To me, this was not enough of a forward look. I want the full system AI integration but they did not articulate it. Yes they said it will appear here and there - and it will take time. As lstream mentioned above, I too think they’re behind. Also, I’m disappointed sponge is back spewing the same inanities as five six seven years ago when he was predicting options action on earnings and faired poorly.

So why was the Store Down? Yeah! They got me all excited for nothing. Usually store comes down when a surprise product is being added. Today, nothing.

Caution to all. I continue to believe AI is over-hyped. And few understand what it really is. AI is cloaked in fancy words which to the lay audience mean nothing really.
It is basically a statistical method for creating content and has some randomness it by its nature. Because of the randomness, often it exhibits some odd properties to a user. It is not a salvation.

I'm feeling pretty upbeat about all the announcements today. I think the integration of AI capabilities is going to drive real demand upside. The AI we see today is going to look rudimentary compared to the AI we experience in the not-too-distant future. For good and for bad, this is not a flash in the pan.
On a personal note, I'm glad I didn't renew my 1Password subscription yet ; )

It is basically a statistical method for creating content and has some randomness it by its nature. Because of the randomness, often it exhibits some odd properties to a user. It is not a salvation. I’m not going to be concerned about how it does what it does. Or that it’s not a “salvation”. As an end user, I won’t care. And if it screws up once in a while, what’s the downside? For example, when it re-writes something for me, I’m going to be presented with an alternative. Nothing forces me to accept it. Same with when it helps me with a photo editing technique, that I don’t know how to do myself. Again, what is the downside here? Or the alternative. Is Apple just supposed to sit around and do nothing? Of course it’s overhyped. Standard hype cycle stuff. But we are in a time where massive compute power is in our hands. That enables entirely new ways of thinking and getting things done. Of course there will be hits and misses. But the trajectory is upwards in terms of actual user benefit. One just needs to separate the hype (like the Humane nonsense), from actual useful functionality. Which I think Apple is going to do. Under end user final control. This kind of reminds me of what I heard from more senior engineers than me, early in my engineering career. The topic was weather forecasting. Supposedly a weather forecast that just said “same as yesterday” was more accurate than government weather forecasts. So their thinking was to stop wasting money, and simply do “same as yesterday”. Let’s say that this would be more accurate at the time. But the fatal flaw in that argument, was it eliminated the idea that weather forecasting would incrementally get better. No one could possibly make that “same as yesterday” comment today. I feel the same way about AI. Especially in Apple’s hands. Don’t like what it does today? Then ignore it if you like. But I’m willing to bet that all kinds of skeptics will be silenced 2,3 or 5 years from now by what AI will do for them. And we can’t get there unless we start. Warts and all. And again, what is the alternative? Do nothing?

Integration with Open AI is great but not clear on the level or process . WS was not impressed. +$5 now in real trading. Wall Street was sooooo unimpressed. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Uh huh.
