Why is this a photo of a phone showing the post instead of just a screenshot of the post?
They asked Claude and that's how they told them to do it...
Now seriously, some apps don't let you make screenshots.
Likely because the application will detect that a screenshot was taken and will then notify the guy who posted it that someone screenshot their post (and who did it.)
Good job they didn't include any identifying features in the photo like their phone model, screen protector, case and right-hand, then!
Looks like the photo was taken using a translation app, maybe?
A translation app that renders the scratch on the screen over the top of its translated text?

Bro was already on an Internet connected device and was too lazy to just switch to Google. This is advanced stupidity.
Exactly what corpos want. Make humans even more stupid and dependent on certain technologies, so that they stay docile.
How did they take the picture if their phone was in their hand?
Just gotta move the phone back faster than c (taking a roundabout path so that your phone's path while moving doesn't obscure or mix with the desired pic) while also switching to the camera app and hope your didn't have a delay set on your camera or you just did a lot of damage to the area for nothing (even approaching c is pretty violent to everything else nearby not at c).
I assume they're taking a photo of the story so it doesn't notify the person that they took a screenshot.
I like this. It illustrates very well how AI works. Very often when a movie is released then there's a screening at that time. So AI said yes!
I was invited by a newly made friend to go to a party being celebrated by a food store. It sounded fun. We got there and there was nothing. "It was two days ago." "But ChatGPT said it would continue through today," quipped the moron.
I tried something similar. Asked ChatGPT to keep an eye on my wife's flight and to alert me 15 minutes before I would have to leave from where I currently was in order to pick her up. I was around 45 minutes from the airport. It told me to drive 5 minutes before she landed. I didn't trust it for shit and was on time though.
Get Flighty. Best lifetime sub I’ve ever made.
That sounds reasonable. Maybe a bit delayed.
How long does taxying, deplaning, and checked baggage retrieval take?
Can you even use AI for anything fairly recent? It's been a while but asking for anything that is supposed to happen on the same day seems useless.
AIs can query the web and parse the results, so it is possible for Claude to understand the question, search the web for movie schedule of a cinema, parse the website and give an accurate answer. It's also very possible for it to do it incorrectly or just pretend that it did that and give you a random time instead so that you are happy.
I can't imagine trusting an AI with something like this, where it's so easy to just check it yourself
Going even further, we had this capability already, for example the original Google Assistant was able to do that task just fine.
Yet Gemini similarly seems to struggle with this on mobile.
In the same example, I don't understand why, that when the agent protocol started happening they didn't offer the original Google Assistant pathway as an agent of mcp for Gemini to call and add its response to the context.
I recently saw some fireworks on the beach and asked if there was something just to see what happened. It found the event in the internet and told as a possibly.
Nah they can get context and summarize web pages as they presently are. Not all do, and I'm not up to date on what ones do, but the expectation was Claude would find their schedule on their website online, would summarize it, and use that summary to answer the question and any followup ones that would've occurred.
Yeah, anything not taken into training yet will not be available for the bot.
You don’t need AI for this. You can just ask a human, they’ll induce you in error just as often.
When was the last time a movie box office told you the wrong time for a movie?
The box office, I wouldn’t know, but friends? At least once. Which isn’t much, but it’s one time more than AI.
That just sounds like you're unaware of the other times you asked AI for an answer and got the wrong one, but accepted it as fact anyway.
A while back someone suggested asking AI about some niche hobby or interest that you're already incredibly educated or experienced in, and see how well it does. It'll usually get the main idea, but definitely starts falling apart within the details and nuances. Thing is, you wouldn't know where to draw those lines if you weren't already versed in that matter.
The thing is, I have indeed done this many times, in fact I do it every time a new model comes out. Last year it was an intern at best, but now? It’s easily a coworker. Which would be nice, only this happened in less than a year. What happens in 5?
We’ve run tests with Astra this week for a 3d artist. Turns out the output quality is slightly better than most juniors in the field. Two weeks ago, the best model in the world couldn’t do beat a child.
