AI Summary

36 comments

I dont use iOS, but are people seriously injecting AI in between them and their loved ones?
- It’s a feature in the beta, and for some reason people actually turn it on.
  
  Cause they are excited and dumb
- From what I've seen it's all on-device using their new chip, but I really don't trust Apple to not collect data with it
  
  Even without considering privacy, why would you want it to re-write incoming texts? It's not like those are usually unreasonably long to read
I love how the summary is actually longer.
TL;DR
How is this a summary? Summaries are supposed to the shorter, hence the name, but this summary is longer so it is not really a summary. AI has failed us, we are doomed.
- Love the TL;DR on this one
  
  TS;DR
  
  Thanks, it gives more context as TL;DRs should always do but often fail because of lazy
- Oi you just learned not to let Apple summarize things! Bad lemming, straight back to your room with you!
- thanks for providing more info for those of us who thought Too Little; Didn't Register
  
  POV: I'm doing my part
I love the fact that summery is longer than original message.
- Given that specific locations were named, I assume that the original message says more than what the tweet says it does.
- the original was probably a human made summary
Summarizing texts from your mom. Oof.
- Legitimately—who is even asking for this, I don't remember someone ever sending me a text that was so long I found myself wishing for a summary.
  
  I used it (some android version of it popped up) when driving to an eventthe other day and the other people were texting as I was on my way. It tried to summarize the entire 9-month conversation not just new messages, and it thought the group chat name - "Bilbo Baggins My Balls" - was just one person talking to me, so it was complete nonsense that completely distracted me while driving. AI strikes again.
  
  It's a solution in search of a problem. And boy are they searching.
  
  Sometimes, i have 1000 unread messages
Oh great, so the AI summary basically turns mum's texts into dad's texts!
No notes.

maybe we just need to Think Differently about what it means for something to be a summary
siri is getting a much edgier sense of humor, is all that's happening here
