IMO, it was the researcher team's fault, good riddance.

no, I placed this squarely on apple‘s shoulders. There are real use cases for new AI tools that are actually useful. Use cases that Apple is already invested into — Siri, text to speech & vice versa, etc. many of these have open source models that they could very easily be integrating into their product, even if they didn’t have a partnership with the premier AI research lab.

Instead, we got, what? An automated memeoji maker? Holy hell they dropped the ball on this.
