In this episode of the Cortex podcast, the hosts share their frustrations with Apple's new AI-driven message suggestions, which they find to be unnatural and counterproductive, disrupting authentic communication in personal conversations. They also delve into the fast-changing world of AI search tools, weighing the pros and cons of options like Perplexity and ChatGPT, and emphasize the need for a "metamodel" to enhance user experience. The discussion then turns to their individual work habits, preferred devices, and how their technology usage varies with the seasons, particularly regarding iPads, Kindles, and the Apple Vision Pro.
