This snippet summarizes my AI forced into everything experience, especially when I was prompted to have my text message summarized. I said no, and the message was "Ok"

What text messages are being sent that need to be summarized?

which mostly means that Apple aggressively introduced people to the features of generative AI by force, and it turns out that people don't really want to summarize documents, write emails, or make "custom emoji," and anyone who thinks they would is a fucking alien.

Great analysis. I still have no idea how they think they will ever make their money back.

Ironically, Apple has some of the best odds of coming out of this reasonably healthy. “Apple Intelligence” follows the trend of most Apple services products, in that it is really intended to lock people into their ecosystem and keep buying iPhones. I’m just waiting for someone in the big 7 or whatever they’re called to publicly bow out of AI. I suspect the first one to do it might benefit a lot.
