Despite my skepticism, I turned on Apple Intelligence for a few days on my iPhone. It was pointless at best, but otherwise it was just actively un-useful. The “summaries” in my inbox email list were awful — I always had to click into the email to see what the message was really saying. Turned it off and my life has improved.
So weird: Years in now and generative AI is still mostly (not entirely) a solution in search of a problem, except for very narrow purpose-built use cases like code QA.
