        Most people want longer battery lives and cheaper repairs, they’ve wanted those for years. Instead, we get AI which can reply to texts for us, that we still need to proof read anyway. Which is just a soulless amalgamation of the words of everyone we’ve never met

          You’re absolutely right — battery life and repairability are some of the most requested features, and they affect how we use our devices daily. The addition of Apple Intelligence on iMacs does seem geared toward more advanced functionality, but it doesn’t necessarily address the core user demands like longevity and affordability. AI can bring impressive new tools, like advanced text recognition or more intuitive workflows, but if the basics like battery life and repairs aren’t up to par, it’s a harder sell. Users want tech that lasts and doesn’t feel like a constant upgrade cycle

        Techbros think that the masses want or need the bazinga tech so badly that it’s forcibly pushed on them, from OSes to search engines.

      I unironically talk to AIs a lot because it’s easier than talking to actual people
