Off topic somewhat, but if you're an Apple shareholder, beware of the BlackRock board nominee. They already have one and that's too many. We don't want them to do to Apple what they did to Boeing.

AppleInsider said: "The Joe Rogan Experience" is chiefly controversial because it allegedly included misinformation about the coronavirus. Neil Young and other artists removed their music from Spotify as a consequence, and the firm apologized, but did not remove the misinformation. 

LOL..."chiefly"? His show is a celebration of lunatic conspiracy theories. Rogan is one of those people that claims the moon landing was faked.

It's fairly obvious that Apple is rushing out at least a half-baked something in order to claim "we do AI too, just like those other guys," and for the silliest of reasons: Prop up a stock price.

Apple the corporation doesn't get a cent more if the stock goes up, or a penny less if it goes down. But Cook and the rest of the upper management team certainly does, with much of their pay coming in the form of company stock rather than cash. Thus we have these kinds of kneejerk things announced by them now instead of the slow and steady development without broadcasting the internal baby steps that we typically expect from Apple.

It's silly when Samsung/Google/random tech company, responds to some new Apple service or product with "Hey, look what we're working on, it's just as good!" and equally as silly when Apple turns around and does the same thing.

I wonder how much Apple invests per year into this effort.
