False positives and unreliable/unpredictable behaviour is the future! We've decided that the power of unpredictable algorithms is more worth then reproducibility, and thats the path we're heading down now.

Just a small example: Cook announced a year ago or so during a typical "whats new" apple presentation that AirPlay would use "AI" to figure out what AirPlay targets you actually use most often. Now, that I see the feature in action, I am pretty pissed, because all it does is reorder the AirPlay target list, and put the one I used last on top. However, that is not consistent. So in 2 of 10 cases, it goes back to alphabetically ordering the targets.

So all that "AI" did for me is to make the ordering of my UI elements unpredictable.

Thats just a small example of UX. But I fee this is out future.
