  • LLM’s don’t know anything.

    They have no capacity for thought or introspection. It receives an input and selects tokens that match an expected output. That’s it. Yes it has been fed the entirety of human knowledge to be able to do this. But that’s like a human memorizing the entire mandarin alphabet but never learning mandarin. An Al just makes a sentence that looks right, or generates an image that matches the tokens in a prompt. I could make a mandarin sentence with random symbols, and it might even say something. Doesn’t mean I speak mandarin.



  • Utterly useless.

    Can’t message people, the primary communication system for the target audience, without using cumbersome voice to text.

    Can’t browse the internet, the primary use case for a modern phone.

    Can’t really answer phone calls without a separate headset.

    Can tell time, which is good for a watch. Has a battery life measured in hours, which is laughable for any modern watch.

    Anything the Apple Watch can do is better served by the phone that you need to pair with the watch anyway, or a seperate mechanical or digital watch. Or just the phone. It takes 3 seconds to pull out a phone and look at the time.

    And if you want heart rate monitoring or pulse oxygen readings: Fitbit did it first years before the Apple Watch. All Apple did was let you struggle to read text messages on a tiny screen that also tells you that your heart rate is elevated.
