ccording to Bloomberg, Apple is cooking up some serious AI magic for its Xcode programming software. Now, you might be wondering, what's the buzz with generative AI? Well, picture this - you throw a natural language request at your iOS or macOS device, just like shooting the breeze with your buddy on WhatsApp. Want a weather report or need to pull off some ninja moves deep within your apps? Generative AI could make it happen!
But hold your horses, that's not all. Apple's eyeing not just behind-the-scenes programming tricks but also wants to sprinkle some generative AI fairy dust on consumer-facing products. Imagine playlists that magically craft themselves on Apple Music, slideshows in Keynote that practically read your mind, or a Spotlight search that feels more like chatting with a savvy AI buddy.
Now, Apple's been a bit low-key compared to its tech buddies Google and Microsoft when it comes to AI chatter. But here's the scoop - they've dropped some cool stuff lately. Think MLX, a handy machine learning framework, an AI model named MGIE that plays Picasso with text-to-image editing, and a slick AI animator dubbed Keyframer.
But wait, there's more! Apple's tool in the making, akin to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and Amazon's CodeWhisperer, is set to revolutionize coding. It's like having a super-smart buddy predict and complete lines of code, maybe even whip up some code to test your apps. Big stuff, right?
Microsoft's GitHub Copilot already has a fan club of 1 million paying users. They've even jazzed it up with real-time guidance for coders. And guess what? More exciting AI news is on the horizon at Microsoft's Build 2024 event in May. As for Apple, the buzz is they might spill more AI secrets during their annual WWDC event later this year.
