Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to the host of
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech on KFI KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. Rich,
Speaker 1: I have to ask you a question before we dig
Speaker 1: into our topics today.
Speaker 2: Sure, and it's well if I have an answer.
Speaker 1: Well, I figured if anybody would, you would, And I'm
Speaker 1: guessing that other people may be having this issue too.
Speaker 1: So I've got my iPhone right and it's a Sure
Speaker 1: fifteen Max Pro and sometimes when I open the email,
Speaker 1: you get those little boxes with the question mark that's
Speaker 1: basically blocking the pictures.
Speaker 2: Is there a way to clear that.
Speaker 1: Out so they come up? Because sometimes if I restart
Speaker 1: the phone, they'll come up, but sometimes they just don't
Speaker 1: show up, and it's annoying.
Speaker 3: That sounds like it's a connection issue at the time.
Speaker 3: So if they come up afterwards, it might just be
Speaker 3: that you're in an area that it's not loading those pictures.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I can think of off the
Speaker 3: top of my head. Okay, see Ice, but I'd have
Speaker 3: to send me a screenshot so I can investigate.
Speaker 1: I will do that. That's why we have see I
Speaker 1: usual as my personal tech issue guy. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about something that everybody can probably relate to, and that
Speaker 1: is that YouTube says that TVs have overtaken mobile for viewing,
Speaker 1: so we're watching less on our little phones and more
Speaker 1: on big screens.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about less.
Speaker 3: I don't think YouTube would want to say less on
Speaker 3: little phones, I think. And here's the distinction here. So
Speaker 3: they're going by watch minutes, and so if you ask me,
Speaker 3: of course you're going to be watching more on TV
Speaker 3: because you're watching longer, right, Like, you're probably watching like
Speaker 3: longer form content on TV. So that makes it, you know,
Speaker 3: just overall, watch time is longer on TV than it
Speaker 3: is on mobile. But I still think people are on
Speaker 3: mobile a lot. But of course, you know this is
Speaker 3: all because of TikTok. You know, they're trying to position
Speaker 3: themselves as hey, we are still a force here, we
Speaker 3: are still very strong and YouTube is very important as
Speaker 3: by the way, they are celebrating twenty years this year, which,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, twenty years of YouTube. And so they
Speaker 3: talked about in this recent blog post. They just kind
Speaker 3: of go through all these things about how YouTube is
Speaker 3: such a big business and how content creation is so
Speaker 3: huge and it's pretty wild because some of these creators,
Speaker 3: you know, they have studios and you know, a lot
Speaker 3: of staff. I mean, it's pretty wild how many businesses
Speaker 3: have been built on the.
Speaker 2: Back of YouTube, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, I would rather watch it on a big screen.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of looking at stuff on my phone.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you ever get phone fatigue?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, No.
Speaker 3: Well it's funny because I'm kind of depends on the day,
Speaker 3: but sometimes I'm too lazy to turn on my TV
Speaker 3: to open up YouTube, so I will literally just go
Speaker 3: on my phone and I do that with it.
Speaker 1: With my computer. I'm like, I should go and look
Speaker 1: up this on my computer, and I'm like, ah, but
Speaker 1: then I have to go into the other room and
Speaker 1: I can just do it here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're lazy. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1: So for people who have multiple Apple accounts, a time
Speaker 1: of consolidation has arrived.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is kind of a big shift.
Speaker 3: So I don't know about you, but I've had two
Speaker 3: Apple accounts since like day one, because you didn't realize
Speaker 3: when you set up your original account just how much
Speaker 3: of your life would be linked to that account. And
Speaker 3: so when I set mine up, I use this random
Speaker 3: email address and ever since then, because I started buying
Speaker 3: things on that account. I've had to stick to that
Speaker 3: one forever. Well, now they say if you have two
Speaker 3: Apple accounts with different purchases and things between them, Apple
Speaker 3: has a way for you to consolidate them, so you
Speaker 3: can actually move the content from one account to another.
Speaker 2: So pick your favorite and then you can go into.
Speaker 3: Settings, Media and Purchases and tap view account and then
Speaker 3: there's like a new migrate purchases option, So basically you
Speaker 3: can move everything over to the new account or the
Speaker 3: you know, whichever account you prefer, and then you can
Speaker 3: use that from now on. So this is kind of
Speaker 3: a big shift because for many it's been kind of
Speaker 3: tough to change things about your Apple account, including your
Speaker 3: email address.
Speaker 2: So I'm all for.
Speaker 1: This, Okay, Well, yeah, less is more in my opinion.
Speaker 1: And I just mentioned to Wake Up Call listeners that
Speaker 1: there is a reason that they need to get their
Speaker 1: news from us here on KFI, and that's because AI
Speaker 1: gets it wrong. Sometimes.
Speaker 2: It gets it wrong a.
Speaker 3: Lot, and as someone who uses AI on a daily basis,
Speaker 3: my kid last night too was just laughing at some
Speaker 3: of the things that it gets wrong, and it does
Speaker 3: it with confidence, and I think that's the scary part
Speaker 3: is that you don't know if it's wrong unless you
Speaker 3: know what's wrong about it. BBC did a study and
Speaker 3: they looked at CHATCHYBT, Copilot from Microsoft, Gemini from Google,
Speaker 3: and Perplexity and they basically fed them stories from the
Speaker 3: BBC website and then kind of had journalists look and
Speaker 3: see what was right and what was wrong. And they
Speaker 3: said there were significant inaccuracies and distortions and fifty one
Speaker 3: percent of all AI answers to questions about the news
Speaker 3: had significant issues. Nineteen percent of AI answers had factual errors.
Speaker 3: And who did the best, well, who did the worst?
Speaker 3: Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini. Okay, chat GBT and Perplexity
Speaker 3: did a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's a question for you, rich. If you
Speaker 1: say you want chat GPT to give you a news
Speaker 1: story or something, can you then ask the AI to
Speaker 1: fact check check itself.
Speaker 3: You can, Yes, you can, and it will go and
Speaker 3: take a second look. On Google, they actually have this
Speaker 3: built in, so Google knew that this was a problem.
Speaker 3: And so if you look at any answer from Gemini,
Speaker 3: there is a little Google Search button at the bottom
Speaker 3: and if you tap that, it will go through and
Speaker 3: fact check everything.
Speaker 2: So oh interesting, they changed it.
Speaker 3: They actually now it says double check response on Google,
Speaker 3: so if you tap that, it will then search Google
Speaker 3: for the response and highlight any inaccuracies or errors.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of smart in that aspect.
Speaker 3: With chat GBT, you could just ask to reconsider, say hey,
Speaker 3: can you check that, check those facts and it We'll
Speaker 3: go out and double check them that.
Speaker 1: Way, So he's kind of like Sanna making a list
Speaker 1: in checking it twice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not automatically.
Speaker 3: So the reality is these things just come up with
Speaker 3: answers sometimes that they seem like they're right and they're not.
Speaker 1: Okay, so make sure you be careful you do double check,
Speaker 1: okayf tech guy is rich Demiro and you can hear
Speaker 1: him every Saturday from eleven to two right here, it's
Speaker 1: Rich on Tech and you can also see him on KTLA.
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Instagram at rich on tech,
Speaker 1: and you can get information about all the stuff he
Speaker 1: talks about on his website rich on tech dot tv.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rich Damuro. Thanks Amy, have a great take
Speaker 2: you too,
