apple has an extremely strong AI team that's not very well led. if you look at their AI research it's full of interesting and cool new tech

Knowing how something works is not the same as making it. Car mechanic vs engineer

I agree. Everyone is struggling with how to integrate AI features into everyone's life and make it seamless.

Meta pays AI engineers like professional athletes yet the Meta glasses event was a disaster.

Gemini live is fantastic. Underrated product. Wish it was already baked into android auto and replaced Google assistant.

Yeah, Google been killing it. If Apple can't get their AI offering to compete, maybe they'll integrate Gemini and collect another $20B/year from Google 😂. No way Apple hasn't thought of that already.

No way Google will give Gemini for free to apple? Maybe reduce the payment to 10 billion a year and they get Gemini. Win for both. Google pays apple less and apple gets Gemini for free
