Unfortunately, we still have no idea how this « unobtrusive » AI companion will look when it comes out « late » next year.
The creators of ChatGPT and the lead designer of Apple’s original iPhone took the entire tech world by surprise yesterday with the official announcement of a major merger intended to revolutionize the way artificial intelligence is integrated in our daily life, and now the first details on exactly what that entails are (unofficially) coming to light.
Unfortunately, the inside information collected by The Wall Street Journal from an internal « preview » given by OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman to the AI research organization’s employees is not very. precise, focusing more on what the groundbreaking product expected out « late next year » will not be than how it will actually look and behave.
That’s right, Sam Altman (and, presumably, Jony Ive too) expects you to put. whatever OpenAI is preparing on your desk next to your iPhone (or Android handset) and MacBook Pro (or Windows PC) rather than give up on your current gear (for work or fun).
Right off the bat, that makes me skeptical of this product’s chances to achieve mass appeal, especially without any kind of screen in tow. Yes, Altman and Ive reportedly want to « wean users from screens » and at the same time somehow ship 100 million units of.
