You know those memes where AI keeps escalating a theme to more extreme levels with each request?
That's what Apple keynotes feel like now. It seems like each year, they're trying to make their presentations even more essentially 'Apple.' They crossed the uncanny valley a long time ago.
"make it feel more like a hospital"
To me it feels more like a cult. Wear this kind of shoes and clothing. Make these hand gestures, talk that way. They look and sound fake, over processed and living in their own bubble detached from the rest of the world.
I’m what many would describe as a bit of an Apple fanboy but for the last few years I’ve been skipping most keynotes. They are becoming pretty unbearable.
I used to look forward to watching them live but now I just go back after the event and skip through the videos to see the most relevant bits (or just read the various reports instead).
