Now we know why Apple announced they’re stopping work on the Apple Car. Looks like they’re going all in on A.I. Makes sense I guess.
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook Says Apple Will 'Break New Ground' in Generative AI
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
There's a gym nearby that has had a sign up for over ten years of their new expansion that's "coming soon." Funnily enough, the words, "breaking ground" might be on the sign, too. The sign's been there so long that the sun has bleached it out.
Apple's PR talk about their AI investments remind me of that sign. I'll believe it when I see it.

They can barely release a stable version of iOS. I will be pessimistic until proven otherwise at WWDC.
I think people are skeptical because we've see enough INACTION from Apple and not enough "in action".Gee lots of negativity this afternoon. At least wait until you see it in action before you make judgements

Is it just me or is anyone else sick of hearing about AI, I know it’s exciting but can we at least get homepods to allow us to see how long a timer is in another room
I'm a little optimistic because there have been instances before where Apple rolled out something that was so bad, and they redeemed themselves later on. MobileMe was a disaster, but they came back with iCloud. Apple Maps was awful, but they overhauled it and now lots of people say it's better than Google Maps. Apple knows the lame reputation Siri has and they have to come out with something big in AI.
Given how Disney-esque Apple tries to be with some of their content/curation and how they apparently felt so strongly about expressing the "right" views to fire Jon Stewart... are we to then expect their AI to actually be worthwhile and interesting?
Like if I told it to draw me up a map of Taiwan, is it going to correct me with "Taipei"? I'm being facetious, but at the same time, it seems Apple does a lot to protect their business ventures and properties that I can't help but feel this might be a Fisher Price take on AI. I guess what I'm saying is if it's just Gemini 2, I don't want it.

If generative AI is Apple's future, then I don't think I see Apple in my future anymore.
Some of Tim's other predictions have fallen a bit short honestly ..

Apple's Cook on the iPad Pro: 'Why would you buy a PC anymore?'
With the new tablet going on sale this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook touts it as a replacement for desktop and laptop computers. But what about iMacs and MacBooks?

Seems like AI processing and enhancements are quite diverse, not like Apple needs to copycat others AI parties activities that have people concerned. .
Honestly, the only reason I still use a MacBook at this point is because I still buy a lot of physical CDs and need to upload them to my library. But 90% of the time, I'm using my iPad Pro.Some of Tim's other predictions have fallen a bit short honestly ..

Maybe I am already too old, but all the AI stuff I saw so far is something I play around with for a while and the I am already bored. If AI can detect cancer better than any doctor and save lives, it is a fantastic thing, but if AI generates stuff, it seems much less useful for me.
AI for example could create an endless amount of adult content, but it gets pretty uninteresting if you know that all those people do not really exist. I am extremely annoyed by AI content on Instagram. I see a nice futuristic building, car or whatever and then learn that it does not really exist.

interpretation: "please stop selling and shorting our stock"
Al Gore is being replaced by an AI-powered version of Al Gore; which ironically sounds (and looks) identical.
Breaking new ground is a promising upgrade over breaking old ground.
Maybe they should have shown it in action before boasting then.Gee lots of negativity this afternoon. At least wait until you see it in action before you make judgements
Good luck finding a tech company that isn't AI focused for the next few years.
I find the current crop of AI stuff to be surprisingly useful and fun. Is it somewhat troublesome? Sure. But you can't put the genie back in the bottle so might as well go full steam ahead.
So, come WWDC when it becomes clear Apple has been working on this for years without running to the media about it, what will the MR community reaction be?
I’d love to circle back here to see what people were saying at the time…

But more seriously: tag all such music as "holiday" or similar, then create a smart playlist of "my music" that excludes all genre "holiday." That will completely solve that problem in a very easy way.
