I haven't seen a scathing takedown article like this for a while, and it's all the more so because the author, John Gruber, has to my mind long been an Apple proponent, not to mention one of the more respected voices in the field of design and technology. But he's right when he says Apple is lost on AI, and he's right when he says it points to deeper problems in the company. "What Apple showed regarding the upcoming 'personalized Siri' at WWDC was not a demo. It was a concept video. Concept videos are bullshit, and a sign of a company in disarray, if not crisis."
