MacVoices #23108: MacVoices Live! - Generative AI Use and Samsung's Moon Photos (3) Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Jim Rea had more thoughts on the use of ChatGPT and other generative AIs and where they are appropriately used (as if that's going to stop inappropriate use). Samsung's questionable claims of great moon images as evidence of their phone's photographic capabilities, Google's magic eraser feature, and more have the panel wondering if they are living in a science fiction novel. (Part 3)

Show notes

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, Mark Fuccio, Jim Rea, and Kelly Guimont take a look at a couple hot topics. The Apple community has rallied behind the idea of not asking for refunds on Twitter client subscriptions from some high-profile developers, but seem equally comfortable avoiding paywalls.
