NatGeo’s Brain Games on the Road host, Chuck Nice, is a comedian and TV personality who geeks out over astronomy, artificial intelligence (AI), and other scholarly topics. A past guest on Ted Talk, Nice is hyperaware of how technology affects the human psyche and how mega-corps use technology as a tool of manipulation.
“We are actually teaching machines how to think, how to understand our behavior, how to defend themselves, and even practice deception! What could possibly go wrong?” Nice questioned sarcastically during a 2018 Ted Talk titled, “A Funny Look at the Unintended Consequences of Technology.”
Nice loves his Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but recently went on record to explain why he’s exchanging his beloved Samsung for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Why? Because he said he wants a phone with industry-leading cameras to compensate for the lights in a room when he’s on stage. The backlighting complicates images, but Nice says the iPhone does the best job rendering them usable: “That Apple phone takes a good picture,” said Nice, adding that the process for changing the camera settings to his liking is quicker on iOS. “Samsung is like, ‘You can do [the same thing on Android], but there’s four more steps.’”
We’ll have to wait and see if Nice finds more that he loves with the iPhone besides the camera. Still, it’s a good starting point, and one that Apple has been milking ever since the 13 Pro Max’s initial release.
