the senior MDs/Country Managers I speak to all seem to think that the EU regulative space is a competitive advantage - and I really don't see it this way at the moment.
Aren't all these issues connected though? The stupid overhyping of these products and rushing them to market before they're ready is what has gotten regulators spooked. You have Sam Altman telling us this is the most impactful technology ever developed, and then his company gets into a spat with Hollywood actress over whether or not they coopted her voice. If you're dealing with a serious tool, you need to behave seriously, and focus on communicating accurately. The failure of the tech companies in showing they are up to the challenge of being mature and reliable stewards of this technology is what is creating a questionable regulatory landscape.
well you have a point. But in general I think we are over-regulating the digital space in Europe. The DMA regulation is not directly related to AI and is the primary reason they are pulling the plug on EU. When it comes to the AI act, I don't think our law makers are even remotely equipped to fathom much less regulate the area of AI. And then they try to preemptively regulate a space, which haven't seen any major incidents yet based on fearmongering. Google not launching their models in EU for 8-12 months and now Apple not launching Apple Intelligence will be a major hit for our competitiveness in the long run. It is a very sad trend we are seeing and something which will have major implications for us in general.
There is definitely a trend toward the more chatty unless you alter the default. However, in some uses I appreciate this, particularly when chatting with ChatGPT on my phone.

Isn't it because the new voice mode isn't out yet?

This conversations with AI are so long.. It should be shorter, I dont need their long artificial opinions and comments
You can set it to short responses, or mention to briefly summarise it.
