Apple Intelligence may create artwork for Apple Music playlists
Code within the latest iOS 18 developer beta suggests that Apple Intelligence will play a part in creating playlist artwork within Apple Music.
As first spotted by 9to5mac, there is no further detail. However, given Apple’s demonstrations of Image Playground, and the positioning of this feature in Apple Music, it is possible to infer what it might all do.
Specifically, it appears tied to the creation of playlists, and also Image Playground will not produce any photo-realistic images. So it’s likely that Apple Music will take the tracks in the playlist — or perhaps the playlist title — and provide a somehow appropriate illustration or sketch.
Image Playground does also offer an animation option. However, Apple Music has long included the ability for artists to create video covers for their albums, and that’s been sufficiently irritating for people to want instructions on how to disable it.
