In a recent piece in The Wall Street Journal, a source recounts an instance where Microsoft's generative AI invented meeting attendees and implied that conference calls were about subjects that weren't actually discussed on the call.

No one is more vindicated by this shift in Apple's policy than Riley Testut, the developer who made GBA4iOS about a decade ago when he was in high school (when he released GBA4iOS, I showed half of my AP Statistics class how to play Pokémon on their phones during class -- sorry, Mr. Cinelli).
