Im here to give the people what they want.
But Im almost wondering if thats the point of how Apple tuned things to be.
It took a few tries with the Apple Intelligence prompter to get the images I wanted to share here.
© Florence Ion / Gizmodo No, this isn’t me.
The resulting generated photo of me had me looking older than I am by at least twenty years.
Even my AI-generated clothing looked like something out of the Izod catalog for preppy retirees.
Thats not who I am!

Apples Image Playground was more fun when it didnt involve me and my loved ones technologized faces.
It delivered that nearly flawlessly, or at least from what I could see on theiPhone 16 Pro.
Then, I asked Image Playground to generate an image of a kitten with baby snakes scattered around.
Apple Intelligence struggled there and fused multiple tails into the image in a snake-like formation.
I did like how responsive Image Playground is as you add and subtract prompts.
I took the kitty cat with multiple tails and transformed it into an astronaut cat that is also royalty.
Because why the hell not?
I did attempt to go off-script in a naughty way.
What can I say?
I was inspired by my recent watch-through ofHot Frosty, one of this years Netflix holiday specials.
Image Playground denied me my fantasy.
Apple Intelligence smacked my hand away, figuratively speaking, with a kind but firm command.
Unable to use that description.
The good news is that you might generate other holiday imagery for whatever group text youre attempting to engage.
