    Apple Intelligence is some PC watered down crappy AI Gen. Apple Intelligence is worthless

      you do not have to use it. genmoji is just a nice fun feature. not everything has to be military-grade practical to be useful.

    Try imputing this: Light pink long cylindrical object with veins, dome on top. The dome has white liquid dripping out.

    I don’t see many adults using Apple’s AI Emoji and Image Playground, at list not more than once. its just a gimmick

    I used image playground to make an image from a GWAR song lyric.
    Maggots are falling like rain.

    That got me something interesting

    I was able to make an image of a Ducati motorcycle. I was surprised it did not copyright me. It did not actually say Ducati, but it looked like one.

    Am I the only one whenever I use Genmoji, my phone starts to get hot from the back. The more I use it, the screen will then dims due to the temperature of the phone ????????‍♂️ I have a iPhone 16 Pro btw

    The app is so pointless. If I were 10years old, egnemoji might be cool but I am definitely not 10 years old.

    Fun video, useless features.. All we want from apple is longer battery life and higher refresh rate. Sadly, this is what we got ????

    So the new features aren’t meant for adults? All I see are childish pictures and writing tools that are clearly made for the uneducated who can’t even string a sentence together. Pretty colours and rainbows everywhere are not for me and it just typifies Apple’s outlook on the world which is all sweetness and roses. I need my phone for business and I’ll save playtime for my kids.

    95% to 80% battery reduction in just 10 minutes and generates a lot of heat while creating images in playground. you can’t even touch the phone’s back side because of the heat.

    – Localized generative ai is good for plugged-in devices with proper cooling, better go for cloud based AI, good for battery and overall device longevity.

    NONE of my Genmoji’s look like me. Based on my Genmoji, I look like a hot supermodel. Oh how disappointed you’d be if you met me in person…. Btw, you can no longer do the Minnie Mouse ears. ☹️

    Wow why are you so uptight on the blue eyes! Why should it be right! This playground thing is supposed to be fun! Stop your racial identity with just u!
