They flash a bunch of different genmojis on the screen with their description. One of them was “Socrates on Skis”, the genmoji looks like Socrates with sandals and everything. when I try this exact phrase, it insists I choose a photo from my library. I don’t know anyone that looks like Socrates. It doesn’t allow you to choose photos from the internet. I’ve tried creating genmoji of other famous people, but it won’t let you do that. Even when I add a photo of the person from the internet to my library.
I really feel like Apple is overselling Apple Intelligence in these commercials and it doesn’t work as they advertise. I think this is new for Apple. What’s been so impressive up until now is they just show their products doing what any normal person can do. But with AI, they are behind and now they’re faking it.
I think it is not making images with famous people, places or things to avoid potential copyright issues. I wanted to create me standing in front of an Ikea store and it wouldn’t do that. But the ad is misleading. I couldn’t generate any genmoji like any shown in that ad.
If you look in the description that genmoji is described as the prompt:
“Old man white hair white beard wearing white toga robe on skis with mountains (with personalization)”
Still a far cry from the one in the ad. What bothers me is that it looks like someone sat down in Illustrator and created this image for the ad. Look at how the ski polls are perfectly placed. The skis look like real skis. The legs are perfectly placed. Compare to what you created, the poll in the left hand is missing. The skis look more like a snowboard. The feet are placed with one knee twisting.
If they actually used the genmoji feature to create it, that’s fine. Using it myself, I have no idea how that’s possible.
AFAIK most/all? of the ads are misleading. Siri can’t tell me it was “Zack at cafe Grenel” and based on the latest rumors probably won’t be able to until sometime next year.
