科技记者 David Pogue 评价 Apple 新版 Siri:整体效率和准确性大幅提升,堪称"第二大脑",但存在局部任务(如暂停音频)响应变慢的问题,需要数秒而非瞬间完成。 文章核心观点是,新版 Siri 已具备真实可用能力,用户主要障碍来自15年来的不信任记忆和19年旧操作习惯,需要主动改变使用方式。
Meta 把新应用 Muse 定位为“个人超级智能”,但作者认为其实际能自动化的任务非常有限,比如填表、订位、付账单、代购等,对普通生活帮助不大,且存在 ToS 冲突和效率问题。 文章还质疑 Meta 未来对 Muse 交易抽佣的商业模式,称其像是多了一层 rent-seeking,并举例 Meta 自己的演示视频里用 AI 帮人订餐的荒谬感。 引用了 Rusty Foster 关于“我的人生就是一串小任务”的反思,指出把人生琐事交给扎克伯格的计算机后,“我还剩下什么”。整体立场偏向质疑“个人超级智能”炒作与真实用户体验之间的落差。
