Having worked there this is a perfect description of the organization from my experience.

100% agree

Risk of embarrassment is too great to be vibe coding, apple's brand is TRUST and people don't trust AI... A slip like this erodes their brand

Not really, almost all active software developers use AI nowadays.

  The research surveyed 121.000 developers across 450+ companies. A striking 92.6% of them use an AI coding assistant at least once a month, and roughly 75% use one weekly

It's weird to believe that large corporations should be ashamed to use AI.

It's a standard engineering practice, otherwise it's like if you refuse autocomplete because autocomplete is not right 100% of the time.

[engineer_22]

Please don't misunderstand, I agree with you. Myself, I use AI daily.

My point is:

Apple's customers aren't ready for that.

They don't understand the nuance.

And they don't think they should pay for a computer to do the work instead of a human, because "computers work for free".

Divert to the mean, race to the bottom. Produce garbage and try to scam people. It is standard engineering practice

[einsteinx2]

Especially considering that Apple added it as a headline feature to the latest Xcode releases…
