“Call Jenny”
GPT: calling 8675309
No, call Jenny in my contacts.
GPT: oh sorry, you don’t have Jenny contacts in your contacts.
Ugh 😩
“just call Jenny! Jenny! Come on! I call Jenny every day, you just called her yesterday!”
" that’s not how we do things, Retro_unlimited…"
(sigh) “you are an expert phone assistant, you will use your contacts tool to look up Jenny. J-e-n-n-y. Then you will use your phone tool to dial her number. DO NOT talk to Jenny. You are FORBIDDEN to try and sell her a $2000/month ChatGPT Elite Pro plus subscription again. Just dial and let me do the talking.”
[Reasoning] [Opening contacts] [Reasoning some more]
“Sorry, you hit your token limit for this month. Do you want to move to the Elite Pro Plus plan now for only $1999.99?”
OpenAI making this phone=> could
Chances of me buying it=> won’t
Strong FB dedicated phone button vibes.
I’d rather have a phone that does what I want it to do.
Just like every other AI application they’ve come up with for end users, I cannot fathom how the AI aspect would be preferable to purpose-made code that does one thing without having to “think” about it.
How does the introduction of an “agent” who “might make mistakes” improve my user experience with… Literally anything?
“Hey, Jippity. Send a message to Chris”
Thinking: The user wants me to call Kris. But I don’t see anyone named Kris in the contacts. Maybe the contacts are corrupted. I should try to fix it.
Wait, it would be easier to recreate the contacts. So I’ll just delete all of them and let the user know.
Command: rm -rf ~/.contacts
Jippity: “Ok, I’ve deleted all your contacts so that you can start fresh. Go ahead and enter the number for Kris!”
omg fuck off
Sure, go for it. Throw everything at the wall, see what sticks. I personally don’t need an alarm that is only is right some of the time and apologizes when it wakes me up an hour late, but to each their own.
Sorry boss, my AI alarm clock hallucinated the time zone, then my AI car drove through a construction zone, then the AI badge reader to get into the building forgot how to unlock the door
But imagine if you could just like, ask your phone to set an alarm! And then it would do it!
… what do you mean we’ve already had that tech for a decade?
Maybe I shouldn’t get up and go to work today…
You are so right about that. You deserve a day off. Let me forge a doctor’s note and send it to your boss.
^This will happen exactly one time.
By offering the phone itself, the company could gain access to more data about users’ habits than an app on the phone could.
Oh, well then. That’s obviously why people buy phones.
Trying to out Google the Google with this one.
Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?
Now where have we seen this before?
But you already said “Android”…
Pass
that’s gonna be a very very expensive phone
Who doesn’t like their phone charging them by the word?
Hahahahahahaha what a fucking terrible idea, holy shit. Beside sam altman, who the fuck would use this?
He probably won’t use it himself. The tech bros pushing all these things don’t partake on their own supply in their personal lives because they know how dumb or dangerous it is.

everyone knows, data harvesting
But it’s going to be amazing! Incredible capabilities are just 6-12 months away!
Why all these products and implementations and spending can’t wait for those capabilities to be real is beyond me.

I do not understand the Luddite view of ai. It is a tool. You can use a hammer to smash your finger or frame out a house. You can upgrade to an air nailer and work faster.
If people are too stupid to see what it is, they are going to just get left behind. When y’all old and whining how you don’t understand how the world works and you’re scared, this is why. It was a choice.
Not a single better idea in the tech industry.
most of them have betted on AI, not so much on innovation anymore.
Good. Waste that money.
