reply> since you can't select text in most delivery apps on iOS
This is all you need to know about mobile to understand we're in a complete duopoly that desperately needs a modern "ma bell" style breakup.
The fuckers who make these devices have zero interest in allowing you to do anything other than spend money with them, of which they will take their cut.
The whole thing feels optimized for trapping users, not enabling them.
To be fair to the fuckers who make these devices, that anti-feature is a choice made by the fuckers who run the delivery apps. Whether text is selectable within an app is up to the app maker.
replyThat's not really "shopping using AI" in any meaningful sense. Or at least it's not in the same spirit as what's being discussed.
replyWell the other day I used my computer to do a sum, I didn't even know the result, it just gave it to me! Isn't that AGI/ASI? /s

replyHave you tried learning the local language?
replyThere isn’t a local language - a quick scan of Grab in Kuala Lumpur shows menus in Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil, English.. Items are entered in a language that suits the food vendor, not necessarily “the local language”. It’s obviously nice if you don’t need translation, but learning a language in five minutes casually scrolling a menu is a tall order, and most locals don't speak 4 languages so they benefit massively from translation just as foreigners do.
