@morrick Almost everything you wrote here hits home for me.

@digitalsnow Thank you very much for reading! I’m glad it resonated with you. Sometimes I wonder if I’m the weird one.

@morrick Agreed on the AI doing simple, human tasks for us and how gross and unappealing it is (to me). All of Apple's examples are so weirdly tone-deaf or cringe-inducing. Software innovation at Apple is moribund at best. But at least they made the corners on Mac windows smaller.

The only truly useful thing from visual segment was "add these dates to my calendar" from a photo of a poster (I nearly built an app like that myself
)And they never went for rather obvious things like "I have this in my fridge, what can I cook" or "what's this plant" a la https://www.picturethisai.com/ (genuinely useful, I use it a lot)

@morrick Well said. The one point of slight disagreement is on the parental controls. You said you’re not a parent, but let me assure you, once kids hit middle school, *everything* in their lives is arranged through WhatsApp groups. With our eldest we held fast and joined the groups in our kid’s stead; we bailed after a year and got him his own phone, and locked it down as best we could. The controls were rough then, but they’ve been getting better, and further improvement is welcome.

@dmitriid Agreed. Apple, in all those ‘AI’ examples, managed to show lack of imagination and failure to portray everyday life at the same time.

@riotnrrd Your point of view as a parent is highly appreciated. I kept that part of my article short because I didn’t want to talk out of my arse too much and sound too prescriptive while having no skin in the game, so to speak.

@stanjames Yes! The (alas, short) segment about improving the Liquid Glass UI was indeed the only breath of fresh air before the long-winded, meandering, psychedelic AI trip began…
