Apple Intelligence, in all its fullness, is emerging before our eyes, taking a big leap forward this week with the introduction of iOS 18.2. Across the iPhone landscape (at least those that can support Apple's brand of artificial intelligence), millions are experiencing their iPhone's ability to transform them into cartoon-like characters and, through Image Playground, create fantastic mashups and oddball scenarios.
I'm not immune to this allure. I used Image Playground to transform me into a wizard I can share with my unimpressed wife, who told me, "I don't need this in my life." Later, I created a tiny wizard, Genmoji Lance, that I can use as a message emoji. Perhaps she'll like that better.
