I mean also AI summarizing conversations is a useful feature as long as you view is as what it is. Potentially one of the few examples where an LLM is actually useful. My family has on ongoing group chat that is constantly just dumb shit some days just 100 messages ranting about something or other, but sometimes there’s something worth seeing like events and the like. Trusting AI to glean all the information properly is dumb. Being able to use it to quickly grow what’s happening before doing your own reading isn’t.
Yeah, I think it takes the GDP of a medium country to develop an AI that isn’t awful (of course Apple has enough money to own there own country so I don’t know what there problem is)
Exactly. It can summarize emails, so I don’t need to open everything I get. If it looks important, I’m gonna open it and read the whole thing, but an OK summary is good enough for most notifications.
I dont use iOS, but are people seriously injecting AI in between them and their loved ones?
It’s a feature in the beta, and for some reason people actually turn it on.
Cause they are excited and dumb
Cause you get hilarious posts like this

unfortunately most llms are pretty terrible at summarizing too

One conclusion the draw from that is that the problem seems to be inherent to the concept of llms. they are fuzzy by nature.
Way more than that aus already been spent

From what I’ve seen it’s all on-device using their new chip, but I really don’t trust Apple to not collect data with it
Even without considering privacy, why would you want it to re-write incoming texts? It’s not like those are usually unreasonably long to read
Probably just a summary on the lock screen?
“Here’s an attempt to re-write the thing you’re going to read the original of anyway” seems like a waste of time too
