This MacVoices Live! series starts of with an unexpected turn: A “poem” composed by ChatGPT and verbalized by Siri. The panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Mark Fuccio, and Jim Rea then talk about not just the content, but also how many iterative queries it took to get the final product. Then, the group looks at Apple’s confirmation that there will be no 27-inch M3-series iMac and whether there are any hidden meanings in the message, as well as whether the M3 iMac is suitable as a gaming machine. (Part 1)
