I'm surprised by the almost universally bearish opinion here so far. AI is going to change everything about how we interact with computers. A M4 with a terabyte of RAM will run GPT-4 level models locally. Forget Siri. You will be able to converse directly with your computer as if it was a person. Not only in text, but by voice and even video, and it will be incredibly responsive. The computer will see using the webcam and have conversations about objects you show it. It will read your screen and give you advice about what you're working on, and even perform tasks for you. It will browse the web for you, summarize content, and take actions on your behalf. It will create images of anything you describe, and compose personalized music in any style. It will render an avatar for itself and show emotions, and it will see and react to your facial expressions and gestures.
This is not speculative. Almost all of this stuff is already shown to work, and it is all improving incredibly quickly as we speak! It just needs to be assembled into an actual product, which is exactly what Apple does best. With their silicon advantage they are best positioned to ship these kinds of features, and the best part is it can all run offline locally. No data sent to servers. No privacy concerns. Zero network latency.
