I went into settings on my phone and disabled it immediately
Shock, I tell you. Absolutely shocked. S
I tried it one time, and it’s just as “slop” as the rest of generative AI. CEOs have no taste
CEOs have no
tasteclueTechbro CEOs are especially susceptible to the hypetrain and then want it implemented somehow, despite the tech not living up to the imaginary magic bullet they got from their superficial info.
Is it worth the hype that Apple and cell carriers are throwing at it? Not really, but do I, as a user, enjoy a lot of the new features? For sure.
Double tap to type to Siri is great, and access to ChatGPT for answers Siri doesn’t know is much better than, “I couldn’t find the answer. Would you like me to search the internet?” And as a person with slight dyslexia and ADHD, Proofread is a fucking god send.My only gripe is the lack of ChatGPT and search internet for answer options. I want to use both in various situations when Siri doesn’t get the answer directly.
That’s a fair point.
EU: you guise tell me when you’ve got something decent
The only bit of excitement I’ve experienced about this, was when they announced it will be force-disabled in Europe, so I didn’t have to turn it off myself
Oh don’t worry, it’s coming to the eu
That’s horrible news
Tbf, it’s opt-in for now, so it isn’t that bad yet.
Get it off! Get it off!!
I am interesting in AI stuff, but I do not want it controlled by some company, I’d like to run my own models.
I gotta be honest, the push notification summaries are more annoying than they are useful. Like. I’m going to read a text blurb of 100 or so characters. It’s an extra step to see the summary and then the actual message itself.
For me the best new feature on macOS is the ability to natively put the temperature in the menu bar. You click on it, and it gives you some more info and from there can launch the full weather app.
It’s a small addition and could have been there for a decade, but I like it a lot.
MacOS didn’t have that before? That’s impressive. Windows has had it for a long time, and KDE obviously does too, and with KDE you can put it anywhere. I can’t understand why people still act like Apple products are premium.
Well you can install a menu bar app if you want. Just like you can with any other system. I don’t ever care about the weather so I want my menubar as clean as possible, so I use bartender to hide almost everything.
Yep. Apple was trying to get things OUT of the menu bar for a long time. I dunno why current leadership has changed their tune.
for checking the wheather i actually use Windows.
I’m pretty smart myself, and I’m treated the same way. 😏
Probably worth noting, this survey was taken before 18.2 went live with a ChatGPT integration, image generation, etc.

Weird. New installs usually get some sort on onboarding screen that explains how to activate the new stuff.
The 18.2 Chat GPT stuff can be manually enabled under settings > Apple intelligence > scroll way down > Chat GPT. Once enabled, writing tools and Siri will give you the option to send a query to ChatGPT instead of Apple’s model.
If Siri gets stumped, it will ask if you want to query GPT. Or you can just prompt it to Ask Chat GPT ______.
Writing tools has it buried under “compose” which is at the very bottom of the writing tools sheet.
Oh, good point
Even with integrations, a lot of the automatic replies basically boil down to “yes, thanks” and “no thank you” to every text. It isn’t even like… A longer message. It’s just two or three words, tops. If I’m going to use AI to write my texts, it’s going to be for something longer than a “yes lol” text.
Agreed.
IMHO, the only truly useful thing is writing tools and Siri being able to query ChatGPT for complex questions instead of telling people to pull out their phone and search the web.
The stuff everyone was actually interested in is likely in 18.4. On-screen awareness, integration with installed apps, contextual replies, etc.
It still needs to learn. I’m personally trying to opt out of it watching everything I do, will have to be some pretty serious benefits for me to revert.
How long does it take to learn? It should be able to scan all of my files locally and I should be able to search for songs by lyrics or images by description and metadata locally. It supposedly has GitHub copilot like functionality in xcode…
They need to let us whitelist 2FA App notifications from summary, so there is no lag time. I have to wait 30 seconds, where it used to be instant. My friend turned it off and his notifications went back to being instant again.
Much like many of us see no value in apple products.
