Screenshot of the linked web page. The sidebar shows a list of 13 "Filter Categories", e.g. blur filters, color adjustment filters, and so on. There’s a red outline drawn around the category list, with the annotation "This wasn’t here before!".

   Core Image has had type-safe CIFilters for years. I always forget these exist because they don’t show up in the documentation.

   • Xcode 14.3 has no search results for e.g. "CITextImageGenerator".
   • Searching for the same thing on the web works though. And once you navigate to one filter, all the other filters magically appear in the sidebar too! It just works™️! (You also have to `import CoreImage.CIFilterBuiltins`; good luck on finding that out.) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage/citextimagegenerator/
