Yesterday, I gave ChatGPT links to three recipes and told it to make me a grocery list.
It left off ingredients. The very gentle singularity…
"As consumers begin to use AI agents to do their shopping..." are people actually doing this? Has anyone here done this?

Maybe a naive question but I don't really understand the why of this? Why do I need ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence? Shouldn't Apple Intelligence just do what it's asked? Is that Apple saying it's Apple Intelligence isn't that good? Is this some business dealings I don't understand?
It sort of parallels setting a default browser on your phone. Do you want to use Safari or Chrome? Do you want to use Apple Intelligence or OpenAI? But that's really not what it is, because everything is still funneled through Apple, then to OpenAI.
I don't get it.

I love that they have affilate links in the article for a product that "wasn’t built for this world".

I think this problem is even worse than just ghost jobs.
My partner is currently looking for a new job. Two or three times now, they’ve completed the whole interview process, gotten great feedback. Then they are ghosted for 2-3 weeks and the company comes back and says “sorry we decided not to hire for this role”. It’s utterly exhausting.
I do think when the interviews started, they had intentions to hire. (My partner knew people at the company and was recommended). But then for whatever reason during the hiring process, the job goes away.
Hasn't there been a fear of recession for something like 3 years now?
The constant stress of potentially being laid-off at any time over the past three years has been exhausting.
It appears from the demo example, OpenAI is not winning in the accuracy department either: https://x.com/kifleswing/status/1816542216678179083
> In ChatGPT's recent search engine announcement, they ask for "music festivals in Boone North Carolina in august"
> There are five results in the example image in the ChatGPT blog post :
> 1: Festival in Boone ... that ends July 27 ... ChatGPT's dates are when the box office is closed [X] 2: A festival in Swannanoa, two hours away from Boone, closer to Asheville [X] 3. Free Friday night summer concerts at a community center (not a festival but close enough) [O] 4. The website to a local venue [X] 5. A festival that takes place in June, although ChatGPT's summary notes this. [Shrug]
Not saying the SearchGPT will or will not be accurate, but this demo was certainly made in After Effects. Who knows where the copy came from.

I've been working as a product designer for the last 10 years, but for a few years before that I was a software engineer. I've been interested in moving back towards the technical side of things. It seems that role, and what is described in this article, would often be called a "design engineer".
However, I don't quite understand what the role of a design engineer is. If a PM is the "what", design is the "how", and eng is the implementation. Where would a design engineer fall? I'm sure it is very much a spectrum, but I'd be interested in hearing from some folks who have filled this role.
Are you focused on the "how", but using code to achieve that? Are you focus on the "how" and it simply turns into the implementation? Are you focused on the implementation, but with the background and skills of a designer?
