I love how ridiculous the scene to showcase Apple's Intelligence ability to tell you what bread the dog was.
Instead of simply asking a women what breed her dog was - he had to open a camera app on his iPhone, ask a women a permission to take a photo of the dog, wait until the AI gives him an answer...
These MBA-approved use cases for AI feel like the Futurama parody of The Twilight Zone.
The one from Google the AI a man was using to raise his child convinced him to use Gemini to write an admiration letter to an athlete wouldn't look out of place in the series.
It's weird how they pick unrealistic use cases when there are real ones. Last week I saw a nice plant and wanted to buy the same one, so I used Google's image recognition feature.
Agreed. Normally Apple finds genuine uses of their features they’re intending to market. The guy ended up talking to the person with the dog after, which made the use of the AI a bit of a miss.
It honestly felt like Apple didn’t do that scene because normally everything is well thought out.
Its so sad how much Siri has degraded even since this commercial; and then Apple Intelligence comes along re-selling a ton of the stuff Siri used to be able to just do.
- "Is that rain?" pulls up a weather widget, but Siri doesn't say anything about it (the correct answer for me right now would be the response "No")
- "Let's get soup delivered" does a google search for literally "let's get soup delivered" with no vocal response.
