> I gave the example of Apple and Google for a good reason. Because these big companies are selling products that don't even exist yet.

I guess I'm curious what you mean by this, I don't particularly see either of those companies doing this, certainly not in the way this article describes, and not really in any way that's impacted substantially by AI.

What "product that doesn't exist" is Apple selling? Google? Who is paying for it?

  >>> My Google Pixel phone still can't schedule a haircut for me or book a reservation at a restaurant, despite multiple promises
This example has been in how many Android announcements?

You're telling me you haven't seen the same promise for 8 years?
