Jason Snell, writing about how Apple may frame the announcements next week at WWDC:

Apple has the chance to depict itself as the adult in the room, a company committed to using AI for features that make its customers’ lives better–not competing to do the best unreproducible magic trick on stage.

It’s probably a safe bet that Apple will do all the obvious things with AI: on-device models for developers to use, integration with iWork apps, something with Photos. But it’s anyone’s guess how far they will actually go, especially with Siri, or potentially even brand new apps.

@manton Anyone’s guess how far they’ll go with AI? Here’s my guess:

@manton I really hope you are right. I don’t want Apple to plug a bunch of hard to disable deeply integrated AI cruft.

I get the use case and am having a bit of a revolution on how I view Copilot. But it needs to be easily controlled by the user. Most tech companies are turning it on and making it hard to disable.

@manton They'll call their specially crafted AI "Apple Intelligence." 😉
