Chapter 171 Why Didn't You Come to Huaxia?
The results definitely met expectations.
When Apple humbly bowed its head and started shouting to the world, it quickly soared to the top of the trending searches.
For Apple fans around the world, this was undeniably good news.
Of course, this included Apple fans in Huaxia as well.
For Apple the company, one can look down on its toothpaste-squeezing product updates, question its dwindling creative capabilities over the years, scorn the 30 percent 'Apple tax' in the Apple Store, and even criticize the company's decision to profit from chargers under the guise of environmental protection.
But one must affirm that Apple truly redefined the smartphone and led the arrival of the mobile internet era.
The iOS system also indeed walked a path unique to Apple during an era dominated by open-source.
As for iPhones, they still firmly hold the number one spot in the world's high-end smartphone market share.
What's more impressive, this time Apple's collaboration with OpenAI LP is on the software level. Although Apple has only released a few videos thus far, they have already garnered anticipation from everyone with an Apple device.
Even the stock price, defying the trend, went up by eight points.
Bear in mind that due to the Apple 15's sales not meeting expectations, the company's stock price had been on a downward trend for a while.
Not to mention, ChatGPT 4.0's capabilities are indeed formidable; at least for now, it seems to be no less powerful than Youwei's Qunzhi System.
After all, the true strength of the Qunzhi System lies in its ability to mimic human-like response logic without needing vast amounts of data, but ChatGPT, while its underlying algorithms are not as advanced as Qunzhi's, has nearly a decade of history feeding on substantial data.
Put it this way, Qunzhi is like Qiao Ze, young but already showing potent potential; whereas ChatGPT 4.0 is like the renowned Daniel Nomit, who not only has long proven himself but is also in his prime.
As for who between Qiao Ze and Daniel has greater knowledge right now, it's hard to say definitively. At least for the moment, they seem to perform similarly.
But one thing is certain.
Just like youth represents the future.
Currently, the data feeding for Qunzhi is just starting; it's hard to imagine the heights it will reach once it advances.
In this regard, Su Mucheng probably has the most say.
After all, the Qunzhi System from Youwei is indeed a castrated version.
With so many privacy restrictions, it prevents Qunzhi from quickly learning a user's style, so it's restricted to basically chatting with the user in natural language.
Her Dou Dou belongs to the full version of Qunzhi.
No concerns about privacy whatsoever; Su Mucheng has always given Dou Dou the most comprehensive permissions from WeChat to Penguin, and all the social media she uses including Weibo, Dong Hu, short-video apps, and even media players.
Lil' Dou Dou has all the access.
Even with the computer system, Su Mucheng has granted Dou Dou administrator rights.
This means that if Qiao Ze enables the same permissions for Dou Dou in the background, then this little assistant's capabilities won't be limited to just keeping company; it will timely fetch various interesting apps, and if it deems them suitable for Su, could even directly find the official links and download and install them in the background.
In fact, Su Mucheng has already started using it that way.
It's just not automated yet.
Also, if Dou Dou is paired with a firewall, it can actively alert you when there's an attempt by malicious software to invade your computer.
Though viruses are less of a concern for the average user nowadays.
Many issues like adware pop-ups, background information scraping, DNS hijacking are still prevalent, and it's easy to fall victim if you're not careful.
With Dou Dou as her little butler, Su Mucheng can worry less.
If pesky pop-ups are cluttering her computer screen and she asks Dou Dou about it, the little guy can take care of the unwanted software.
If notifications are annoying her on her phone, a single command to Dou Dou can promptly tighten the reins on any misbehaving apps in the privacy settings.
Even useful apps can have their permissions automatically enabled when Su Mucheng is using them, and similarly, permissions can be automatically turned off when not in use.
These are features that Youwei's Qunzhi System lacks.
From Youwei's perspective, enabling the same features would not only require users to give Qunzhi almost total permissions, but it would also mean opposing almost every major software provider.
As for the ChatGPT feature showcased in Apple's videos teaching English, for Dou Dou, that is a piece of cake as well.
So, Su Mucheng was not in good spirits.
She didn't care whether Apple collaborated with OpenAI LP, nor whether Apple 15 could become a best-seller, nor about the fluctuations in Apple's stock; frankly, Su Mucheng didn't care at all about what happened to Apple.
After all, she wasn't an Apple fan.
What she cared about was, how could Apple, on this extremely important day, steal Qiao's thunder?
Although Qiao Ze certainly didn't care about such things, maintaining an indifferent stance even towards trending on social media.
But Qiao Ze's indifference did not mean Su Mucheng wasn't concerned.
Out of all days for the announcement of collaboration with OpenAI LP, it had to be today, wasn't that too coincidental?
She wouldn't have believed it was unintentional.
Was this because the president of Apple Huaxia Region had an embarrassing meal at Xilin University of Technology and was now acting out of spite?
