I want AI to help me figure things out. Not make things up for me.
Apple is clearly looking at the figuring out part - a lot of useful features were presented (albeit with a lot of future tense in the statements). A big plus that it's being done in a private context.
But it's the made up art where everyone (rightly) focuses their attention. Given the huge number of creative people using Apple products, taking away our collective imagination feels like a huge misstep.
@chockenberry Not sure how this is different to the AI musicians in GarageBand. Or GitHub copilot.
Professionals might sneer at the output of a generative model. But for amateur it’s empowering.
There's an awful lot of elitism in an awful lot of sneering at the moment.
Excellent, glad to hear it.
But many people (the vast majority) aren't elite, and “good enough" is evidently more than good enough for people who just want to enjoy themselves.
Denigration of utilities that may help the quotidien is just obnoxious.
