Bulletin #54 – Celestial Strawberries, Savvy Apples, and Artificial Intelligence Unleashed: A Light-hearted Exploration into the Future
“DAI#54 – Ethereal strawberries, Apple intelligence, and AI unleashed”
“As predicted, tech scientists are officially in the strawberry business. Apple Inc., the consumer electronics manufacturer, has installed computer-aided ripening systems on a patch of ethereal strawberries. Yes, you read that right. More specifically, the ambitious corporate giant is nurturing the plants in its shrewdly monitored horticulture tinkering lab.”
And so begins the adventure into the novel horizon where tech giants decide strawberries could use a hi-tech upgrade.
Delving into the realm of agriculture, Apple has now adorned the hats of the proficient farmer. So talk about diversity, eh? For a company recognized for iPhones and Macbooks, a pivot to gardening is unexpected, to say the least. However, this isn’t your grandmother’s horticulture. Apple brings its intelligence processing prowess to the act of ripening strawberries with an AI-based system. Talk about an unorthodox usage of AI!
Another excerpt from the original enlightens us further, “Against this resource-draining backdrop of horticulture, Apple’s AI — in its tantalisingly unprecedented applications — alerts when strawberries are experiencing distress.” Essentially, Apple has developed a system that integrates its AI to monitor the strawberries’ well-being. Yes, strawberries now have personalized nutritionists catering to their every need.
Without any lessening effect, it should be mentioned that IBM—another tech giant heavyweight—is also jumping on the AI bandwagon. Except in this case, they’re deploying AI to analyse the pattern of brain waves of the “caffeine-dependent homo sapiens.” IBM now possesses technology that can inform if a caffeine craving is lurking around the corner. Frankly, this does not sound less absurd than Apple’s ethereal strawberries endeavour.
To conclude this, it’s safe to say that artificial intelligence in all its might and intelligence is being unleashed into the vast frontier of business applications, and its effect is nothing short of da Vinci painting the grass. Whether we’re discussing state-of-the-art strawberries, or AI predicting when another coffee cup is due, it’s quite apparent that we’re living in an era where nothing is off the table for AI—strawberries included!
