AI Gadgets and Why Siri Will Destroy Them All
AI gadgets like the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 all capitalize on the one frustration of using a smart phone. It’s something we all experience and it seems like large-language models are the answer, but in the end, a vastly improved Siri coming later this year will destroy them all.

I agree with you the phone will win. But, honestly, Siri on the phone sucks compared to Google on the phone. I wish Apple put a lot more effort into Siri and improving its roughly 50% hit rate for doing what I ask it to do.
Yeah, even my friends that don't have an Android use Google assistant. Siri seems very uhm buggy? From when I've seen them use it, before I told them Google assistant kinda works on iphone
In June Apple will demo the new version of Siri. They've been working on it for years, will be orders of magnitude better. People are not paying attention to several items that foretell the future. An example is the latest SiP on watches are able to do a huge number of Siri tasks on the watch. It turns out that the watch is very often used by power Siri users. This is a huge advantage in privacy and rapid response times. It still will go out to the internet for items that require heavier processing, but off-loading if simple tasks makes the entire system much faster.
@@bruxi78230 Don't get me wrong I'm sure Siri is great but Google has been doing that for years. Just even more so with the Tensor G3. Some things they send out to the Tensor servers like video boost, and some things they do right on the device like voice dictation that they've had since the pixel 6 and AI processing on the device for years beyond that. Samsung is even claiming its LLM Gauss will have even more AI processing on its version of the 8 gen 3. Google Assistant is already at a level that surpasses Siri. Others being Assistant with Bard, Chat GPT 4 turbo, Copilot etc. surpass that. So they're right to say Apple needs to step up Siri. They need more data input to train Siri on without impacting privacy which Apple can do, but to catch up to the amount of data many AI chatbots are constantly being trained on and making Siri equally as good is going to be challenging.
totally agree. Siri is bad at transcription and being an assistant.
Yeah, he seems to be a pretty big Apple fanboi. Google will be incorporating Bard into its Assistant soon. He IS spot on about the faults with these new devices like the R1 though. They're only good for pushing the big boys.
I definitely agree, but my perspective is I'm willing to spend the $200 to get these capabilities now, even if they're imperfect. My iPhone having these capabilities could happen next month or 2 years from now. If they were selling it as a $1000 device, forget it. But for what looks like a premium device with potentially amazing capabilities, I'm all for it and I'm willing to support any company who's creating competition and innovating
premium 💀 looks like a toy you get from a happy meal from McDonald's
Why pay for a second devices (that will require its own data plan) when i already have the free chatGPT app on my iPhone?
What they meant to say is a change in hard ware and look of the device. Apple can’t even say premium anymore because they haven’t changed the look of the iPhone in years now that’s not good at all. Apple is stagnant in design and innovation in their tech.
@61108jay it's a called making a recognizable brand. This has nothing to do with the product being premium or not. this company is just scamming people out of $200 on a cheap device with outdated specs instead of designing an app because it doesn't wanna share profit with apple/Google. What's next ? it's dangerous because now companies will consider developing devices instead of apps if this succeeds which is extremely harmful for the environment to say least.
premium features though @@karimahmed2589
Before leaving the house: Keys, wallet, phone, ai pin, rabbit. Let's go!
You forgot your Bluetooth
Why would anyone want another block in their pocket when we already have a block in our pocket? We carry way too many things with us already. It's too much to track.
because it’s cute? I wish I wouldn’t want it but I do :(
@@takurotim3496 that's a pricey cute one, lmfao
It does look super cool!
Most people won't carry two devices, ever.
Exactly. That’s why I lose my keys a lot. 🤷🏼♂️
The look of the cofounders of the AI pin already tells you that he knows his product will fail.
Another perfect presentation that explains 'things' in great detail more than anyone I have watched regarding this subject. Great job, Stephen. 🙂
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Regarding the rabbit r1, I slightly disagree with your take. I DO agree that as first gen device from a new startup, it will face a multitude of problems. That said, the device is demoing and paving the way for how we will interact with our devices in the coming years. Combining the interpretation of LLM's with the task automation of LAM's could finally allow everyone to have the smartest and most capable personal assistant in their pocket. There will be a need for devices to keep an on-screen keyboard functionality for times when speaking isn't the best option but I think speech will be the main way we interact with our devices in the coming years. I'll be interested to see Silicon Valley's version of what the rabbit is demoing.
When I'm at work I won't want to talk to a device, disrupting the silence my colleagues need. And at home, with my child playing around, I'll have a noisy environment, and talking and hearing the answer will also not be ideal. In the car or when I'm alone, sure.
But wouldn't that be Siri, with an LLM behind it? The phone would have a better camera than the rabbit, as well as a competitive microphone for input. I hear what you're sayin', though! I imagine that phone makers will implement their LLM's in their voice assistants in the near-term (on their "to do" lists). Apple has a frustrating history of releasing consumer desired features late in the game, but they eventually do. The strategic marketing play is likely to follow "..let's let the market heat up about LLM assistants, and how revolutionary they are, and how exciting AI is, etc, etc..." Then BAM iOS 20 - Siri is now an encrypted AI voice assistant... all in your iPhone or Watch." It also has the effect of allaying public ire with respect to monopolistic Apple/Samsung swooping in and destroying an innovative new market space immediately, but rather sweetening up the public to say "Hey!! Apple finally has added a feature that we've all wanted for sooooooooooo long... A really good AI version of Siri - Thanks Tim Apple!" err whatever... Markets tend to look better with diverse players and new ideas. If you're a megacompany like Apple, it may be better to see what great engineering/features are out there before determining a make/buy decision. In a sense these new players could viewed as commodities to tech giants... the Massimo situation is a poorly executed, but GREAT example of this type of strategic market play.
@@e.b.1279 Totally agree! I do think its an obvious play for big tech to integrate their existing voice assistants with the concept of automation powered by LLM's and LAM's. I'm pretty stoked for how things progress over the new few years.
Thank goodness for new options 😅. I've been bored of my "smart phone" for years. This same format and layout for our so called "smart" devices is stale drab & down right boring 😴. Smart phones gotta go. Or would you rather stay with your neck bent down staring at a little screen forever???
@@e.b.1279no it s not. The important aspect that is forgotten, is the LAM model. And that is pretty cool. I checked out an interview where the process was explained how LAMs are trained. You basically watch people use their phone to do all the things you would normally do and the video is then used to see where you tap on the screen, what you do etc. That’s how the model was apparently trained for a long time. And that is the reason why you won’t be able to get the same functionality with an iPhone or android phone yet. It might take a year or two before Apple and Google catch up to that. You can already check out the capabilities of these agent models but based on llms e.g. multion. So this definitely different even though the expectation on the surface is the same as if Siri would be a „real“ ai assistant.
I think there is a niche for the rabbit, as they said its not meant to replace your phone. Personally i may order one soon. I spend too much time on my phone and get easily distracted, i think that the rabbit could help with that by offering a more minimal approach while still having a lot of the same capabilities. I would prefer they have an all in one device with a bit more fleshed out UI but hopefully in the future they will have some interesting options
This is the point of the Humane and Rabbit. They are bring us back to our old selves, with the technology of today.
I thought the same you can't consume much social media, where my most free time is going to, i think it's more as they said "a walkietalkie" like a real person doing the tasks for you.
I will say that if Apple doesn't improve Siri in the next year in a significant way, I will consider moving to a different type of phone in the future, and I've been using an iphone for the last decade.
siri is essentially junk at this point. Apple will upgrade it though, just like Amazon will upgrade Alexa.
It’s coming in Sept with iOS 18.
@@unewb fingers crossed! Definitely the very top of my wishlist.
If you are familiar with Apple, then you know they will wait until they find a way to integrate it their own way. It can take a while because they are claiming privacy for users. I think this is the challenge for them. AI is all but privacy at this point with devices knowing where you are and what you are doing at every moment.
Alexa and Google Assistant are leaps and bounds better than Siri. I say try a switch for a year. The integration with home devices is nice.
4:40 But Rabbit is not trying to replace your phone. It's a companion as they said.
So is your phone… is there an extra pocket in your pants you are trying to fill?
@@jhdesigner there indeed are 2 pockets in my pants but I also agree this should be an app. But his idea that it's trying to replace the phone is wrong.
Siri is SO bad. I use Google Assistant and Siri and Siri still cannot do basic things 9/10. The iPhone speech to text (even in the new version of iOS) is so much worse than Google's.
Google (and Alexa) is definitely beating Siri right now. But all the rumors point to something big this year with Apple and AI
Haven't apple marketed their stuff as ai for ages at this point. What's their silly name for the machine learning core??? Apple neural engine??? They would need better chips to do it properly. Software is beyond outdated too. What I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up. Ai is just a marketing term at this point. Especially on apple stuff
@@beardfm NPU since M1??? what happened? even IOS still lack subtle features if compared to android? Nah Apple not going anywhere... TIm need to remove his inflatable ego then I wll see Apple stay competitive again
Well explained,, thank you!
I pre-ordered a Rabbit R1 to try out for potential use by a tech-averse elderly. Not sure if it will fit the use case but it's a very simple interface for basic things. If they could just use it to check the weather or look something up they want to know without using the "correct" dictation, it would be worth it for the cost.
Please let me know how this goes, I'm looking at the same for a blind person.
I must’ve tap 40 times with those best devices, but they weren’t there. All jokes aside I agree the phones not going anywhere soon I just had that discussion with a friend the other day. Great channel. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it!
me encanta tu podcast Stephen! and yet still got time to make another video so quickly . bravo, good sir! hope one day I can get some of these toys :)
Thanks for listening!! Glad you’re enjoying the show, and thanks for watching here too 🙂
I think you’re spot on. What these gadgets will do, is force the smartphone market to up their games. I looked at the Rabbit, but it can’t do credit card payments, and I like my smartphone screen size. The Rabbit would have a niche market, maybe in some disability sector or for kids, or for the aged, but smartphones are here to stay for the time being.
Hey there Stephen ,, just wanted you to know that I am so happy to have become a new subscriber. You nailed it in this video for sure, keep them coming!
Awesome, thank you for saying so and welcome to the channel!
Completely agree with you! Everyone loves beautiful high resolution screens, and it will be hard for any other products to replace it.
Stephen, I subscribed because of your ability to nail a topic with a great explanation. I turned Siri off because of the frustrations you talk about. The last straw for me was Siri always butting into a random conversation when I hadn’t said anything close to “hey Siri!. I (actually) had Siri admonish me when I had been teasing my 21 year old son about something he was wearing…”that’s not very kind, you should be more thoughtful!” I kid you not, he asked what I thought about a new shirt he was wearing. Good luck, look forward to more great content.
thanks for subscribing, and the false activations are a pain point too! Here's hoping for a big difference in the next version of Siri.
Agreed! There's nothing holding Apple back. Although they talked about the Knowledge Navigator in the 1980s, Apple never delivered. Now, we have the ChatGPT user-developed Shortcut, and the ChaptGPT App for the iPhone. The scaffolding is in place waiting for Apple to Think Different...
Truly hoping to see something big at WWDC in June!
I'm actually hoping for a change in direction, the mega companies just gobble up everything. Would be so cool to see a startup become the new gravity. Even if unlikely, as people are so loyal and hare such a hard time changing habits.
Some of these “boutique” tech companies actually want to be gobbled up. They see a niche that the big boys aren’t addressing and jump in, come up with a neat solution snd then actively look to have their tech absorbed by the big guys for many millions of $. They may be happy with that and move on to a life of ease - or start work on the next boutique fix. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. It is of course not at great thing when the big boys charge mega bucks and din’t deliver value. I think Apple delivers great Value. I purchased my iPhone 11 Pro Max in Sept 2019 for $1,500 and amortized over 4.25 years it has only cost me $353 a year. It still works and always has worked perfectly and is still supported by Apple. I feel like that’s great value.
How about an assistant that is not fuckin spying on you every second of your fuckin life?
Great perspective!
Hey Stephen, I totally agree with you and thought that before purchasing the Rabbit R1. I was curious about the R1, the price was not too bad hence that is why I am giving it a try. Once the phones AI catches up then probably just use for example the R1 when at home (if I like it), and or give it to a family member to use.
They are patenting the absolute shit out of their large action model
The fact that Apple and Google have to play catch up is WILD and kinda shows the state of the industry we are in
Brilliant succinct criticism. Bravo sir.
but that damn apple watch is too expensive compared to the Rabbit R1. I think the best part of this device is the price too. Also, I think Apple would let you pay a huge amount of money just for that new technology and a paid subscription for sure. Then Microsoft Copilot is very limited actually compared to ChatGPT. And we don't have to forget that Rabbit R1 is based on a LAM and not a LLM so it can't absolutely be compared to all the other "smart" assistant, it's another type of AI and it's surely more useful. Last thing is that in my opinion it would be nice to have a single type of AI Gadget because I don't even want to imagine how messy it would be if eveyone makes their own AI. This seems very universal
hello over there, I love your videos, keep doing it!
Thank you! Will do!
Agreed! "I'd like to know if my AI was hallucinating or not"! 😵🤪😁
Great video, subscribed☺
Awesome, thank you!
You are making a lot of valid points in this video
Great analysis.
I don't think Apple would create a large action model for Siri as an R1 rabbit device because it defeats the purpose of a smartphone with an expensive touchscreen and an AppStore. If Apple implements that for Siri, people won't even click on any app because these action models give output directly to the user after actions are done in the background. Think about the implications for the app store and its developers, especially UI designers who are going to be pissed. So, Apple won't do it because it devalues the value of having a smartphone. The only issue with the Rabbit R1 is its lack of a high-quality display and quality camera. Since taking photos and viewing videos are the most common activities people use their smartphones for, especially for entertainment purposes, if they could integrate these features into the device, it would be a strong threat to apple.
You nailed it.
Appreciate that 🙏🏻
Apple will never allow you to train Siri to do custom things on your devices. It will never replace the R1.
Nice vid mate ✌️
the fact siri is still this bad is actually mind blowing
You make good points. I think that it would be nice to have a standalone voice assistant like rabbit for my parents though lol. It would be easier to use and work everywhere. My mom’s phone is always dead and she drags her iPad everywhere and needs help figuring stuff out. I think if there was an option for a rabbit device that was friendly and perfect with voice requests, it would help eliminate the confusion for older folks.
Honestly… I kinda forgot Siri existed for almost half a decade until this video lol
I watched the R1 video. Had some thoughts. Then I viewed your video and thought, “Yup! Exactly what I thought.” Gracias for review, Stephen. Much appreciated.
This was the perfect take.
No it wasnt
Great video as always Stephen
Appreciate that 🙏🏼
Great, intelligent points made. You're a KZheadr who genuinely knows what he's talking about and it shows in your arguments.
Appreciate that 🙏🏻
Wow you are one of the more intelligent tech analysts on KZhead, and becoming my favorite one recently. Your 8 minute video actually has substance unlike most others who just have fillers.
Really appreciate that 🙏🏻 trying to provide informative content!
Yeah, you hit a lot of points. I too would like to see the confirmation screen before I go forward with a purchase. I also have trouble with my smart speakers and my phone all android based to get it to play me something. 😅 For me, it all became a fad quickly.
I don’t disagree, but when it comes to the Rabbit R1, I do see how it can do things that Siri just never will be able to. I’m seriously thinking about getting it to help with my work. It could listen to my meetings, take notes, summarize, pull out, action items…. That in and of itself could be indispensable. The learning ability also looks like it would be insanely invaluable when it comes to doing things, maybe like editing a video. It could watch me edit a video, and then teach itself how to do it for me and my style? or even if it just creates macros being able to watch and learn the clicks and save me time creating those. For $199, if it truly does those things, then shut up and take my money!!!!
One of the very few thought out responses I seen here. Also if it can do these things it could also add circuits to an electrical design, produce the scamatics, make comments on a design and send the updated design out for reviews and approval. Any project manager that see its capabilities will know 1000 real world tasks this technology could execute.
You are severely overestimating what this LAM actually learns and can do. It learns through ovservation how you use a web application. As in it records what buttons you press, where you type text etc. The end result of this is basically a bot user for the website. That can repeat those exact same steps but replace the text with new ones. For instance if you learned it how to play a song, you could change the example song you used with a new one, and it would enter that text instead. It creates a macro that you activate with voice. So what could it realistically do for you in terms of video editing? Lets say you have a web based video editor, and you need to upload a video file, and convert it to a different format, then download the resulting video. Well this would reasonably be possible, just change the example video with a new on you provide. But learning how videos are edited in your style? It is not what this tech is meant to do. At best it could replicate all the exact edits you make to one video, and then do those exact edits again on another, but that is not how editing videos works sadly.
Stephen, you mentioned it. I have a Super Siri which a shortcut created to use Siri to use Chat GPT for its answer and speak the text Chat GPT gets.
Nice automation!
How??
You nailed it, I really don't understand why the developers think you wouldn't need input by hand also, it's not black and white it's a combination of voice and tiping
"Compare that to the precise incantations you need to save" - nailed it, Stephen .............................
Main selling point for me is the office space integration. Automating daily tasks by teaching the Ai to perform them. Ideally id want the same Ai performance for LAM on my phone but the straightforward functionality of the rabbit r1 device itself is what makes it so appealing to me as a separate device.
I agree that an AI assistant that helps build automations would be awesome! 6:34
Ford Sync 2 blew me away in 2013 because it was simple and it worked: using voice commands to phone people as well as select music tracks to play while I cruise on LA freeways. - no GPT. Why so called 'smart phones' aren't completely LLM controlled is beyond me. I hate smart phones with a passion.
bruh. thats some good points
I agree generally but you must consider this is the first model of the Rabbit device, (remember the first iPhone) who says in a near future it cannot also download the parking app in situ? In the end it's about being a bridge and act as your fingers via voice. For an extremely lazy person like me, this is amazing. Also, for older people, who don't know how to do certain things with their phones, and at that price, I think it can be a great present. My questions would be how much more than Siri it can really do at the present moment. I watched some videos and I kept asking myself: Ok, but can I tell him to go to do more specific things? Can I tell him to go to my mail and erase all emails from a specific sender. Or can I text the uber driver and get their responses? Or make a playlist for a party with my suggestions and it playing a bit of its suggestions based on mine? I guess the question would be: How close to the AI in HER, the movie, is this? Because that is where we are going ultimately. And in that sense, the teaching mode is very interesting. As a gadget freak, I'm really fascinated to see it's already happening. I've been wondering for years how come Siri hasn't evolved at all in so many years. Apple should have led this path. Either they've been lazy or they are doing it secretly and don't wanna release it until it's WOW. But remember it's Apple, so it might come with silly restrictions and subscriptions.
I agree.. I just watch the introductory video for Rabbit.. It seems cool, but that's a lot of trust to give one device. Plus the interface is really small. seems like they took a step backwards with that one..
Fully agree.
Hmmm I think pressing a button is 1000x better than openly saying "Bidet clean my ass"
Stephen how do you see Unity Software playing in Apple's A.I. vision? I know they are part of Unity Pro initiative but you see anything beyond this? Thanks
Having a device you can talk to/with is cool - as long as you don't do it in public. It makes me feel like one of those annoying people having a loud conversation on their phone.
True. I’m still excited to try the ai pin
R1 could use API for other apps to interface and interact with it. The R1 has a screen, which can easily allow their users to log in or add new services on the device without using the web portal. We will watch the device mature to replace our phones. Assistant first > phone things second. 6:58 Jesse says that the main reason for R1 screen is to confirm some certain actions. The confirmation part is covered Apple watch doesn't have a camera for video calls, video recording, and taking pictures like.
Thanks. Great and useful review. Much better than CNET’s
Glad it was helpful!
hey siri. "suk mi kok !"...."I agree. Chicken is tasty"
I currently use PI for an ai assistant and it's crazy good and accurate. Unfortunately its got limitations such as not being able to sync up with a calendar or set an alarm, but otherwise is extremely helpful in helping me manage my schedule and to-do lists. I think Rabbit is going to surprise everyone. Its not a phone replacement, its an EXTENSION. It'll have some bugs and some trial and error for sure, but its going to ultimately be something that has useful application....I can easily see using it as an aid to music creation and also for work generating reports and large datasets. All I want is an accurate and CURRENT (not old ass ChatGPT from 2020) AI assistant that i can use to make my workflow easier, more organized and more structured. Rabbit checks those boxes. Haters gonna hate! I bet if it had a fruit logo on it those fanboys would be camped out to pay $1500 for it......
I agree. Which is why I think this year's iPhone 16's are about to be insane. Especially the integration with Apple's Vision Pro. 🤯😁
You think so? They haven't really done anything with the last 3 generations. And it's not like the new software won't run on the older phones. And obviously apples vr headset will work with pretty much all iphones that aren't too old. I've yet to find a reason why the vision pro is a good headset though but that's besides the point.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 🤭 You sound like you've been crying. Unfortunately, that isn't besides the point.😆🤦♂
The pro vision is 3K $ product…
Damn that’s a powerful video and I need to go cancel my Rabbit R1?
Great video! do you think Apple Vision could be the trigger to force Apple build an efficient assistant or AI model?
Thank you! Really not sure, once I try the Vision Pro next month I'm curious to see how Siri works in AR/VR. But it's clear Apple needs to do *something* at WWDC in June
@@beardfm Agreed. Specially after all the AI features the Pixel/Google is offering!
I highly doubt apple will pick siri out of the graveyard. Vision pro will ve gesture and eye controlled along with maybe using your phone as a remote if the gestures tend to bug out? I doubt they will remake it, at most just implement it as it is on the iPhones rn
I like your take. It's definitely very hard to come up with a device that could replace the smartphone. It reached this status by increasing its ease of use and its power, not by stripping features away.
spot on.
So true!
Good 1. Changed my opinion on ai gadgets
If rabbit made the R1 keychain size it would be sooooo convenient.
Back in 1995, Apple introduced a Mac that could take voice directions. I was one of several in the office that was given this new machines. A coworker was showing off the voice control to management. At one point, I stuck my head in the room said, "Computer Shut Down." At which point the Mac did as I requested and said "Okay!", then shut down. The voice controls have been 'decent' for nearly 3 decades, but they haven't caught on. It's socially awkward in a group setting like an office to talk to the computer. It's better manners to silently type or click the request. This is my opinion, but it feels like the 'flaw' is using voice. Today I saw someone on the street yelling, like she was yelling at another person. I hope she was on the hands-free phone, but it was very much bizarre to watch. A day earlier, a car rolled up next me, rolled their window and started talked. There was no one else in the car. The light turned green and she drove away. Up to that moment, I thought she was asking me a question.
Probably. But Siri has been stuck in the past for years with zero innovation made.
I was going to buy the rabbit, but then I was thinking I'll just wait six months for my phone to gain those features.
6 months? i would gamble a couple of years, a year min and btw because they can make money you'll need to buy a new phone with those future features, i doubt it will be some upgrade when they can make more money selling it in a newer phone
I like the space here
rabbit r1 feels science fiction, to have a WHOLE POWERED computer in our pockets ITS really utopic, maybe when we experience silicon shortages, ai and cloud based devices be the ones to use, and smartphones a luxury
All recent Apple silicon is already able to run local LLMs. The neural engine in all M series and recent A series chips are capable of some really complex tasks.
Rabbit R1 doesn't run a local LLM.
@@PeterKoperdan Then it has no chance of continuing to exist once their "LAM" idea is copied by Apple, Google, or both. Apple's ANE is getting really good, and instead of building up their servers or renting AI Inferencing from a third party, their devices will be capable of doing most of the light and medium inferencing. Rabbit R1 is a great idea, but they are positioned for a buyout by a larger tech company, not to be a replacement.
@@victorc777 I thought apple cared about privacy? Also the point of a r1 is to not be on the phone screen so much, the point of a smartphone like an iPhone is to be on the phone screen. The LAM in Siri doesn't seem all that great, and with the apple watch you still have to download individual apps and open them, the point of the r1 is so you don't have to download so many apps. R1 also has price advantage, of Siri updates to an LAM your phone will cost as much as a computer, just buy a computer then.
@@_VISION. Valid but short sighted points. Want less time on your phone, then give it up. Nobody is twisting your arm. The point of a phone now is to communicate via talk, text, and video, consume media, read, write, dictate, navigate, process, etc, etc. The R1 is a toy with limited functions baked right in to the product. The smart phone can AND WILL be as good or better than any device meant to limit you under the guise of "cool and futuristic" AI that promises the user they will be better off. Truth is, we won't, because it will inherently limit choice and obfuscate reality.
@@victorc777 your opinion is short sighted, obviously people want the mechanism without having to be on the device as much. I still want Uber, but I don't want to be on the phone as much. Giving up the mechanism associated with a device like this is unrealistic in this world lol you're a joke
The cost, privacy and possibilities of the Rabbit R1 are already much better that what's on a phone. Your argument is based on what a phone can do, not what it currently does.
Siri would still be missing the LAM.
Too much of an apple fanboi for my liking tbh. Apple should be pushing the envelope not chasing the pack, also i think your misunderstanding the LAM, the idea from what i took was that it was like a library of interactions with the apps that are available. so as the LAM grows it includes ways to interact with apps you may not already have. I think the goal in the end it to be able to ask for something to happen and the LAM would be able to say use your Google account to sign up to an app that you need and use it for you, so if you went to a country that doesn't use Uber, it could automatically download and sign up to a local cab app then order you a cab. Same request by you, same outcome, but Rabbit did all the leg work. (Long term thinking)
I see the chance that products like Rabbit R1 and its SW solutions will be just acquired by companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft. Similar thing happened for Fitbit for example.
I am really fasciated to know that mediatek is powering this ai. I think this one has a much better future.
The AI created hand holding the device was a nice touch.
Bro you are so right… I have been saying this 😂
I’m not sure that the pin or the rabbit will necessarily fail. I think there is a healthy appetite for more hands-free lifestyles. I also think that low-key, the glasses could give you a little bit of everything with eye tracking eventually. Most likely people will have a combination of a phone and glasses or pin or watch, and will accessorize based on our personal preferences.
But still it can be good to have these standalone devices that are separate from your phone to be not so distracted from e.g. social media apps and notifications like while you are working.
Tell me more about the voice powered bidet
Dedicated video coming up
Let me know if you need a guest tester.
I remember when Apple was talking about App Clips and how you won’t have a to download a new app to pay for parking for example. I hope that Siri and app clips will improve so there’s less need for app switching.
I *have* used app clips to pay for gas a number of times and it was pretty convenient!
100% Agreed!!
a lot of good points. not leaving my iphone for any of these new things
Wonder if I can use it for work
I think you’re spot on about all this but there’s one key element I can’t help but think about and that’s the regulations and restrictions being put on ai. We can safely say that Rabbit R1 doesn’t use GPT so there’s a good chance I can have it help me in ways GPT can’t and despite me having the Rabbit R1 on pre order there’s noway I would ever stop using GPT anyways. It’s part of my daily life and work now. But the companion piece until Apple does it better and more efficient which I’m sure they will dropping $200 for now really isn’t so bad to increase productivity in the mean time. I say it’s worth it because of it’s affordable
The only way I can see this working out is if they had a clip to that so people can put it on their backpack straps or on their belts. Either way it's another product to worry about
The Humane AI pin seemed half thought out when it was unveiled and it looks so much worse now next to something like the Rabbit R1
I’ll give you that, Rabbit R1 has a better chance
Siri been there for a long time, but still not able to do what Rabbit R1 claims it can do. the point of this device is that one day you don't need your smartphone anymore, as you can project video images on any screen that you walk by or get in your hands, or just make phone calls through an earpiece, its the ultimate internet of everything device.
We’re not there yet lmao
I eant to get away from screens and be more presents so i love the pin
Sounds silly but I think the Humane AI pin should market specifically as an alternative to phone screens. Been wanting to get a dumb phone. This works for that. I can stay away from screens all day.
I’m curious how viable it is! Pre-ordered mine as soon as they were available. Hopefully they ship in March as planned.
The thing that bothered me the most about the R1 was in the demos, he had executed actions that, in real life it in an app, would require follow up questions from any same human this AI is prospectively taking the place of. Ordering a pizza from Dominos? He told it the size and while it proceeded with the size, it used the default options to finalize. It didn't know enough to ask if the user wanted to change anything or even ask if maybe they'd like to explore the options. If you have to include specifics, it's literally no better then Siri. This thing is supposed to release in about 2 months and its seemingly no more powerful than a traditional voice assistant.
You literally Hit it on the head !! I was not impress when they announced them. SO yeah man you are 10000000000% right PHONE IS KING
I think it's very true what you say I know I'm not a tech. However I feel these devices more the rabbit than the pin have a place in the ecosystem maybe for older people or ones that are in someway unable to use a screen or learn new tech. Where a carer or a parent can set up various apps for the use and to enable them to be more independent.
100%. At this point it’s very low hanging fruit. I think the competition from these devices is great for keeping Google & Apple fresh. We are always striving to make the ultimate interface. AI holds so much promise. Everyone talks about how great it would be to ask it educational type questions. What I really want is for the settings app to be redundant. ‘Hey Siri… stop all notifications from Etsy.’ Or… ‘Reset the wifi’ ‘Enlarge the font’ ‘Clear browser history’ Basic stuff like this is what trips up the average user. How do I do that? Becomes, just do it. Essentially Siri needs to evolve to a point where my mom isn’t mystified by why her device is no longer working. She can just ask it. That’s the real promise of an AI assistant.
I could see this form factor being nice for older folks who shy away from using a smartphone phone for various reasons. The apple watch might be good for them, if it had access to a LLM too....
