I love Apple bashing. I really do. People complaining about one of the most successful companies on Earth having some of the most-loved products. They may as well just wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "I'm Stupid!" You certainly want to keep those people away from your business because they don't understand success. Getting back to TFA, actually AI is the killer feature for a keyboard-challenged device such as the iPhone and iPad. Why use your fingers to tap, gesture, and manipulate when you can simply speak what to do? The catch, of course, is whether Apple can actually make it work. It's been a while since anyone has been impressed by Siri, so we'll see. But integrating AI across your local system to improve your workflow? That's actually pretty damn genius - if they can make it work. Apple is stellar in the world of hardware, but unfortunately, they're still hit-or-miss in the world of software. Here's hoping that "Apple Intelligence" is a hit!

> I love Apple bashing. I really do. People complaining about one of the most successful companies on Earth having some of the most-loved products. They may as well just wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "I'm Stupid!" Stupid is who agrees with everything blindly just because they were done by "successful" entities. Sure, why use your brain when you can get an answer by simply speaking to an AI assistant?

  People said the same thing about calculators back in the day. They were wrong then and they're wrong now. Besides, I was talking about a UI - and speech is the most human and natural UI there is. Extremely powerful.

    > People said the same thing about calculators back in the day. They were wrong then and they're wrong now. This is the most copy-pasted sentence on the internet. Do you have any sensible argument?

      Actually, in grade school I was part of the study that proved calculators enhanced mathematical performance. This was back in the 70s. So for me, it's a real experience and not just copy-paste argument and that experience has made a very lasting impression on me. Like I said, the naysayers were full of it back then, and they're full of it now.

Same, but for McDonalds.
