Woof, come up with a better example for this during iOS 18.1 startup, Apple. Sucking all the life out of the “here’s to the crazy ones” piece is a bad look.
Not the worst crime of all time or anything, but not great for those who are upset about AI feature sucking the humanity out of art.
@matt Do people making this realize that Cliff’s Notes was a way to cheat in school, not a cool productivity hack
@matt I think it was a bad example, but I also think outrage is largely unwarranted
Nobody’s writing poems in their notifications
It’s a notification
@countablenewt @matt This. The actual content of notifications is "we think you'd like this tv show" "arrested development is now on netflix" "VLC (1.0.4) is available for testing" "Your local mcdonalds is hiring" all riddled with emojis
@matt the entire thing is ridiculous but average people probably don’t do what they should and manage notification preferences
I’d literally have no use for this because I get virtually none that I don’t want to see the content of and notification grouping is more than enough because I only let like 4 things bother me or interrupt my flow.
It’s an unnecessary solution to a problem they created.
@matt oh no…yeah it’s hard not to read that as the next generation of employees/designers joining and excited to use this text somewhere but not really…idk, treating it with the respect I think it deserves?
I realize how insane it sounds to even say that so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@matt @neven On top of being a tasteless choice, it’s a terrible summary. It obscures the fact that this is a very recognizable Steve Jobs quote; that it was used by Apple in a campaign where it was famously abbreviated to “Think Different” (not “differently”). Summarizing well-known text in this ignorant, context-free way is LESS helpful than just printing it in full. It misses the point.
And it’s not even a poem; it’s a toast. Every part of this is dumb as hell.
