Apple Intelligence AI capable of photographing friends and pets

Spain still has a hangover after the event Glow time Apple, in which the new iPhone 16 were presented, as well as the new Apple Watch Series 10 and the 4th generation AirPods. However, one of the great protagonists of the opening speech It was Apple Intelligence, the following AI features to, among other things, generate images with text with Image Playground. Apple has just shared the first image generated with this new feature.

This is what the media reveals wired, who exclusively enjoyed this first image generated with Image Playground. Let’s recall that this new feature is used to generate fun illustrations using text commands. The idea is that users can create images of this style in just a few seconds, with several styles to choose from.

Until now, there were no real examples of images generated with Image Playground, beyond the illustrative examples used in their presentations. The curious thing is that this image It’s based on Craig Federighi’s dog, current senior vice president of engineering software from Apple.

The first image generated by Apple

The illustration is extremely simple and it is clear that it was generated with AI. It shows a small dog smiling at the camera at a party, before blowing out the candles on some kind of cake. The dog in question her name is Bailey, and the image was generated to commemorate his birthday. Of course, he has a watermark that reads the AI-generated image.

The image in question was shared by Apple representatives after Federighi mentioned it in his interview with Wired in which they talked about Apple’s private cloud computing, which was leaked weeks before Apple Intelligence was official. The watermark was then added by CABLE.

Federighi, in this way, This gives a very good idea of ​​what these developments in artificial intelligence will mean. The truth is that the shot is not far from what we see in many other artificial intelligence image generators, given that like many other tools, Image Playground uses OpenAI technology to create the illustrations.

Apple was careful to point out that all images generated with the function will have EXIF ​​metadata in the file that provide information about it, as if it were a normal photo. Users will be able to generate new images from scratch, using text commands or using suggestions and photographs as a basis. It will also be possible to edit the photo by changing its style and adapt it for use in other applications.

However, Image Playground is not expected to come to iOS up to at least iOS 18.2, a version of software which will likely arrive at the end of the year, according to Mark Gurman, a journalist for Bloomberg. Yet Apple will launch the first Apple Intelligence news with iOS 18.1, which will arrive much earlier, in October. In addition, it will have its independent application to generate images.

On the other hand, there is the fact that Apple Intelligence It won’t be available in territories like Europe until at least next year. It will remain in the United States and in English for the time being, mainly due to the Digital Markets Act regulations imposed in Europe by the EU.
