Still love to see your video tuts. Sadly I sold my Macbook and can't continue learning the Xcode but truing to fight with Swift by using online editors and Codecademy. Thanks for your labor, please don't stop posting videos.

Thanks Chris again for your positivity!
For me Siri really is a tricky one because Apple I have always thought if as one of the most secure companies in terms of its user’s data. Also I often stand by the argument of why be afraid of big companies or Siri etc. having my data when I have nothing to hide in it… To be honest I have never actually used Siri practically because I always thought it is a but crap: I would ask it, ‘when was Apple founded’ or another general question and it would say ‘Here is what I found on the web’… It clearly isn’t a hands free thing, and how easy would it be first Apple to set Siri to read me the first result? Or I might ask it ‘where is Logan Botanic garden’ and it says ‘There is nobody in your contacts named Logan’ other something of the like. Anyway I really hope that with a proper AI system Siri is able to do 3 things:
• Understand what I ask it
• Summarise web responses and most importantly
• Work without wifi!!!!
Anyway, that’s my opinion. Chris for another project on your list
• SiriKit course
• App intents course

I would sign up for those

Thank you very much for the mention on your video, Chris! 😃

Correct me if I am wrong, but according to what I have read, Apple Intelligence is done on device if it is small scale and according to apple they are not keeping any data and it never leaves your device (take that as you will). Anything large scale is done on servers that supposably don’t keep your data either. The chat gpt integration is also just siri sending prompts to chat gpt for you, and siri always asks before doing so.

This is correct, I believe

Definitely don’t think coders will become obsolete, but I do think the productive flow of developers will increase. In turn producing more apps as you mentioned and more competition

Hi Chris, Good video, as a fledging developer, I agree with your summary. I am looking forward to checking out Swift Assist, because I think it may help with something I find difficult - navigating Apple APIs. It seems to me that it may be contextual enough to give me choices on properties and methods to choose while I'm right in the middle of building something in Xcode. We'll see.

[@19LloydG]

I agree with your assessment. As far as data privacy and Siri is concerned it boils down to do we trust Apple. Perhaps I’m being naive but I am happy to put my trust in Apple, they may not be perfect but their track record is way better than just about every other big tech company IMO.
It’s very difficult to predict 5 years ahead but I’m sure that the capabilities of AI will have improved significantly and its use will be normal and mainstream. So adapt and survive is the best policy, but that’s nothing new 🙂

[@mario_luis_dev]

one minor correction Chris, on the poll you mentioned iPhone 15, but it’s actually only the Pro and Pro Max models that are getting AI. Even the regular 15 is getting left out
