Really?

If Apple released OpenAI's voice mode, without calling it "AI," referring to a "GPT" or a "model" -- if it was just integrated into the iPhone with a wake word, that absolutely would satisfy Jobs.

The problem with these companies is that they can't visualize how a product works for non-technical customers any more. Because everyone they know lives and breathes Silicon Valley. They see billboards for vector databases on their commute, so they think it's perfectly normal to name a product "GPT."

A product containing a language model should never, ever be called "AI" or "GPT" or even "Intelligence." 10 years ago, the only people who knew what the term "AI" even was were the nerdy readers of pulp scifi novels. I'm half joking but the whole town of silicon valley needs their glasses smashed and to be shoved into a locker.
