Apple was caught flat-footed when ChatGPT and other AI tools took the technology industry by storm. But the company is now preparing its response and plans to develop features for its full range of devices. Also: The future of the Mac comes into focus, a cheaper Apple Pencil debuts, and the Vision Pro gets closer.
As somebody who is quite happy to have tested out a lot of LLM related stuff I‘m gonna say we are still very, very, VERY early in the cycle. Although things are seemingly moving fast, Generative AI right now is a thing for early adopters. I don’t see a whole lot of implementations that are well thought through and integrated. The most exciting stuff like LLM agents and AI assistants is nearly inaccessible right now to the broad audience.
I am fine with Apple taking some time to get it right. Their strength is the flawless integration into an ecosystems, not to slap some single feature on top of an existing app and calling it a day.
