So far Apple Intelligence can help with writing, making pictures/emojis, and summarizing notifications, websites, emails, Messages, etc. I just don’t see a need for AI to do any of those tasks though. The picture one maybe
It’s the same for Samsung’s AI stuff, the only really useful one is it’s smart selecting features - cropping photos, taking out specific images for stickers/collaging.
Everything else though is just the creativity I want to do being done for me.
Thankfully both it and Siri can be completely disabled or just not even installed in the former’s case.
They want AI because apple tells them they do.
They also don’t want AI because their experiences say the opposite.
We tried the iPhone 16 recently, upgrading from a 14. Apple’s AI seemed basically useless. That combined with the dynamic island not respecting reduced motion settings lead us to return the phone instead and keep the 14. The old phone worked fine, but we wanted to try to get ahead of the incoming administration just in case.
Maybe the 17 will be better?
I found that Siri is a little more useful for answering questions with ChatGPT, but outside of that I don’t think I’ve come across another situation where I’ve needed Apple Intelligence.
