The iPhone Duo is actually a software story

Apple used the word "AI" 41 times during its latest keynote, according to the 9to5Google newsletter Inbox, which argues the newly announced iPhone Duo is fundamentally a software story rather than a hardware one. The newsletter also cited an OECD PISA finding on student AI use and referenced viral Elizabeth Holmes deepfakes circulating on Reddit and X.

Good morning, how did you sleep? Me, I had trouble until I started counting the number of times Apple used the word “AI” in its keynote https://youtu.be/39BalPDuTo0 it was 41 . In my dream, I was inundated with Elizabeth Holmes deepfakes https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialInteligence/comments/1wazprv/artificial2026/ and memes https://x.com/Flynnjamm/status/2097765891937382877 , which startled me awake. As I lay in bed, I calmed down by reading about how AI will “kill us all by the end of the decade, https://x.com/hilbertspaess/status/2097476196791709843?s=20 ” and then I got up and helped ChatGPT do my kids’ homework https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/991956/student-ai-use-scores-oecd-pisa .
