This is probably worse than the App Library - which users should still be able to turn off.
Imagine how many other utterly stupid ideas Apple has rejected in the past few years. I truly appreciate that.
I really want to know why this AI slop keeps being pushed. I want to see the numbers on how many people are seriously leaving Apple to get AI? How many sales has Apple lost? The only compelling AI mobile phone feature I’ve seen that Apple doesn’t have a good
answer to is maybe circle to search. (for the record shortcuts is a far more compelling feature that Android has no compelling answer to bc intents on Android are poor quality).

App Library is useful and out of the way.
Honestly with feature proposals like that I hope they are later.
What specific features are you thinking should be available on Apple platforms that aren’t?
Is Apple behind in search engines too?
"So we have this thing called AI. We don't have a clue what its for, how it works or why we need it but lets use it anyway."
Honestly, this is a good thing. Companies are too busy focusing on shoving AI slop down everyone's throat, instead of focusing on usability and functionality of their core product.
When I want AI, I will specifically open LM Studio. I don't need it forcefully injected into every facet of the OS and UI.
You want companies to use your iPhone to track your movements? Is it so they can show you pop-up ads for sales of items you might be interested in?
How about letting me put the icons anywhere on screen that I want? Also, like others have said, what a dumb idea. Most people can get their icons without looking at their phone since they have muscle memory of where they are. Them constantly moving would be such a pain and time waster.
An idea ahead of its time; forget icons on the home screen - we need AI robots moving our phones to different places around the house.
They should use AI to fix all the bugs and issues in all Apple software since it seems apples human engineers can’t seem to do it themselves.
(Minutes from the Apple design meeting)
What we are going to do is make the icons all really similar and kind of translucent and hard to identify and distinguish from each other….
Then… And this is the best part…
We use AI to dynamically rearrange them all the time.
Galaxy brain stuff here.

Well, I hope he terminated those clowns, or at least banished them to the mail room. It takes an absolute idiot, someone incapable of being creative, and completely not understanding how users interact with a GUI, to come up with such an insane concept.
These are people who are so desperate to come up with something new, so as to impress the boss, that they tossed a turd of an idea at the chalkboard to see if it would stick.
This proposed feature is a sorting algorithm. If a sorting algorithm can be called Artificial Intelligence then what software elements are NOT worthy of being called Artificial Intelligence? At best, this is the triumph of marketing over engineering; at worst, it's a sign that Apple sets a tragically low bar for its "Apple Intelligence".

I love how angry everyone is with something that isn't even going ahead 😂
People are upset because an idea this bad shouldn't even make it out of the initial persons head, to their mouth or anywhere beyond.
Everything should have AI. My AI powered hemorrhoid cream is a game changer!
This is great and all, but can they just fix jiggle mode so when I move an app it doesn’t throw off all my other apps? Especially in control center…
