The AI features they promised 1 year ago are still not here. And they are not even close to shipping it. End of story as far as i’m concerned.

But yes, it is nice to see some incremental AI improvements with suggestions in various apps, etc. Better than nothing.

To be fair, they did say it was going to be a decade long arc to move to more AI stuff.

We have a lot of other options for generic AI chat, so I’d rather them get it right than rush out something that isn’t any good.

  • yeah i’m less upset about it now, i just want them to deliver something that works. I agree with that. But their entire product launch was confusing and i’d be embarrassed if i was apple.

    Normal people (not techies) see software updates that mention “apple intelligence”, they update, and then everything looks almost the same lol. It’s SO confusing and the average person thinks siri is still garbage.

    This topic comes up every holiday i kid you not. An aunt or uncle asks “why does siri still suck?” It gets a bit old.

    They need clear and concise product messaging explaining what apple intelligence is, and what is coming soon for siri. Because clearly apple see’s those things as completely different, but complimentary to the same goal.
