The smart stuff
iPadOS 18 is the cleverest, most customizable iPadOS yet
APPLE INTELLIGENCE IS Apple’s take on the artificial intelligence (AI) advances that are currently dominating the tech world. When it arrives, it will deliver impressive new features: writing tools in Pages, summarization tools in Mail, image creation in Messages, and a much smarter Siri that’s more knowledgeable and capable of handling more kinds of requests.
Apple Intelligence isn’t the same thing as ChatGPT, although access to that is also coming to iPadOS 18. Apple is clearly wary of giving people unfettered access to the full generative AI features that have led to faked photos and all kinds of copyright infringement. So, for example, the picture generation in the forthcoming Image Playground app won’t let you generate anything shady. However, you will be able to use ChatGPT to create and illustrate on your behalf —for example, by helping you write a letter or story, or illustrating an idea.
