Apple's new AI system is locked to iPhone 15 Pros and the M-series iPads and Macs.
I wasn't going to use it anyways.
There's merit to talking to and listening to large language model output.
But Apple's advertising is (brilliantly) deceptive when you check out the
caveats (just as Apple's brilliantly advertised messaging doesn't really
work in the real world, nor does Apple's brilliantly marketed HEIC, etc.).
Apple is all (brilliant) marketing; but nothing works in the real world.
The main reason for reporting it here is the Apple religious zealots will
believe Apple's (rather brilliant) marketing that "iOS 18 will have AI".
But the fact is you have to buy a new iPhone or iPad, and even then, it has
to be a specific iPhone and a specific set of iPads that will have it.
Worse, if you try to use https://gemini.google.com in an iPad Chrome
browser, in my experience, the microphone won't set (but that may be just a
bug).
Worse still, if you try to use the Apple chatGPT app, it will make you jump
through hoops for it to listen and even more hoops for it to speak out the
results, and even after all that, you're restricted unless you buy a PLUS
account.
While most of the Apple uneducated religious zealots will believe that you
can talk to and listen to output from Apple's chat AI products, you can't
if you're not on the iOS 18 iPhone 15 Pro and/or the Apple M-series iPads.
