The outrage isn't about the rule. It's about the sudden decision to choose bureaucracy over common sense.

- wvenable 5mo agoSudden decision? This looks completely in-line with what Apple has been doing since the launch of the iPhone. I find the article most charitable to the idea that AI generated software is a different category than human generated software. It's merely a dev tool.
- awwaiid 5mo agoNot AI generated software -- DYNAMICALLY generated software, like at run time and ongoing. Even in-app directed by the user. This is not a thing that existed before, a degree of customizability well beyond letting the user pick a color scheme or from one of a few layouts or default start screens. I don't know how good of an idea it would be, product-wise, to give programming level flexibility. I am reminded of greasemonkey scripts, but written in english maybe. Maybe it could be awesome. But Apple is saying "nope. Not interested in exploring this with you. BYE"
- bandrami 5mo agoMaybe it could, but I don't want it on my phone, and I like the fact that I have at least some confidence that an app I install isn't that.
- pocksuppet 5mo agoIf I don't want Instagram on my phone should Apple ban Instagram?
- ooiihiniggbpn 5mo agoGood.
- slopinthebag 5mo agoThank god there is at least one major platform preventing applications from doing this. I get in a perfect world this would be great, but we live in a world where we use apps built by corporations which do not have the user's interests at heart and their apps that we begrudgingly use are treated as practically antagonistic.
