Woof, come up with a better example for this during iOS 18.1 startup, Apple. Sucking all the life out of the “here’s to the crazy ones” piece is a bad look.
Not the worst crime of all time or anything, but not great for those who are upset about AI feature sucking the humanity out of art.
@matt is this a prank
@matt Do people making this realize that Cliff’s Notes was a way to cheat in school, not a cool productivity hack
@matt I think it was a bad example, but I also think outrage is largely unwarranted
Nobody’s writing poems in their notifications
It’s a notification
@matt “A poem celebrates people who think differently” is just
@matt the entire thing is ridiculous but average people probably don’t do what they should and manage notification preferences
I’d literally have no use for this because I get virtually none that I don’t want to see the content of and notification grouping is more than enough because I only let like 4 things bother me or interrupt my flow.
It’s an unnecessary solution to a problem they created.
@matt
An homage to the sort of creative visionaries no longer employed by Apple.
@matt oh no…yeah it’s hard not to read that as the next generation of employees/designers joining and excited to use this text somewhere but not really…idk, treating it with the respect I think it deserves?
I realize how insane it sounds to even say that so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@mattchristensen For sure, it feels like a perfect example of bad nostalgia IMO.
@matt @neven On top of being a tasteless choice, it’s a terrible summary. It obscures the fact that this is a very recognizable Steve Jobs quote; that it was used by Apple in a campaign where it was famously abbreviated to “Think Different” (not “differently”). Summarizing well-known text in this ignorant, context-free way is LESS helpful than just printing it in full. It misses the point.
And it’s not even a poem; it’s a toast. Every part of this is dumb as hell.
@matt hey man, people are in a hurry these days
