My personal choice is: "Nooop"

And I really, really hope #Apple will leave this out 🙏 An "AI iPhone" is really not an option :no:

At that point it's back to the Nokia 3210 😀

@stux AI makes everything better, they say.

I doubt it but I think we can not hide from it in the future ...

@AndyGER But we can try :blobcatgiggle: 💪

@RandomDamage @AndyGER I still got one! 💪

A little slow but it's something!

@RandomDamage @stux There are solutions for almost everybody out there. But the masses prefer an easy to use device that fulfils their needs. No matter what.

That's why #meta is still successful ...

@AndyGER @stux people are naturally horrible at risk analysis, and everything is rigged to keep us too busy to try

@RandomDamage @stux This is why law must protect them better.

An example: #EU law vs. social media and IT-companies ...

@AndyGER @stux the EU seems to be moving in the right direction at least

@AndyGER @RandomDamage perhaps! I’m still kinda happy I live in the EU if it comes to tech :ed_grin:

Don’t fck with the EU or they’ll find out :apple_inc: :google:

@stux I asked someone something similar a few days ago.

What point is too far and we really do push back into the flip phone?
Can we even do that anymore? Are the networks still viable?

Verizon a long time ago, forced me into a smart phone. They said it was a requirement because of tower coverage. This was a hundred years ago back into the iPhone 2 or 4 at least. Probably 10yrs or more?

I use my smart phone like crazy but with the amount of overreach that is constantly happening from every avenue - I certainly don't know how much longer I can justify it.

@stux that new Nokia 3210 released last week looks ok as feature phones go. At least it isn't some KaiOS thing with WhatsApp baked in but it does come with Facebook baked in...

@stux my iPhone can detect different people in the photos app, so some kind of machine learning has to exist

@stux as long as it’s on device then I don’t mind it.

@stux Exactly - who the hell wants a four year old taking over their phone.
That said AI will wreak havoc in the workplace. Social welfare states like the Nordic countries will cope. The Unregulated Free for All countries will flounder. The opioid crisis is going to look tame by comparison.
