I noticed this recently when I saw someone post with an AI generated map of Europe which was all wrong. I tried the same and asked ChatGPT to generate a map of Ireland and it was wrong too. So then I asked to find me some accurate maps of Ireland and instead of generating it gave me images and links to proper websites.

Will definitely be remembering to put "generate" vs "find" in my prompts depending on what I'm looking for. Not quite sure how you would train the model to know which answer is more suitable.

You’re right, it doesn’t mean active.

It’s possible many of those users did not grant the contact tracing permission on the phone when installing. But I’m assuming anyone who went to both of installing would be open to allowing it. They could also have uninstalled 10 mins later. I don’t know how the number is being calculated.

I’m on iOS and keep app installs on my phone to a minimal but haven’t noticed battery drain so far. Android my differ.

Also your phone can collect the data by enabling in Settings > Privacy > Health > COVID-19 without the app at all.

Not that I’m aware of. The app just reads the data your phone is already collecting.

It’s making use of the api that Apple and Google added to iOS and Android. Which I believe once enabled is using Bluetooth beacons to keep a list of other phones you have been nearby. That’s all done by phone, not the app.

If you test positive, then you are expected to use the app to upload the list of phones you were in contact with. Notifications will then be sent to all those phones through the app.

I live in Ireland and our contact tracing app (using Google+Apple tech) seems to be doing well. There was about 1 million install 1-2 days after it launched, currently standing at 1.4 million installs (population is 4.9 million), along with some positive contacts reported:

It was also donated to open source.

While that is useful I think each country will face its own challenges with adoption.
