Shocker, another CEO pushing for GenAI with little to no understanding of what the technology actually is. CEO's and upper management have long pushed for things they don't understand (see Crypto). But at least in the past the worst case scenario was wasted money and a failed initiative. Now it is putting out 'tools' that are borderline dangerous (See Google) and/or poorly conceived and infringes on other people's work.

I don’t get what he is saying. Did the underlying design system contain all the widgets from Apple’s weather app that the LLM then pieced together?

  That's exactly how I read it. Sounds like they have a set of underlying templates to train from, and one of those must have been some type of Apple Weather app recreation.
