it’s literally just a bunch of tech dweebs making these decisions who only hang out with other tech dweebs so they have no idea what the average person wants
Most people want longer battery lives and cheaper repairs, they’ve wanted those for years. Instead, we get AI which can reply to texts for us, that we still need to proof read anyway. Which is just a soulless amalgamation of the words of everyone we’ve never met
You’re absolutely right — battery life and repairability are some of the most requested features, and they affect how we use our devices daily. The addition of Apple Intelligence on iMacs does seem geared toward more advanced functionality, but it doesn’t necessarily address the core user demands like longevity and affordability. AI can bring impressive new tools, like advanced text recognition or more intuitive workflows, but if the basics like battery life and repairs aren’t up to par, it’s a harder sell. Users want tech that lasts and doesn’t feel like a constant upgrade cycle
I don’t have a particular chip on my shoulder about Apple but who tf are all these people who want “AI” bullshit on their devices
Rubes
Lots of insufferable tech nerds want a magic mirror to tell them who the epicest is of them all.
Wait, you don’t want a Bazinga key dedicated to making shit up by burning rainforest?
when you put it like that, i’m almost sold. tell me, does the AI almost always default to being racist as well? if so, i’m in.

but the market says AI is the future??

god that is one of the best single sentence descriptions of LLM chatbots i’ve ever heard

Techbros think that the masses want or need the bazinga tech so badly that it’s forcibly pushed on them, from OSes to search engines.
I unironically talk to AIs a lot because it’s easier than talking to actual people
