You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’m sure they are. But they haven’t yet. And after this, they might at least borrow a page from Apple and make sure it works first.

I mean... They have though. It's not in bing.com but "Microsoft copilot" is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they're embedding directly into desktops. They've been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

I haven’t noticed it appearing unasked in internet search results, and I never use the desktop search except for on-device queries.

Like Apple Maps? Or mms messaging?

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nobody’s perfect.

I don’t know of any MMS problem, but I also don’t generally text outside of iMessages. Maps was a cockup, and Apple owned it.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Owned it by forcing everyone to manually install google maps, which they were already using happily? Or owned it by giving a pr spin after the fact? Group messaging via mms still doesn’t work correctly due to iMessage.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 5 months ago

Owned up to the mistake, then suggested alternatives while they were finishing Maps, which had been rushed due to the launch of Android and Jobs not wanting a competitor’s CEO sitting on Apple’s board.

I have no idea what you’re on about messaging. I can use it just fine.
