I find myself wondering why. What about Apple Intelligence is so in the interest of Apple, the company, that it forces an annoying, not-ready-for-primetime feature on its customers? I’ve tried AI for several things on iPhone and iPad and each time it slowed me down getting to what I wanted so accomplish. I like to save time and effort. I use shortcuts and keyboard macros when writing using my Mac. Using Apple Intelligence has always provided me with something I didn’t want or expect. My experience has been worse than the very earliest days of Siri.
The answer is quite simple.
The day Apple announced its then-upcoming AI features, its stock value broke a new historical record.
Every corporation is rushing into AI because the dumbass speculative stock market demands it.
It doesn't matter that AI is a worthless waste of energy, because if you invest in it, your stock value automatically increases, and therefore that's all that matters in our shitty capitalist hellscape.
Late stage capitalism, ho.
