Bottom line is, we're not ready for tools like this yet, especially since there are barely any tools to detect them in the first place. I have tried some messed up prompts to test the true malicious potential of the feature, all of which you can go through right here.

The latest Google Pixel 9 series of phones have arrived with a new Add Me feature that uses on-device AI to add you to group photos efficiently. If you don't have a tripod or are too shy to ask a stranger to capture the photo, this can work wonders. To use the feature, head over to the native Pixel camera app -> tap on Add Me from the bottom panel -> capture a group photo without you in the frame and keep an empty space to fit yourself in -> have the second shot captured with just you in the frame filling that empty space. And, just like that, AI stitches the two pictures together to add you into those group photos.

At the WWDC 2024 event, the Cupertino giant introduced Apple Intelligence and announced ChatGPT integration into Apple devices. Elon Musk took to X and went on a tirade against Apple for integrating ChatGPT and threatened to ban all Apple devices at his companies. That said, it appears Musk's argument is misplaced as Apple has developed its own AI models. Only when Apple's AI model fails to come up with a proper response, it seeks the user's permission before routing the query to ChatGPT.
Apple has developed two capable AI models to power Apple Intelligence features on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. For on-device processing, there is a small 3B model, and for complex tasks, there is a large, server-class model.
