Apple Shortcuts has many drawbacks I think.
- it functions depend on apps
- you need to engineer or “low-code” the functions
- debugging can be problematic
- password/access is a big issue, which limit the functionality
- daily impact looks limited. so far I haven’t used many in daily life, although I tried to..
However, it seems to me that on future hardware, users should be able to use verbal communication to replicate human interactions, in a way that even the hardware can’t distinguish if it’s AI or human. Or to imagine that you have an assistant to do all the work on iPhone for you, and that assistant is AI.
