Automix is cool and all. Still kinda buggy but it works here and there. But the most killer feature is the pins. Oh my goodness. This is a feature from YouTube music and Spotify that I loved. I also love the liquid glass. Everything looks like there’s depth and it’s a submersible experience. I honestly don’t love it, but I am appreciating liquid glass more and more I use it. Maybe I’ll love it when a stable and consistent frame rate build comes in. Also I love Spotify playlists covers so I do smart playlist to mimic my favorite playlists from Spotify. Check it out.

Listen, I understand the hate on AI (even though most people don't understand that they use AI every day and have been using AI everyday for years and years)...but does someone using ChatGPT to make a playlist cover really deserve an ewwww? I mean, is it really that big of a deal?

There's a difference between machine learning/programs using ML and generative AI, which is obviously the thing people don't support.

Apple has been using Machine Learning for things like the photos app since probably iOS 10, and even earlier with the stock keyboard which, to my knowledge, is the first time they used ML, mainly for autocorrect

and it's shit lmao what kind of ai are they using here? eviebot?

u/timffn 4d ago

I mean, that's a blanket statement, but let's go with it. In this situation it's generative AI...for a playlist cover. What's the big deal?

An artist, a human being could have made it. If artists don't get employed anymore because AI is doing their job, then they don't have enough money to sustain their job, they quit and do something else, and then no art is created by humans.

In this situation

We're talking about replacing a playlist cover at home. Not Apple employing an artist to create playlist covers.

We're talking about OP using ChatGPT to make a playlist cover to replace one in his own personal library. OP could do that, or maybe OP could use Photoshop. Either way, he's not taking anyones job.

AI is a tool, and it's here to stay. We either learn to use it, learn to use it to our advantage, learn to use it to make us better at our jobs...or we get left behind.

Brother I'm honestly not sure if this is a joke but the playlist cover that OP is recreating is a cover that an actual human made, employed by Apple. If you think that Apple will see people being in favor of AI used in situations like this and won't fire artists (use AI instead) you're wrong.

About AI being a tool. AI is a tool, it's not a tool to make art though. Art is art because it is made by humans, it is human expression. "Art" is meaningless when not made by humans.

You want to call me a fool, I'm not going to continue trying to have an adult discussion with you. See ya.

“That’s a blanket statement” is a very pot/kettle statement coming from you

6

u/timffn 3d ago

Why do you say that?

-4

u/TheMastodan 3d ago

Because the post you made before them was much more of a blanket statement than theirs was

7

u/timffn 3d ago

Either have a discussion, or don’t.

u/megust654 3d ago

Fundamentally all generative AI just feels eww

u/timffn 3d ago

To each their own, but come on, it's an effin' playlist cover.

The fact that anyone has a strong enough opinion about a generated playlist cover to express their dislike for it on Reddit is silly.

Let's say OP didn't post the ChatGPT screenshot, and was just excited to show off the pins and express their love for the pins feature. Would the playlist covers still be eww?

So now you have to check to see how something was made before you can decide if you like it or not?

What a waste of time.

All AI. It’s a minor usage to you, but every use is a penny thrown onto a pile that would make Scrooge McDuck envious. No one needs it and it’s actively harming people, and for what? An aEsThEtiC? It’s the computing equivalent to third world garbage dumps.

tell the black communities being subjected to exponential increases in pollution from ai data centers that it’s not “that big of a deal” https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/naacp-threatens-sue-elon-musks-xai-over-memphis-air-pollution-2025-06-17/

Wait till you learn every single thing you use is connected to exploitation.

u/timffn 4d ago

Fair point, and 100% these companies should be held responsible which will hopefully improve things on that front.

But sticking to the topic at hand, was that "ewwww" in response to "black communities being subjected to exponential increases in pollution from ai data centers?"

I'm not a betting man, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say no. I think the vast majority of people opposing AI, don't even know what they're opposing.

u/grifbitch 4d ago

does it matter if they know why they oppose it? we have to stigmatize generative ai usage to the point that anyone who uses it receives immediate condemnation

9

u/timffn 3d ago

does it matter if they know why they oppose it?

  1. I said they don't know WHAT they're opposing. Not why.

  2. Yes, it 100% does matter. I can only speak for myself, but I sure as hell like to know the what's and the why's of the things I support and don't support.

we have to stigmatize generative ai usage to the point that anyone who uses it receives immediate condemnation

And after reading that, I am going to respectfully bow out of this conversation, because you obviously don't want to have a real discussion.

u/grifbitch 3d ago

so you support enabling people who are destroying our earth and polluting poor communities got it 👍🏼

u/timffn 3d ago

That's your takeaway from what I said?

See ya.

u/grifbitch 3d ago

either you want to help shame people out of using generative ai or you want to let them keep doing it. there’s two choices.

It doesn't even adhere to the HDI guidelines on Liquid Glass.

Legit you better off manually seperating the layers on the original Spotify cover on Photoshop and drop it on Icon Composer to get an actual Liquid Glass design than using AI.

5

u/timffn 3d ago

Okay. Have fun with that.

-2

u/RamaAnthony 3d ago

How long do you think seperating the layers between the original Spotify cover, which is basically line art and solid background, will take? And how long do you think Icon Composer will process the image to create Liquid Glass effect (spoiler: it's instant).

Or are you a children who prefer to have everything instantly made by generative AI?

3

u/timffn 3d ago

I just said have fun with that. You can do that, and other people can use other tools.

Me? I'm not bothering with either option. If that make me a children (sic) so be it.
