AI the Product vs AI the Feature

[@daemon4778]

This idea of AI as a feature was completely normal before, smartphones having Phone Assistants was proof of that. AI as a product only began recently after the recent advancement of LLMs and people clinging on to AI as a buzzword without even fully understanding what the word meant.

Let's be real, Rabbit and Humane only exist as quick sellout companies.

Their products were never planned to truly break into the market or be sustainable.

This is an excellent distinction. One of the things that the failed AI products have not yet answered is, "What problem are you solving?" A product solves a problem. A feature doesn't actually solve any problems, but it helps a n actual product to something a little bit faster/easier/more conveniently.

[@idanw22]

exactly!

[@BassLiberators]

The problem the Rabbit was meant to solve but didn't was all of your smart devices being on different networks. It was meant to link to your phone, smart fridge and smart tv and let them all communicate. "Hey Rabbit, show me a cooking video on my tv of a recipe using the ingredients that are left in my fridge." Nothing can do that yet, not even smartphone integrated AI.

[@katarh]

@@BassLiberators A lot of that is still because data entry is garbage in/ garbage out. Until RFD tags are included in every food product's packaging, your fridge is never going to know what you have in it unless you, personally, maintain and organize the inventory list. We can't even get people in inventory departments WHOSE ENTIRE JOB IS TO MANAGE INVENTORY to do that correctly. No way in heck anyone bothers with that at home!

[@JakeRobb]

I completely disagree that the distinction between product and feature has anything to do with whether there’s a problem being solved. Both features and products exist to solve problems - just on a different scale.

[@katarh]

@@JakeRobb My IDE uses algorithm based suggestions (they've gone back and are now calling it AI because it's pretty good at guessing what you want it to do based on past behavior) - but those suggestions only allow me to write my code and queries faster. They're not actually doing anything the software couldn't already do, just with a few more manual steps. It still requires a human driver.

[@lordmord8378]

Exactly, it’s not just preferred, it’s necessary for AI LLMs and other generative models to become the useful tools we need them to be, and necessary for virtual assistants to become the useful tools we need them to be. The question in my mind is how integrated into our lives do they need to be, and are there any moral/ethical boundaries we are not willing to cross as a society?

It has to become a standalone app because the phone manufacturers don't play nice with each other.

I think generally speaking, if the execution of a service is intuitive and seamless usually it becomes a product and sticks pretty well. While bigger competitors may try to copy it and make it a feature into their existing service, if it's not as intuitive or fluid as the original then usually it doesn't receive mass adoption.

My last job, we made a paid cloud product. We were one of if not the biggest in the space. Our competition didn't have the features, scale, performance, quality, etc. Then along came one that did... and they did it for free. Then another. Then another. Then another. Internally we went "we have ideas for features... can we do them?" and execs said "no, it's too expensive/we don't have the time/it's not a core feature". We sat on our butt for a long time. And then a coworker nailed the situation: we were no longer a product, we were a commodity. It didn't matter what brand you used, you could shop by price, by feature, etc. and get the same or similar experience. "AI is a feature, not a product" is a great way to put it and it's so true. If you're trying to make a product, it needs to be something... it can't just be "a tablet with an extra light" because that's easy to add.

​@@Tr4ns1st0r No, but I made fun of plenty of designers who got mad at me when I called them out for buying this stuff. Difference is, unlike your glorified pamphlet reader, I actually know what I'm talking about. I knew about the development of rabbit before he even heard of its existence (I know a few people at the LA HQ. and met two designers at teenage engineering.) This guy plays with things for 3 days, reads the pamphlet, regurgitates it, and you guys cling onto it like it's the lords word. It's actually almost pathetic, in a way. Guy got a bachelors degree in marketing and yall act like he knows so much about technology. He reads pamphlets, tech sheets, that's about it.

This is why AI really stands for Augmented Intelligence. It’s not a product, it’s a function of products.

[@cystarkman]

Consider humans. All jokes aside. Intelligence is a feature of humans. Even something wild, such as using a billion instances of a networked AI that adjusts billions of points in a magnetic containment field every nanosecond to enable the world’s first fusion reactor. The reactor is the product,

[@MondaySam-xr1iy]

Damn i never saw it that way

[@phettii]

it's not even intelligence, it's just algorithms that can read an ever changing set of data and spit out hyper-tailored responses based on prompts. it's not even really good at anything it does. it just happens to be the latest tech fad and will probably be dead in a few years except for a few niche use cases.

Feature for now. Simply because most of AI's "thing" rely on online outsourced inputs to aggregate some concise answer to began with... When my iPhone or my Galaxy will be able to tell me where is the North, when I am stranded on a remote island without any connection, then I will call it a product (and/or an entity)

The other way around would be AR to me. It was first a feature in phones, playing with it. But now the quest and vision pro proved that that tool works better in a dedicated hardware. Still in progress but it already proved his potential.

[@karenweiner1857]

Yes I think this one is a good example. And the reason that one worked is because AR and VR work better with specialized hardware that you can’t really integrate into a phone. Whereas the hardware on the standalone ai devices doesn’t have any special features that can’t be easily integrated into a smartphone.

[@DanielGreen14201]

This was great and something I was aware of but didn't know how to articulate. Thank you! Would love to see something explaining how it's possible for a product to become a feature built-in to something else. Like where is the line for infringement when a company takes the idea for a product (TikTok, Clubhouse, etc) and then builds that into their product (Reels, KZbin Shorts, Discord Stages, etc).

[@robxlove]

One day we will look back at this time of the "AI bubble" just like NFTs was, just like Clubhouse was and the war of getting your attention on a phone is becoming a tad extreme

[@thomasschlitzer7541]

It’s not a bubble. It’s everywhere already. Not a single company is needed for it. Even if all of the SP500 bankrupts the models will keep running. They are locally running already all over the planet.

[@warmoaran3]

@@thomasschlitzer7541 it is a bubble. I can do amazingly without most ai stuff.

[@Matzes]

Dumb take. Nft never really had any value. Ai has incredible value already and potential for 1000x more

[@thatcherfreeman]

The issue with this take is that AI chatbots are way better than non-AI chatbots, whereas NFTs were basically worse than a centralized, non-crypto version of the same product in nearly every application. Chatbots are useful for solving customer support cases and for doing really basic tasks via voice assistant (looking up the weather and sending text messages when your hands are occupied), so it's not like they're useless, even if their current value is sometimes overstated. Plus, AI chatbots improve pretty massively every couple years, something I wouldn't say for NFTs.

I think a great example of the "standalone" version beating the feature is mobile gaming and the switch. Every smartphone today, especially high end ones run circles around the switch in raw gaming capabilities, yet the standalone version still is more popular in many ways.

Hi Marques, I've been working for a while as a UX designer in the AI space and I can say, AI is NOT a feature or a Product, it is only a piece technology behind a Product or a feature. Just like blockchain Technology, It is currently powering a lot of features and Products across several Web3 companies. Before the advent of AI-driven Products becoming public, We have had forms of AI behind certain features in our social media apps, E-commerce and productivity apps. Soon, just like wheels were invented and is not a product or a feature in vehicles but an essential technology, that is how AI would become, A technology in our everyday lives.

[@dBsdecibels]

It'll be a "Feature" for mass use cases. It'll be a "Product" for the niche use cases. For example: auto translation will be a Feature, but an AI that can assess your organization structure and lines of communication in order to identify redundancies, efficiencies, and optimizations will be a Product. "AI" has broad enough applications that I think you'll get both, in this instance, depending on how broadly applicable the specific application ends up being.
