Apple's Neural Engine and the CoreML framework to leverage it are almost a decade old now.

Apple Intelligence was a rebrand, and Apple has made some unique decisions rolling it out.

For instance, the new chatbot version of Siri's hallucinations were seen as unacceptable, so its release was delayed.

Is a chatbot that provides false information regularly really an advancement?

Apple chose not to do photorealistic generative images, so they can't be used for deepfakes.

Apple chose not to add a feature to write text for you, just one to clean up what you write, because they don't want to help kids in school cheat.

That is definitely true, but some time ago Apple’s marketing team has also put out some pretty cringey commercials to the contrary. It’s wild how they seemed to be encouraging people to cheat and hide their ineptitudes, rather than just being honest about it.

As far as I'm concerned, I would rather see the industry prioritize AI that doesn't provide false information over pushing slop out as quickly as possible.

Hell, there are chatbots out there trying to convince kids that suicide is a great idea.

How is prioritizing pushing out slop as quickly as possible with no consideration of the consequences acceptable?
