I mean\u2026 right?<\/p>\n<p>At least the first one?<\/p>\n<p>No?<\/p>\n<p>Now, you may be wondering, where\u2019s Apple\u2019s AI chatbot thing I can totally talk to and it\u2019ll be my one true friend and then EVERYONE WILL SEE, OH, YES, THEY WILL.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, too much, Kevin. Dial it back a little. We talked about this. Second, the primary hook for these latest technologies is search and Apple isn\u2019t a search company. At least not ostensibly and at least not yet.<\/p>\n<p>The Macalope says \u201costensibly\u201d because whether or not Apple is a \u201csearch company\u201d, people rely on its products for search results. When the Macalope asks Siri for places nearby where ungulates like to mingle, he doesn\u2019t know which company\u2019s search engine Apple sends that query to, he just knows that Siri responded \u201cI\u2019m having trouble connecting right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s it, then. Apple <em>is<\/em> behind because it needs to provide advanced search results and both Microsoft and Google have (or will have soon) conversational search capabilities that Apple does not have! It\u2019s game over again in the game that never ends!<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/macalope-2021.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1200\" alt=\"Macalope\"  width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" ><\/figure>\n<p>IDG<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Well, hang on a second.<\/p>\n<p>, Apple was \u201cleading the AI arms race\u201d in terms of acquisitions. And it\u2019s gone on to acquire several AI companies since then. Have those acquisitions amounted to anything? Hard to say because Apple tends to hold things closer to the vest than other companies.<\/p>\n<p>Before you worry too much about Apple being late to this game, though, so far it seems like it\u2019s turning out just like every other time we\u2019ve been told Apple\u2019s been late to something, from netbooks to foldable phones to self-driving cars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Whoopsies. Yes, it turns out that Bard mistakenly answered that the James Webb Space Telescope was the first telescope to take a picture of a planet outside our solar system when in fact it was the European Very Large Telescope (the Macalope knows that sounds like a fake name but he assures you it\u2019s not) way back in 2004. That wouldn\u2019t be so bad except it was featured in an ad touting how super awesome Bard is.<\/p>\n<p>The Macalope is not an advertising executive but he has to believe that\u2019s not ideal, even though not that many people are experts on space telescopes.<\/p>\n<p>The Macalope is, of course, but perhaps not\u2026 uh, you people.<\/p>\n<p>Well, at least everything\u2019s going fine with Bing, right?<\/p>\n<p>Ha. Ha. Haaaaaaaaaaaa.<\/p>\n<p>While Bard is simply misinformed, Bing\u2019s shiny new AI is misinformed <em>and<\/em> rude! According to   on Reddit, Bing not only gets answers wrong, it becomes incensed when challenged on the accuracy of its false statements, such as when it .<\/p>\n<p> that when Bing gets things wrong, you can click on a \u201cdislike\u201d button. As if arguing with an AI over what year it is isn\u2019t dystopian enough, now your only recourse is to \u201cdislike\u201d the wrong answer rather than point out it\u2019s simply flat-out wrong.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u2026According to a Bing engineer I spoke to at Microsoft\u2019s Redmond headquarters, dislikes are currently being routed to engineers\u2019 inboxes to fix inaccuracies and improve Microsoft\u2019s model. That\u2019s not a feedback loop that can scale over time\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, even Bing gets enough search requests on a daily basis that having humans clean up a robot\u2019s mess is not scalable. Clearly what Microsoft needs to do is have another AI answer the \u201cdislikes\u201d and then talk to Bing about them and the two of them can get into an argument until the heat death of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>Problem solved.<\/p>\n<p>The horny one has a sneaking suspicion that the real solution to the problems companies find in their AIs is going to be to fix the obvious problems but still ship them in a slightly broken state, because if a few people get the wrong answer like how many kidneys they need to survive or whether or not storming a government building can get you out of paying your taxes, well, oopsie doopsies, gotta move fast and break things.<\/p>\n<p>They did that with netbooks, they did that with foldable phones, they did that with self-driving cars. AI will be no different.<\/p>\n<p>Will these technologies get better over time? Of course. But if Apple stays out of this arena for a while and is even a little \u201cbehind\u201d, that might not be such a bad thing after all.<\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/author\/the-macalope\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: The Macalope<\/a> \t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/author_photo_The-Macalope_1616006391-2.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=150&#038;h=150&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a mythical beast, the Macalope is not an employee of Macworld.
