HOM 166: Apple's New AI Clean Up Tool

Listen Later

In this episode, Mikah Sargent explores Apple's new Clean Up feature, part of the Apple Intelligence suite, which aims to remove distractions from photos.

  • Clean Up is a new feature in macOS Sequoia's Photos app that uses on-device machine learning to remove unwanted objects from images
  • To use Clean Up, enter edit mode, select the Clean Up tab, and either click, brush, or circle the object to remove
  • Mikah tests Clean Up on a photo of a puppy with a toy in the background; it successfully removes the toy but loses some pillow texture
  • On a building photo, Clean Up struggles to properly remove a person, distorting the stairs
  • Clean Up has difficulty fully removing an iPhone and keyboard from a spatial photo of Leo Laporte
  • Apple's on-device approach to machine learning, driven by privacy, currently falls short of Google's server-side Magic Eraser feature
  • Clean Up is available on all Apple devices that support Apple Intelligence features, including iOS and iPadOS
