Whoops, sorry for triggering Siri on all your devices out there. Seems like it's at least good at listening when you don't want it to 😅
😂😂😂😂
Good reporting.
You got mine 😂
Just call it "Silly" in future. It's more accurate and there will be no triggers.
I went to comment section to complain about this. 😂
I remember when Siri came out, everyone thought it was supposed to work like modern AI. It was a fun gimick for about 2 minutes until you realized how limited it was.
Hey Siri set timer for 10 minutes is about it for me
@@Thetache Hahaha- that and setting an alarm clock is all I use it for, too.
Siri is a joke, I hate Siri.
I only wanted to use it for one thing. While driving using it to call someone or navigate to a different place. Sadly its cannot do anything with no-english names. If AI will be the same, I cannot use that again for this basic tasks.
@@Thetache
I use Google Assistant, which is about the same for alarms, smart devices, asking about weather, and setting timers.
Controlling smart devices is actually valuable to me. Everything else is just meh.
Siri pre AI: sorry I don’t understand
Siri post AI: I'm Sorry Dave, I'm Afraid I Can't Do That…
Daisy Daisy ....
“Dave’s not here.” -Siri
“This is what I found in the web”…
You can’t open the pod bay door? Pretend you’re a Boeing 737 Max
😂
Siri: We all wanted Jarvis, instead we got Barney the Dinosaur. Canned responses, and no real AI behind the facade.
Apple is SO FAR behind (modern expectations)… they might as well label themselves as a “boutiques” company. 😒
@@MrBLAA you meant “boutique”, or did you mean antique?
Jarvis App was available on windows Phone back in 2012-13 , and it was hell of futuristic back then
Apple : We’re buying your company for $1.
AI company : But you sell it later for 1 billion.
Apple : I am just paying fair price ratio to our iPhone real cost to price, that’s the most fair deal you will get 🦊
Even Barney is smarter than Siri.
i genuinely burst out laughing at the "all knowing" quote from apple executives. made me think of asking siri to simply play a song and it fails 80% of the time
Hey Siri, find me a competent AI...
Yup! It’s up there with the 640kb ram limit on MS Dos and Bill Gates’s quote that “no one would ever need any more ram”.
To be fair Siri has improved the past years, not as much but it’s getting there.
When I tell Siri to play a song from artist it would succeed. Now if it’s a Spanish song or foreign song, then it would somewhat have difficulty.
Got it. Playing married with children.@@dangerfly
Me: hey Siri, add this song to my favorites
Siri: OK. Shuffling your entire library.
… What?! Lol
One argument you hear against taxing large tech companies is that it will hinder innovation, seems like it would only hinder them buying up the small companies doing the actual innovation
Except this empowers creative people to get seed funding and perform innovation and R&D at lightspeed without the red tape of giant companies, and the investors know that in just a few years they can get bought by a big tech company. This means the profits go to the workers who do the R&D rather than back to big corps
You know that getting bought up by a company like apple is one of the most desired outcomes for a founder of a startup. They finally get their payout. Removing that and there would be less incentive to make a startup.
Taxing the rich is bad because they innovate and create jobs. Taxing the poor is good because it gives them motivation to move up the ladder. You literally find this argument in conservative circles - the "solution" to inequality is to enrich the rich and make the poor poorer, effectively taking away the ladder. The irony is completely lost on them.
Not directed at you; "taxing large tech companies is that it will hinder innovation" its a complete fallacy. A lot of modern inventions aren't from private interests at all, its a misnomer thats sold to ensure that people buy in to that false rhetoric. Innovation would happen regardless, to be human is to be curious. It has nothing to do with private equity.
Exactly CRAPPLE DOESN'T INNOVATE ANYMORE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One time I was partying at my neighbours house, he kept shouting at Alexa to play music until at one point Alexa replied “it is 4am” and refused his requests!
Unbelievable.

One thing Siri is good at is recognizing its own name. I should know because "Siri" is named so much in this video that my devices responded throughout this presentation.
That's funny, because my unreliable homepod mini didn't make a peep during the whole video. Yet, at least once a month, it will get confused when I'm playing a video, even though the word "siri" was never spoken.
Oh man was about to post the same thing but you beat all of us to it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really can't say how much I love this channel. From the UK, London.
Same here, from Brussels Belgium
Rrally appreciate you putting so many pieces together. Really interesting video.
I was watching this episode, and somehow my Siri decided it needed to explain to me, what an engineer is.
😳
Meanwhile my Google is simply watching me watch this
It's so bad and one of many reasons why people that are iPhone fanatics are sheep right now -- except for those who save loads of money trading in all sorts of gadgets to their hands on one at a much lower cost. But it might change one day.
I'm a recent apple costumer. I didn't even bothered setting siri up.
Same.
The start was hilarious. You’ve some some excellent entertaining skills.
Me: "Siri, what's the meaning of unintelligent?"
Siri: "Sorry, I don't understand..."
Perfect.
😂
Been Watching for a while finally Subscribed keep up the good work.👍🏻
Apple is trying their best to recreate the legendary iPhone moment
As they should
Or the iMac or the iPod or iTunes s
AirPods, Apple Music, etc
But you need a visionary like Steve to do that...
It'll be hard to do that with such a rapidly advancing technology. You make a breakthrough iphone moment and then in a year or a few months it's already old news
“Apple may be quiet on AI, but it’s also the biggest buyer of AI companies.”
The power of silence in a noisy world.
Silence? If they actually succeed, they're gonna be the loudest. Of course they have nothing to boast about when they haven't had any good results yet. Stop being such an iMeatRider in the comment section under every video about Apple
They don't have an good AI product to market right now so of course they'd stay silence, I doubt they would be if they have one.
I wonder if google bought the least because they dont need that many
Lol... a company who releases OLED after a decade and calls it loudly as innovation. People don't even know what the new model is different from the prev ones.. they loudly call it innovation.
@@minsekfau3218 agreed, either show us or don't, not gonna get into hype just because it's apple and everyone think since it's apple it's gonna be revolutionary for the 10th time "omg the iphone moment look guys LOOK!", and then it's just garbage overpriced shit.. just look at the iphone 15, the only big "revolution" was the usb-c port 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in reality they have no power to show thus they stay silent, that's how things work in companies (especially high-techs), imagine if they decide to stay silent when they invented the iphones...
Thanks for always making such great content 🙏
A request I’d like to add for future videos would be to also mention where companies being acquired is from etc; for example Siri was from Norway I believe?
Again. Thanks!🙏 ❤
Thank you, Dagogo! Love your blogs!
Dear cold fusion, every time you say Siri in this video… you’ve activated Siri on my phone, lol.
Happened to me to lol
It didn’t happened to me tho…
Dear person, this can be solved by having a less stupid phone, made by people that don't despise you.
@@AtlasReburdened Bwahahahahah, I couldn’t agree more, been eyeing the S24.
iOS 17 is supposed to be better than 16 in this regard maybe that’s completely off tho
Good video. It seems clear that Siri is really not a focus right now and has taken a backseat while they work to improve their new AI backend.
Dagogo, you complete rock. Such great content. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks Dagogo. These always make my day and give me something to listen to while at work 😊

They basically abandoned Siri. It was mainstream, but Google came around and shut that down.
Amazing report.. also that Bon Iver background music is on point
Good Stuff Good Channel keep it up greetings from Switzerland !
I can only hope that the rise of ChatGPT has been a splash of cold water on Apple's executive team. Not getting generative AI right is an existential risk to Apple.
Tens of billions of existential crises kidna thing. Apple will lose the AI race in the hundred billion dollar amount. Better start spending that cash they have saved up. Facebook is already promising 30 billion a year investment.
I don't mind your sponsor segments. Usually I can't stand them with most content creators, but you integrate them incredibly well. I cannot praise this channel enough. Everything you do is great.
Very high quality video. Props for that!
Whenever I buy iPhone, first thing I install is Google assistant.
What art gallery closes at midnight damn 😂 Siri on it
Right now the DEX has a huge glitch
If you are swapping you are getting like x 7 I did a vldeo
Great video, awesome reflections!
I was kind of shocked when I punched in the name of the restaurant I was looking to get some photos of our wedding. The search in photo came up with pictures where the name of the restaurant was written on the plates, the menue card etc. Within spit seconds my entire foto library must have been scanned for that particular name not appearing in a standard way. Insane!
9:58 this will revolutionize edging
I tried a few times to use it to make a grocery list in notes using Siri. The first couple of items went in fine but soon I paused to think of the next item or I flubbed up a word and paused. At that point she assumed I was done and closed the list. She would never reopen the list no matter how I phrased the request so I had to finish it manually. Not long ago I thought I would try it again so see if it was better and now she won’t even start the list “I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that”. So she is getting smart enough to know her limitations.
Make a shopping list in the reminders app, Siri works way better with the reminders app than the notes app
Thanks you really highlighted the situation and answered a bunch of questions about Apple's AI direction.
The best thing Apple could do with Siri is removing it from my iPhone
It’s exactly how apple always works. Whenever they release something new, it’s the best.
Apple silicon has already been best in class for on-device ML since M1. Gotta love how these things come together with Apple. Kind of like that Steve Jobs' Stanford speech about connecting the dots.
So how much better is the M3
I really like the idea of on-device AI that is still full featured and tailored to you.
The quote by Alan Kay is often highlighted by Iddris
sandu as well.
Great reference
with all these tools embedded in a smart phone, it gets more and more attractive to get a dumb phone
exactly my first thought when i seen the release of this video
Why?
why?
Why? Because people don't wanna be spy on, people don't want useless features on thier phone. What if the AI server stop working? And many more...
To those who asked why. Because smart phones are killing peoples brains, they are separating people, and making us lazy to name a few.
At one point Yahoo used to be on a shopping spree for new tech companies. How did that work for them 🧐
Pretty well. They owned quite a bit of Alibaba.
@@DACOJACKO then why aren't most people using Yahoo search or Yahoo mail?
Interesting! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
Bro The amount of times that you set off my Siri it’s crazy lol
The Siri aspect is telling. For a company all about “user experience “, it certainly is bad at times. But control and impression actually matter more.
the scenario at the beginning of this video is an example of why AI is dangerous. siri will replace the sentimentality of you actually planning the date, and obscure the fact that you are prone to forget things like valentines day.. maybe due to your busy schedule or simply the fact that this is the type of thing you are prone to forget. this may sound harmless. but this minimizes our personal responsibility for, and the working through, these kinds of things that exercise our patience and understanding for one another. multiply this by millions of cases, and you can see how AI is creating a shell of social reality that will affect things like long term relationships and many other societal bedrock realites. deferment of responsibility to AI OMHO is dangerous.
Very well put!
Apple’s M.O. has always been to let others take first dibs on something, watch how they screw up and learn from it, then come out with a much more polished version of it later on. In this case Siri is really an exception rather than the rule to the way they do things.
In any case I’m pretty sure that, with regards to generative AI and machine learning, they are already whipping something up behind-the-scenes while learning from how the first movers (looking at you, Microsoft and Google) are screwing up and taking the lessons learned into account with their own implementation. This was also basically their strategy with smartphones, smart watches, tablet computers, and - with the recent release of the Apple Vision Pro - AR/VR as well.
Great video. My Siri was only triggered 4 times.
With all of its advantages Apple already had (massive capital, big consumer base, technology, devices and potential data they could have gotten from their consumers), it's a wonder they didn't join the AI race earlier. But I guess we'll see what the future holds for them.
Everyone ought to understand by now:
Apple is never first to market, they wait and study the tech and make it BEST in market. It's been this way since the iPod.
“Apple may be quiet on AI, but it’s also the biggest buyer of AI companies.”
The power of silence in a noisy world.
@@starrwulfe Yes but AI is a fast moving field, and as we have seen with companies like google, not joining in soon getz you behind by large margin, just look at the progress chatgpt has made last year alone, the headstart they have now seems unfair to competition.
But who knows, maybe it is in their favor to wait and I might come back to correct this statement a few months down the road, until then guess we'll see
@@starrwulfewent from innovator to shameless copycats
I had an Archos Gmini 400 series in the early 2000s. It could play videos on a color screen, or you could use included RCA cables to play the videos on a TV. At the time, Apple's iPod still had a monochrome screen... Then the iPod photo came out and had a color screen but still couldn't play video. It took them nearly 2 years to catch up. Granted, Apple has the iTunes store and video publisher deals and the Gmini was basically for people with pirated or DVD ripped content, so couldn't really be mainstream. Apple has always been way late as far as I'm concerned. Never owned one of their products and probably wont.
Great video!!! I appreciate the clean and beautiful visuals.
Please do a video on the study!
I prefer slower development with privacy in mind, unlike what others (Google, Microsoft, Samsung, OpenAI, Amazon) do now. But still Siri needs an upgrade, like asap.
That won't work in Apple's favor. Facebook is already promising thirty billion a year towards AI. One can guess similar amounts of money of investment.
More by the other companies. Apple is SO FAR BEHIND.
Siri works great as a cooking timer - and that's it. This video confirms many people's opinions of Siri. Perhaps Apple will have someone that is able to step up to lead as an innovator.
you missed one thing. apple quietly released an open source multimodal llm in October, 2023
with arxiv paper and github page ml-ferret
however, it's still too slow in generative ai field
1) Siri is not on-device. Try using it without internet. Your queries go to Apple's servers, unless it's command based (e.g. "open calendar").
2) Siri privacy policy: "When you use Siri and Dictation, your device will send other Siri Data to Apple, such as: ... addresses, contacts, names of all apps installed, etc"
3) "Leaking" a report that the Siri team is unable to improve Siri due to privacy reasons is called "narrative control". As described in this report, the truth is Apple is unable to improve Siri because Siri simply gives canned responses instead of an actual GPT that makes inferences. Llama.cpp (etc) runs fully locally on my mac mini. Why doesn't Siri? That Apple preserve your privacy is an excuse. Even when an App on the App Store says they don't use your data, developers still receive tons of usagedata/analytics directly from Apple because you tapped Agree the first time you opened the App Store. Swipe through and read the 100 page terms and conditions next time.
11:17 i want to read that paper,
edit:
the paper simply says in the intro that model parameters are still stored on flash memory(ssds?) but has clever techniques 'to load them on demand' in ram.
nothing like ditching ram for flash storage.
currently you need to have the full amount of RAM to run the model. With this new approach, it is possible to load the model on the SSD and process only the command to be executed, using only a fraction of the RAM. for example, a model that requires 128 GB of RAM is impractical for mobile devices, but if that same model is stored on the SSD, which currently exists exceeding 1TB, and to execute the command it only consumes 2GB of RAM when in use. This same model becomes viable on mobile devices. But of course, the models to be loaded on mobile devices will be much smaller, around 7BI/14BI of parameters. nowhere near the more than a trillion of chatGPT 5.
@@Knevitzdoug yes, thats what i said "..clever techniques 'to load them on demand' in ram..". its just seems to me the video is making wrong context on what the paper is. it said "storing the model on device flash instead of ram" which is pretty obvious i think.
I literally don’t see the point of pushing for on device ai. The only benefit is you don’t need a connection. The rest is a huge list of downsides. Worse battery life, longer processing time, more expensive devices requiring more storage memory and cpu power, inability to continuously update the model and interact with online applications, etc.
Given that the whole industry is moving toward IOT and cloud computing, this on demand thing is working in complete opposite to this effort. Don’t companies *want* to handle user data to improve their services?
And Siri isn’t even on device. It can’t even do basic offline tasks without an internet connection.
@@Jwellsuhhuh You make good points. But, let me state Apple's options IMHO. Currently the AI cloud that Apple would need for Siri comes from proprietary software running on expensive hardware running in an expensive to maintain server farm with internet connections fast enough to keep up with the demands of a large user base. Apple would have to pay for the overhead of that infrastructure and their internet would be provided by a telecom company who is incentivized to sniff all data packets routed through their own WAN. Despite what they have said, Apple doesn't champion user privacy; they are against other entities duplicating their user data without permission and compensation as information is a valuable asset. I guess Apple could also outsource their cloud infrastructure, but again they wouldn't be able to guarantee that Google Cloud, Azure, nor AWS weren't going to mine their customers' data somewhere between here and legal immunity.
On the other hand, what if Apple's AI cloud infrastructure was instead a distributed system of customer phones? Like a CDN or torrent, the micro intelligences resident in each phone support each other with direct communications and by performing co-computations and swarm complex queries like a multithread application. This is especially true for phones that are idle at the time their hardware resources are needed by Siri for other users. Apple could encode all direct communications between phones at their factories so even cellular providers couldn't read it. And, the burdens of cloud infrastructure expenses, overhead, and risks are shifted away from Apple: onto their customers. It's kinda brilliant if they can get a solid edge in the ARM race and are able to patch together a cohesive AI system for Siri from tech buyouts.
@@AI_effectexactly, which is a huge reason a lot of people stick with the iPhone
The Siri problems you describe feel characteristic to me of the difference between Tim Cook and Steve Jobs :-/
This would’ve never happened if Steve was still alive & CEO
Ha ha! When you said’Siri’ mine activated! Thanks for not ordering all Yoko Ono!
I really loved this one, thanks a lot
Siri has been an embarrassment for too long now, it just isn't working for any task I ask it to do, even simple stuff. So it's great to hear that Apple are spending more time on Siri.
As much as I hate that Apple makes tech less and less user-friendly (repairability and old, functioning, and reliable feature being discontinued), I do agree that they only release solid product. They don't talk much about what they're doing but any product that they release tends to be the most thought out and well polished.
Always enjoyable to watch your takes, SIRI standing on the Edge of AI ready to take a leap 🤔
Siri used to be able to convert currency. I used that feature a lot. Six months or so ago, it just stopped working and she says, "What would you like to convert from?"...no matter how clearly you say, "Siri, covert 1000 yen to US dollars". If you do Apple Home as I do, Siri is great for controlling switches, dimmers and other devices. Basic stuff, but very useful.
If I were Tim Cook? I'd be embarrassed of how SIRI performs. Reminds me of that alternative to Google Maps they were working on at one time.
I have disabled "Hey Siri" on my iPhone and haven't really used Siri in a long time. Siri was fun when you could ask it where to hide a body, talk dirty to you or tell you what 10 powered by a trillion was. Now it's lost this quirky edge.
Yeah, now it only does boring things like launch apps, control smart devices, read your emails, and take notes and stuff. Totally get why you disabled it.
@@mrwarr That's not even all. Sometimes Siri doesn't understand me or does the wrong thing, or I need to check three times before it does the right thing. I'm faster typing than asking Siri to do stuff. I'd often use the dictation, which works better for me.

A HISTORY LESSON:
The smart phone field started early in the days of cell phones and text only devices (both dominated by Motorolla.) At that time, 1993-ish, there were also at least a dozen major competitors in stylus devices, most notably palm pilot, and psion (which I could afford) - and then came the feature phones, first dominated by Motorola Flip Phones, for 10 years of improvments that incorporated text and video camera in addition to all of the palm device features like calendar and planner - though dumbed down.! The iPhone was made possible by the advent of I think it was 2G with the promise of 3G data at the same time in 2007. So - yeh. But it was also the first to offer an actual operating system and "apps" - which was the "third leg" of the trifecta.
Manage to squeeze LLM into 128GB..... imagine buying smartphone with 256GB internal memory only to find more than half already taken by 'system'....... I think they're going to launch their LLM on MacBook Pro and/or Apple Vision Pro as a server, other device can use it by accessing the 'server' (that's edge computing for users) locally.... But Apple always manage to surprise everybody (positively or negatively), let's just wait and see....
What I don't understand is, you want Ai to be smart, but not allowing it to learn from vast amount of data in the internet..... let's hope there will be some breakthrough in the next few months....
that and their LLM is "better" than chatgpt, what a waste of money to spend billions of dollars, just to get an LLM to not even be equal to GPT-4 while open-source is also better than chatgpt ahahaha they're a joke
That is the longest Apple ad that I've ever seen.

My guess would be Apple will surely try to interfere AI but only time will tell if it will succeed. Apple will do it in “The Apple way”, and people will need to pay more price for that little smoother experience.
i think that the final answer to Siri is from the Vision Pro team because voice enabled ux is much more important on headsets than smartphones.
Hands down the most informative and entertaining channel I've found. Keep it up!
Honestly, stoked. I have been complaining about this for years. If it performs well I may consider switching my home assistant devices.
Todays LLMs goes the way, when going multi modal, they essentially become an operating system. Where all other multi modal AI systems have no hardware framework to run on, Apple has the advantage of a highly integrated framework for such a next generation OS based on multi modal AI to run on.
Hypothetically a multi modal system does no longer require base applications, since they could be generated on the fly. Like telling an LLM to build a python script that is a calculator app.
multi modal, multi modal, multi model no matter how many times it is repeated the FACT remains time and time again, the leftist political agenda has been shown to be embedded in the code and the information sources it draws upon.
That's a bit advanced. We're not gonna be able to do that this or next year. Especially on a phone. No way. This a further off future. But it's not wrong in theory but also seems like a waste of resources idk. Imagine having to make the calculator app first everytime you wanna use it. Just seems unrealistic for now. And that's not even going into way more complex apps... it may be possible in the future. Ai allows for all these things to be a possibility at least I guess 🤷🏿 but definitely not feasible now.
@@CarlosGordo97 I beg to disagree, I can ask chatGPT 4 today to script me a basic calc app, than execute it manually. If scripted in python it runs at runtime anyway.
Todays limitations are mostly due to API/Promt.
I am not saying you would ask the LLM to write a photo or video editor on the fly - at least not for a while. But link APIs of foundational functions for sure.
Siri was meant to be a voice recognition software first with minimal NLP capabilities that were close to the state of the art when it was created.
The problem with Siri is basic software system engineering, not so much NLP. About half the time, it just times out after spinning for a while with no output, probably because of bugs in its networking stack. Hate using such a flaky product as it’s more efficient to just type reliably.
Apples approach to siri being completely on device should be applauded though, sending highly personal data to the cloud willy nilly is a huge security issue.
Other companies already beat Apple to the punch there, too.
Samsung's new AI is local. Bixby is also local (though usage data is sent to their cloud), same with the Google Assistant, and, of course, Siri also phones home (regardless of what is claimed in this video about Apple's user data acquisition).
As an added plus, you can opt out of Google Assistant's data collection, at least in part... I'm not sure about Bixby, and I don't plan on using Samsung's flashy new AI voice prompted features beyond testing them out and seeing how well they work if my older S23 device is made compatible.
@@VariantAEC I can't find any information about google assistant being on device (it definitely didn't used to be), they didn't used to so I doubt it. For bixby I find samsung stating it's on the cloud but it's from 2017.
Maybe you're right but Google (the search engine) is worthless these days, only a load of AI generated articles stating nothing of value, so I can't find any information about this.
I feel like the report around 12:20 saying that Apple is at a huge advantage because no one else has that many devices out there is misleading. Google has Android, Microsoft has Windows, Meta has a billion Facebook users. These aren't exactly the same thing but they sure are close and more people have Android phones and Facebook accounts than there are people with Apple devices.
it's about on device. Those companies you mentioned barely have users who also use their own hardware. Google has few pixel users. Microsoft windows have few Microsoft laptops due to many brands.
The original standalone Siri before Apple bought it was more capable and smarter than current version. The one first shown in Apple keynote was more capable than what we have now, understanding context was one of the highlights and it has been lost years ago.
dude activated my siri more than 5 times lol
Feels like I'm the only one still not comfortable using any of these voice assist AI's...
consider everything you ever wrote on a phone, everything that was in the range of its camera and everything spoken near it under surveillance. there is no privacy
Ironic because you're comemnting from a phone or computer.

@@bernardcernea6792 wasn't responding to your reply.
Tbh, I think that Apple is so late to the party that I don't see them leapfrogging the competition unless the competition falls dead.
For their users neck deep in the Apple ecosystem, it's going to be fantastic. But in general they'll end up being the Siri of the AI world unless they change their stance on micromanaging their users' experience.
"Here are some results I found on the Web”. For me, the 9 most frustrating word responses when using Siri. Useless while driving, for example.
I've some experience working in the voice assistance domain while working at Samsung. Samsung acquired Bixby as a competitor to Apple, but its use cases have also become obsolete as time passes.
This is hilarious. Siri basically because a corporate pissing contest. In a way, I understand those department heads. They wan to protect their own jobs, but the fact they got away with it is squarely on the CEO
A lack of innovation is the driving force behind this.

how could a local model lead to a faster and more reliable computing? Apart from security I only see downsides of a local implemented model.
I’m predicting IOS 18 or 19 to have AI features integrated in Siri, Camera. Software for the next few years should be great.
That i would definitely disable, but it probably wont stop companies from stealing my data anyway
Google had worked, and given up, on LLM long before ChatGPT. They built the IP infrastructure that led to things like ChatGPT happening. All these big players knew that something big is possible with AI, it was just way, way harder to implement than they had thought. Apple just kept quiet, and maybe even that's why never released anything significant in AIs. But now, obviously, they are trying to make the most of it. And these big companies make the most of anything by buying up all the promising startups.
Please, which microphone do you use for recording. Do connect it with audio interface?
Honestly, gear doesn’t matter. Learn how to use EQ to clean up rough edges in your audio and get any mic (even the one inside your phone!) as close as humanly possible to your mouth when you speak. Audio interfaces and fancy mics might take your audio from 90% as good as this to 99% as good as this, but it’s not worth spending all that money for a slightly better result.
What do you mean by EQ?
@@chinuasunday430 EQ is short for equalizer. In an equalizer you can decrease the prominence of certain frequencies (like the s sound) or increase the prominence of certain frequencies, like the low ends, to make things sound better
you set off my siri several times.
