Apple's New 8000 Area Code

[JT Smith]

I needed to contact Apple recently and discovered that they are pioneering the new 8000 area code for their technical support number. I have an older iPhone and it wasn't up to the task so I had to find the old 800 number. Once I got through I was treated to an example of what I assume is Apple Intelligence: a phone bot that couldn't parse any of what I was asking about and ultimately handed me off to a human being.

Thanks for the reminder to sell some more of my Apple stock!

Well, for me, I do not use Apple AI. Instead, I use AI on my laptop called GPT4ALL, as one can install any AI model of their choosing for free, as long as it fits within RAM. Seems like big corporations bork the AI compared to running open source software.
