They could make Siri change its voice and Genmoji based on the degree of certainty of the response:

  • Trust me: Arnold as Terminator 😎
  • Eehhhh, could be bullshit: shrugging old man meme 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • Just kiddin' here: whacky Jerry Lewis 🤪

They could sell different voice packages. Revive the ringtone market.

Tim Cook..go take your meds and watch Price is Right

[–] Imgonnatrythis 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I only trust moguls and political figures that are 100% sure of everything. I really like the confidence and it makes me feel like they deserve big paychecks and special rights because they must be so smart to have have no room for the doubt like the rest of us spineless imps. This guy is displaying weakness and should be shamed!

I bet Tim Apple is going to fire his ass.

To be 100 percent sure is a hallucination. Probably he tried to say that he is less than 80 percent sure.

That's like saying you can't be 100% sure you never have fake news at the top of search query results. It's just a fact.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Even Apple CEO Tim Cook isn’t sure the company can fully stop AI hallucinations.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Cook said he would “never claim” that its new Apple Intelligence system won’t generate false or misleading information with 100 percent confidence.

These features will let you generate email responses, create custom emoji, summarize text, and more.

Recent examples of how AI can get things wrong include last month’s incident with Google’s Gemini-powered AI overviews telling us to use glue to put cheese on pizza or a recent ChatGPT bug that caused it to spit out nonsensical answers.

The voice assistant will turn to ChatGPT when it receives a question better suited for the chatbot, but it will ask for your permission before doing so.

In the demo of the feature shown during WWDC, you can see a disclaimer at the bottom of the answer that reads, “Check important info for mistakes.”


The original article contains 334 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

If you want to have good AI, you need to spend money and send your AI to college. Have real humans interact with it, correct it's logic, make sure it understands sarcasm and logical fallacies.

Or, you can go the cheap route: train it on 10 years of Reddit sh*tposts and hope for the best.

They absolutely cannot. This is yet another company that should know better using this cool new technology for completely the wrong things.

LLMs fundamentally do not evaluate information.

Saying anything else would be lying
