"Oh cool what are they thinking of?"
Fuck...
I was thinking that every app would have deeper settings embedded (which seems worse) but I guess the idea here is to bake settings into the OS so only AI can access them. Would this allow for a lot more settings or a lot more nuanced settings?
Gut reaction to AI in 2024 is very bad but I guess a part of me is still curious what they are thinking of doing here.
This is also interesting because like it or not these companies already have a ton of knowledge about you and how you use your device and this may be a way for that data to be served to us in a useful way. I'd prefer they didn't have the data in the first place.
Frustratingly, every second they save us is counterbalanced by a 30 second ad or some other negative. I'm planning for a potential future where I might be using a dumb phone to avoid what they're putting together.
I too am curious, morbidly so.
