Above is un-paywalled.

Not much in these rumors, but it’s fun to see how much AI kool aid Gurman has swallowed.

Take the "Apple" out of the first part of the thread title and you have a simply obvious statement.

Some more AI rumors from Gurman. The update to Shortcuts to allow you to just tell it what you want the shortcut to do is probably the most useful. (Shortcuts can be a pain-in-the-ass to write, but mainly, IMHO, because it lacks normal looping and case/switch commands so things can get unwieldy fast.)
