Free Lunch Is Over for the AI That Broke the Web

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-17 22:01:56

For years, that traffic powered ad revenue, subscriptions, and the g

But the detailed reasoning behind his decision wasn't released at the time. The written portion of the decision was finally issued on Wednesday, and it has a number of notable features.

Apple’s AI capabilities have been less than impressive to date, but there’s one new feature coming with iOS 26 that’s actually really handy: adding stuff to your calendar with a screenshot. I’ve been testing this feature out for the past few weeks in the developer beta, and I’m pleased to report that it works, easily making it my favorite Apple Intelligence feature so far.
