1215.经济学人-So long iPhone. Generative AI needs a new device-2

You can be dismissive of smart glasses. They have been hyped before.

But lending Meta credibility this time is the fact that the same week Openai, the generative-ai pioneer, announced that its hit chatbot, Chatgpt, can now see, hear and speak, besides conversing by text.

Moreover, it emerged that Openai was in talks with Sir Jony Ive, Apple’s former designer, to create a new gadget for the ai era. What form it will take is still unclear.

But if the idea is to build a new consumer-electronics device better suited to the back-and-forth of seeing, talking and listening ais, there is a fair chance it will no longer be reliant on the touchscreen.

这是《经济学人》2023年10月刊的一篇文章'So long iPhone. Generative AI needs a new device'第2、3段。
