I wish an AI operating system was just a bunch of microscopic AI models that only load when needed and run on device and have a genuine assistive purpose, instead of "Oh, HahA leTs maKe The comPuTer ContrOL iTsElf aNd tELL UsEr FalSe InFormAtioN"

Genuinely what I wished for when the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 was announced as "The First AI Phone".
Instead what was shown in the livestream was literally Gemini, a product of another company on a €2000 smartphone that doesn't even use the hardware you pay for.
I am puzzled by that sweater he is wearing. Did he go to the douchebag section of the store?

I mean he can fane that he doesn't understand but he must. No matter how technically impressive the technology is, it's only as good as it's application.
Most people are familiar with the concept of an LLM. Most progress has been iterative.
I mean yes, but also no. I get the point and it's a good one, but sounds a bit like people just shouldn't complain because 200 years ago refrigerators didn't exist.
So, there was this TV experiment where they served soup to a well-known scientist*, but, with his agreement, they stirred it first with an unused - and I stress unused - toilet brush.
He couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Metaphorically speaking, our world is full of amazing things but they're all stirred by clean toilet brushes. Sometimes, it's worse than that and they're used.
Do not want.
* Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, he was later cancelled for being old and out of touch on women's issues among other things, which is kind of an example of this same trope when you think about it. His opinions and reactions on soup and food disgust aren't linked to any of that but you might be tempted to ignore the result because of it.
But then, that puts him in the same category as Louis CK and that's what I'm responding to. Food for thought.
