Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

I'm not sure, but I assume it's because a GPS app is running on the dash somewhere, and the app keeps the phone unlocked and visible?

I have a kobo color and like it but the software definitely lacking. I've also found it hard to find some mainstream books for purchase outside Amazon store which is hard.

Where do you find content and do you have any recommendations for third party software setup?

I'm not saying it's right, but there us post processing that has always been done, but on modern flagships they've pushed into more and more.

Have you used a phone camera recently? This has been baked in for many years on every out of the box camera experience on flagship phones.

I don't mean this as a broad category of AI defense, but this doesn't seem much worse than a bad Photoshop job, which is perfectly reasonable standard for a shitty image macro that conveys a funny point.

I agree. I don't know the origin of the term, and whether or not this is all great post rationalization or if it was intended from the start, but these are exactly the reasons I think it's a very good analogy.

The sad truth is that today traditional search engines have been run into the ground by SEO, and some how chatbots backed by LLMs are producing what Google used to call the "I'm feeling Lucky" button. It used to just automatically take you to the first result for your query which was usually what you wanted.

That feels obvious to me, and has for quite some time. The fact the hype machine has been saying the opposite for over two years has kept me second guessing my gut intuition, and yet I kept coming back to this us good and useful in some scenarios, but it will take a lot of big jumps to replace people becsuse coding was never the hard part.

There is definitely a lot of work and improvement in this area needed. It's frustrating to see them pouring resources into other parts of the ecosystem that I don't use, but my hope is that brings in enough users to help increase functionality across the whole ecosystem over time.

I've wanted to try this for quite some time. Always struggled getting started. Any tips or pointers for getting a minimal setup working?

Now I'm even more bummed out it didn't survive. Still a good thought experiment.
