Considering the poor search results full of literally made up data, wrong references, and garbage that these ChatBot search engines have produced, with little sign of any improvement, I don’t understand why everyone is in such a rush to implement them. 

Sundar Pichai said in CBS 60 minutes said they don't have intelligence. That is OK. Look at the rampant BSs the politicians produced each day. And they can win reelections over the voters. 

This is cheap. Super Mario Brothers movie in its two weeks debut grossed over $600 million worldwide. 

Is India celebrating exceeding China to be the most populous nation in the world this month? Does this mark the beginning of China 2.0?

I suspect price is a factor. The base 14” MBP with M2 Pro for example is an amazing machine, but it is also expensive. RAM/SSD upgrades are also laughably overpriced. 

The M1 iMac is 3 years old now, and still no sign of any updates. Who wants to pay the same price for a 3 year old machine as they would when it was introduced? And the Mac Pro? Yet again after promises of it not being abandoned and promises of the 2 year Apple Silicon transition, it’s been 4 years with zero updates and a year past the 2 year timeline - and the same same base price.  It’s not like Apple lacks the engineering resources to keep these up to date. 

Macs are the best, but there’s only so far people will stretch to buy the best - and for that price, they don’t want something that’s got 3 years less lifetime.

Oh please, just stop with the “overpriced” bullshit. Your ilk has been waving that flag for over forty years now. And just like the Sun rises in the East the prophets of doom crawl out of the woodwork whenever Apple sales allegedly stumble. All the memes are dusted off and trotted out... Steve is dead, Apple has lost its way. the law of large numbers, overpriced, no innovation, profit over customer, Apple is boring and uninteresting... and on and on and on.

Give it rest, haters.

Considering how many people here and elsewhere point out that price is a problem in their purchasing decision, it appears the one talking "bullshit" is you. But that's pretty standard Lkrupp behaviour.

The truth is when price is a problem people choose cheap PCs and entry level Android phones. Historically Apple was suppressed by the Wintel camps. They advise newbies on PC choices as if the world is made of IBM PC only. Apple thus lost sales to high income people like lawyers, medical doctors, bankers, etc. They are computer idiots and prefer not to be bothered with managing computers. Then Jobs returned to Apple introducing Apple Stores that let interested people freely have hands on experience with Macs. This is pre-history. The rest is history everybody now knows. 

Motion sensors that cost only several hundred dollars will be able to detect this crime extremely early.
