MacVoices #26001: Talking AI and LLMs with The Long Island Macintosh Users Group (1)

The first part of an appearance at The Long Island Macintosh Users Group digs into large language models, real-world AI use, and Apple's philosophy. The conversation ranges from productivity and creativity to ethics, privacy, and deepfakes. Why experimentation, transparency, and skepticism matter as AI becomes part of everyday workflows starts with participation from the group. (1)
