California Law: Requires AI To Tell You It's AI
Okay.
And that it causes cancer.
Also, California joins many other states mandating "age-gating" when setting up a new phone or a new computer. Apple, notably, is not supportive of the new law. Meta and Google are.

It is impossible to articulate how much she helps me when I'm driving and can't use the iPhone myself.
