No they don’t, they call it AI right at the top of the page advertising it on their website.

https://www.apple.com/apple-intelligence/

Of course not

Suppose they learned from calling siri an Ai

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

So I've been at a corporate offsite all week. I'm sick of hearing about "alpha" and "genai". Business and leadership are so up their own asses. I've been holding back so long on asking a question around the general morality of the bed they're making. I'm so curious where the future is going to go. We are in an arms race when it comes to LLMs

How about "Apple Idiocracy" ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Of course not. They didn't think of it but they name their shit so it abbreviates to it. What a bunch of pretentious assholes.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you acronymize "Apple Intelligence", you will get AI. They were probably just hiding it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They always rebrand features for marketing, you aren't in a video chat you're FaceTiming™. You aren't talking with AI you're talking with Apple Intelligence™.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now let's add these words to the dictionary because everyone will use them.

Duh, I'm kidding, "Apple Intelligence" is a silly name anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Facetiming is pretty commonly used i think

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I do hear it quite a lot

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

iA. Gotta stick with the naming convention. IntelliApple or some thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

IntelliApple

Reminds me of the Microsoft IntelliMouse. Man I'm old.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And IntelliSync, so you could have the same contacts in your PC and your Palm Pilot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Never heard of IntelliSync, I've used HotSync though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"intelligence Artificielle" in French

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Well they could have went with the Canadian version and called it Enhanced Hardware Intelligence or Eh-I for short

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

... or BI for better Intelligence, CI for common intelligence .... YI for yummy intelligence, ZI for zoomers intelligence ...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (2 children)

couldn't you at least choose a name with different initials?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

iIntelligence?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's the whole point. They'll try to take over the AI brand by doing this.

"So what does AI actually stand for? "

"It stands for Apple Intelligence, of course!"

"Wow, Apple really is everywhere, they are so good and competent."

This will happen too often.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

The worst part about this is us calling it "Apple intelligence" ironically will make idiots believe that to be correct.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yeah but then it doesn't make sense to refuse to call it AI.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It does, because now it's their own thing.

So instead of having what everyone else is having, they have their own and also hijack theirs, because Apple put the company name in it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

It's ok. Everyone else will do it for them.
