Hi Hrafn,

I am searching for more info on Spotlight using Artificial Intelligence. But, I couldn’t find any article or manual either from the Apple Home site or from the Net. Closest thing about Spotlight and AI that I came across was this article. Kindly provide me more links or source material for getting more information about the way Spotlight uses AI to deliver the results.

Thanks a lot,
KN

I love that quote too. But the post in general is great as well. I’m not sure Terminator is the first thing that would come to mind reading AI, but you’re right, the term seems to be unclear to and often misused by many.

Thanks Nils. Well, in my experience techsavvy people generally think twice before ol' Arnold springs to mind, but thoughts of war/dark implications are definitely there.

By the way, Hrafn, until this post I thought I was just gonna be alright doing w/o Leopard. Now I might just have to get it. Sigh.

Haha. Just don't bill me!

Man, Nils and I are on the same track. Unfortunately I only read his comment after I had submitted mine. Apologies, Nils. All I can offer about that is, “Great minds..?”

I’m thinking, too, that the Steven Spielberg movie had to do with the negative and tragic connotation the common public has come to associate with AI. By the way, Hrafn, until this post I thought I was just gonna be alright doing w/o Leopard. Now I might just have to get it. Sigh.

Now, I need to get Leopard of course so I get to see this in action. Another great post though.

“So that’s why Apple doesn’t mention AI: The term is surrounded by hype which makes using it not worth the marketing effort. Instead they use more neutral words such as, for example, “data detectors” or “dynamic web filtering”. Words that won’t make people think the operating system was cast in a giant metal machine and sent back in time to kill their unborn son.”

I love that quote! I shall steal it in the future.
