Why AI-Generated Food Images Are Strangely COMFORTING Us

The cheeseburger on the La Quinta Inn room service handout immediately made my AI antennae tingle. The image—oddly symmetrical, bright, and busy—had something artificial about it. Maybe it was the cheese dripping over the patty in suspiciously triangular form, or the unnatural placement of the accoutrements, but it looked as if a burger emoji made a wish to become real food, and that wish was only half-granted. While off-putting, the faux burger wasn’t anywhere close to the gastronomic calamitie

What AI Is REALLY Becoming in Your Workplace

I was in a pitch meeting with a large food and beverage company a few months ago. Two software audiences in the room—users and managers. Same software product, but with two completely different asks. The users wanted AI to take the parts of their job they hated: manual visual design changes, repetitive reporting, brand validation checks. They wanted an assistant. Their managers wanted something else. They wanted the tool to free up the team’s time to reallocate people elsewhere. Either eliminate

Why Apple's New Watch Marks the End of Wearables As We KNOW Them

This time, heart rate monitoring is truly continuous. You wouldn't know that the Apple Watch Series 12 is a big deal just by looking at it.

These ideas - and this year's updates - can be divided into two parts: catching up to the recent boom in AI health and l

Xbox's Disc-to-Digital Trick Was 15 YEARS in the Making

When Xbox announced a new feature last month that lets you digitize existing physical game collections, I immediately thought of the Xbox One. Disc-to-digital seems like a clever new feature for Xbox, perfectly timed as a response to Sony killing PlayStation discs. But the reality is that it has been 15 years in the making and is now a big part of Xbox's ongoing game preservation efforts. Ahead of the launch of the Xbox One in 2013, Microsoft made a key decision to uniquely identify discs. Sourc
