    As the general rule I feel the same about more or less all of the “AI” that is available to consumers from the likes of Google, OpenAI, etc.

    It just seems more like a different way to do things with digital assistants or search engines that we have already been able to do for years.

      IMHO, they have pretty different use cases. For example, I can’t use a search engine to compose things.

    I tried it one time, and it’s just as “slop” as the rest of generative AI. CEOs have no taste

      CEOs have no taste clue

      Techbro 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.

    As a normal user, I don’t find Ai useful.

    Like, anybody’s, for much of anything other than generating fever-dreams and Plex art.

    code, tho.

    Bash scripts, maybe but, it’s not necessary for me.

      It’s almost like siri already does what people want it to, and anything beyond that is a waste of time and resources

    Probably worth noting, this survey was taken before 18.2 went live with a ChatGPT integration, image generation, etc.

      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.

      I have 18.2 and don’t even see how to use the AI features. The only thing I bothered to look up so far was how to use genmoji. But the option still doesn’t display in iMessage so I have no idea. Might as well not exist for all I can tell.

        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.

    Genmoji is a waste of space. The image generation is really bad (but then again, most of these platforms are). The writing tools are mediocre. About all that is moderately useful is that Siri seems a little better and processing commands.

    If they want to start charging for this, I’m out.

      I’m not sure why they would charge for it, most of it happens on-device.

        True, but the RnD ain’t cheap. And, if everyone else starts charging (as I am sure they eventually will), Apple will follow.

    I was trying to generate ai images and it couldn’t handle anything …. asking Siri questions amounts to nothing … it has a cool animation and sound for when you summon it and that’s about all … it’s a fucking dud.

    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…

    As the owner of a 13 Mini; what’s that?

    We didn’t get anything at all from 18.1. There is literally nothing on my phone to tell me that it exists.

    However, I do have it on both of my Macs, and have yet to do anything with it. I’m not in any hurry to bother either.

    I am interesting in AI stuff, but I do not want it controlled by some company, I’d like to run my own models.
