To put simply, yeah. Before we could have computers memorize and count for us now we can have them think

the iPhone was not first. Apple doesn't deserve the circle jerk it gets.

No, while ChatGPT is very confident when it answers things, it is not necessarily correct

I tried asking it the same technical question 3 times and it gave 3 different seemingly logical explanations of how it got to it's answer - and every answer was different

Another frequent example people mention is that when asking it for code in a language, it will frequently invent things that the language can't do

Idk if anything this showcases AI’s ability on a very accessible, simple level for everyone to be introduced to. So many jobs can now be automated, and public backlash lessoned as people are educated on AI firsthand.

Nah. It wasnt the first, but it was pretty much the first one that didnt suck and took the braindead user into account. Im no apple fanboi, trust me on that, but they did revolutionize the phone industry.

No. It has broad knowledge but no depth. If you ask it similar questions it gives similar answers. Meaning it isn't smart enough to have deep knowledge for nuances.

For example if you ask it "why is X team so good right now". You will get a very similar answer if you changed it to "why is Y team so good right now"

lol no they didn't. youre clearly a fanboi. they took what android phones already did and just slightly built on it, that's not revolutionary. ive never had an iPhone, androids dont suck.

if anything, Apple created a dumber version if youre saying they have braindead customers. making something dumb isn't revolutionary lol. Android is revolutionary in that they started it all, continue to evolve, and offers many more options at much more affordable prices

edit:

american teenagers obsess over iPhones. the world chooses Android.

Android holds 71% of the market world-wide. IPhone is only 28%

Yeah, and seeing all the people in denial about it is hilarious.

Yep china is actually coming up with revolutionary products such as a flying car we've been thinking was impossible. As well as elon musk, ever since tesla really became popular, the man came up with amazing products

The only thing revolutionary about the iPhone was its marketing. Until that point, smartphones were primarily the realm of enterprise and upper-class professionals, not middle-class consumers. Nothing about it was a technological leap forward.

the problem is that Apple chooses to make it impossible for Android & IPhone to work well together. my in-laws all have iPhones & it's like they cant even send me pictures, it's stupid. Apple goes out of their way to make it a class divider. like I dont want to spend $900 on a phone wtf

uh the first iPhone came out in 2007...

I didnt say Android was the first phone, I said the iPhone was not the first phone

the first phones with music and cameras were androids though which is why I said iPhone built on androids.

Well my point was, they made it accessible. Yeah, you can call it dumbing it down, but that is often what is required to bring new tech to the masses. Jobs (or at least his engineering team) were pretty good at figuring that out at the time. Sometimes that dumbing down feels unnecessary to tech people, but you gotta get the masses moving to push things forward. There is no big money in catering to the tech savvy. Its just like Facebooks Metaverse, they havent figured out how to make it palatable to the masses no matter how good the tech really is. Until they can do that, its going no where.

I edited too slowly. I never said android was the first phone. I said iPhone was not the first phone.

I really shouldn't say "android" because thats just the processing platform I think. but like Samsungs first cellphone with a camera came out in 2000. iphones just built off what everyone else already did.

they dont sell to the masses though. they almost thrive on creating a class divide. they aren't accessible at all, they're expensive as fuck. they're a status symbol & I think that's the only reason people view them the way they do. they reslly dont do anything a cheaper android cant do. I dont understand whats so complicated about an android to people.
