Latest Version of Android Has Gemini AI at Its Core

It’s funny because Apple is so far behind these features it’s hilarious.

iOS is literally fisher price OS compared to Android with AI.

Photos search, circle to search, Gemini assistant etc are utterly amazing and nothing iOS has right now compares.

But hey, we’re getting another button!

Lmao when google can actually create a stable ecosystem and not just one (in my opinion) average product let’s talk.

As always, you can't rely SOLELY on AI, if I were a lawyer I'd use it to do a quick search but I would actually read the paragraph and use my judgement of course. As anyone should do btw.

Apple's idea of a "stable ecosystem" begins and ends with them building a few different lines of glorified appliances and then walling them off from the rest of the world. It would be pretty embarrassing if Apple didn't have stability in that kind of environment. For those who enjoy the sterile curated environment Apple tells you to enjoy, have at it.

Google, on the other hand, is aggressively pushing a viable contender to Amazon in the AI, home assistant, and data analytics spaces, and Microsoft in the education and corporate office suite space. Google maps not only feeds the most commonly used consumer GPS navigation system in the world, its API is also one of the largest sources of route-planning data used by delivery and mobile technical service personnel in the corporate world today. Google's software and services are used by pretty much everyone, including Apple users, everywhere. The same can't be said about Apple's software. Not even close.

And most, if not all, of Google's software works just as well on my Samsung phone as it does on my Dell laptop, my neighbor's Mac, my Daughter's iPhone, and even my Hisense TV. And you can sing all you want about "fragmentation", but the truth is that it is just about as much a guarantee that any given Android app on the Google App store will work on any old Android phone, just as an iOS app on Apple's store will work on any old iPhone.

But sure. Google killed that nerdy "glass" thing and its weird social media.. thing.. a decade or so ago. So they are the "kill everything" company ("everything" in this context being all sorts of technologies Apple hasn't even begun to try to explore yet).

Since we're talking about android/pixel on an apple website, one android/pixel thing I wish apple would bring to iPhone would be multiple user profiles.

And when I say multiple user profiles, I don't mean for multiple people. I mean multiple user profiles for one person. E.g. a work profile, a personal profile, etc...with complete app / data separation so that data doesn't mix between the two profiles.

I feel like apple could do a better job with multiple user profiles, give it that apple touch, make it work really fast and smooth.

Google Search is hot garbage, but hopefully, some of what they are working on actually lives up to claims and is actually useful.
Personally, I am done with Google and want to get away from anything Google. I am hoping OpenAi or anyone for that matter can build a better search platform to help rid ourselves of Google Search dominance.
As for Ai on iPhone, we know Apple has locked it down pretty hard which I personally like. I like the idea of on-device AI to improve optimizable tasks, but which can also allow safe integration with dedicated LLM models whether Gemini, Claude or ChatGPT.

No it’s horrible to use it for that! AI still “makes mistakes”, which is something we’re still not used to computers doing. People are going to rely on AI analysis and make wrong decisions.

We need to use our brains!

No matter with AI or without, we have to use our brains.

It reminds me of Wikipedia when I was younger. Of COURSE you have to validate everything it says with other sources, your brain and your judgement.
 
What’s with the ancient articles recommended under this?

Also I hate AI, it’s making everything worse. Searching for anything on Google these days without adding “Reddit” to the inquiry just gives you pages of AI nonsense slop.

Imagine this scenario in the near future:
A) user messages friend,
B) friend's smartphone AI does the reply automatically, embeds query;
C) user's smartphone AI receives the reply, automatically answers the query with another;
D) friend's AI generates another reply but CCs some work group in which both friends belong because it is all work related;
E) all the the work group's smarphones' AI auto-generate replies to everybody;
F) 10 minutes later the entire world communication system is shut down because over 5 Zeta of messages have been generated on the world's 3 billion smartphones.

Yeah, that's totally likely to happen. :D

"Ask This PDF" : I really really really want this feature 🤩

I hope Apple has something comparable. I think this is going to be a game changer in businesses. I can imagine it will be great for lawyers for example, because laws aren't the simplest thing to read. Same for engineering documents or work procedures.

Lawyer here. Hard pass. I need to read the whole law myself and whole case or original document. People read things in different ways.

Google's approach to AI: Roll out to as many users as possible.

Apple's probable approach to AI: New Apple Pencil only works on new iPads, Old pencils will not work on new iPads for no reason effing other than greed.

Or maybe because when they moved the camera to the long edge where the charging magnets are, they had to move the effing magnets.
