Tangentially related, and correct me if I'm wrong because I will never in my life watch a "keynote" or whatever it is, but is it me or does "Liquid Glass" look like an accessibility nightmare?

As an Apple customer I am entirely unmoved by their utter failure to shoehorn an LLM into their gadgets. I'm starting to think they might have dodged a bullet by missing the hype train.
