Apple do you have no idea what to build because this seems like a very odd use of engineering time

Today I learned Apple has a plant identifier built in to photos (???) * Take a picture of a plant * Tap the ⓘ icon that appears at the bottom of the screen * Tap Look up — plant

If you run a picture of this app through this app it identifies it as high hanging fruit 👎

Today I learned this - however, every app I’ve ever tried has struggled with accuracy. I’m going to test this on some of my own plants in this thread and see how well it does. twitter.com/Austen/status/…

Huge building of botanists in India poorly labeling plant pictures for 2 cents apiece

This is good

No it’s bad. They should be doing other things better. Fix maps before you do shit like this. Honestly it feels so unfocused as a product vision, never do this period.

Seems like the style of semi-useless bullshit feature that apple customers go feral for. If it was about function they would buy android.
