> It is no secret that Apple operates with hundreds of siloed teams in order to maintain individual domain expertise. The teams then come together in a collaborative manner to bring together the final products.
Having worked there this is a perfect description of the organization from my experience.
> So yes, it is likely true that SOME teams use SOME LLM for SOME tasks. It is a viable argument from R&D and other perspectives.

100% agree
- engineer_22 5mo agoRisk of embarrassment is too great to be vibe coding, apple's brand is TRUST and people don't trust AI... A slip like this erodes their brand
- rvnx 5mo agoNot really, almost all active software developers use AI nowadays. The research surveyed 121.000 developers across 450+ companies. A striking 92.6% of them use an AI coding assistant at least once a month, and roughly 75% use one weekly It's weird to believe that large corporations should be ashamed to use AI. It's a standard engineering practice, otherwise it's like if you refuse autocomplete because autocomplete is not right 100% of the time.
- einsteinx2 5mo agoEspecially considering that Apple added it as a headline feature to the latest Xcode releases…
- ozgrakkurt 5mo agoDivert to the mean, race to the bottom. Produce garbage and try to scam people. It is standard engineering practice
- engineer_22 5mo agoPlease don't misunderstand, I agree with you. Myself, I use AI daily. My point is: Apple's customers aren't ready for that. They don't understand the nuance. And they don't think they should pay for a computer to do the work instead of a human, because "computers work for free".
