Please, Apple doesn’t have to be the best at everything, and it’s fine to say they got blindsided. Everyone other than OpenAI / Microsoft was surprised at how good GPT4 is at a lot of tasks.
Apple straight up isn’t a machine leaning company. Let’s not beat around the bush. Sure, they have the neural engine and some acceleration used in iPhones, but every phone on the market ships with that. It’s not some unique innovation like large language models and transformers have been. Siri is a great example here.
Apple is behind because this isn’t something they’ve seen a reason to care about beyond image processing. It’s fine because the sooner they admit that, the sooner they can work on a solution that actually is competitive. Let’s not blindly give Apple a pass in something that Meta and Google are already scrambling for, and OpenAI is actively thrashing everyone in.
