Ease of use!? That was the old Apple.

Tim Cook's over-promising under-delivering Apple will probably add advertisements in the Dock and probably the local search will present sponsored links first as in all the other search boxes. That CEO is so desperate to generate mo' money now that his 'new products' turn out to be failures (like the Car, AI, Vision), but 'service revenue' needs to be pumped up (so far without any tariffs).

Looking at the current political landscape I have my doubts OpenAI will win this face since President (in fact) Leon Musk hates OpenAI, since they won't let him play along any longer. 
Then again the master of the felt pen Donald tRump can be bought, so they might have a chance.

Realistically ... comparing 'Artificial' vs. 'Natural' Intelligence, what would be the difference. Experts read books, articles etc. to form their knowledge base on which they reach new conclusions. That also happens in schools everywhere (or am I supposed to believe, that kids have personally witnessed all the events they write essays about)!?

Humans then use this knowledge base to invent new stuff, improve on that and last but not least earning money for using that knowledge.

So what's the difference?

Apple has lost it's edge. Remembering the days where it was at the verge of death, essentially 'betting the company' (Steve Jobs) on new product categories that are the true reasons for Apple's turnaround. Nowadays they are essentially drowning in money and spend tons on overcomplicated underimpressive stuff that are more often than not failures (like the car).
Obviously all the truly creative people are gone and the whole thing is coordinated by the CEO bean counter that doesn't care about the products. Instead we're getting more and more money grabs to milk the customers and pushing money to shareholders with stock buybacks (that essentially cover the slowing growth due to lack of products.)

Gruber is correct. The Apple is rotten.

So Apple Vision is even worse off than I thought. They dug in the bottom of the barrel to get something for that thing.

Looks like Leon Murks is better at making deals ... he bought a whole government including freedom from legal controls and investigation and lots of taxpayer money for his shitty cars/rockets/satellites at the prise of $18+ billion for just $300 mil instead of almost nothing for $500 billion.
