Apple's AI Ambitions: A Reality Check

Apple Intelligence, the tech giant's latest AI-powered feature, made a splash during the recent iPhone 16 reveal. But, as one user discovered, it seems the prerelease version of the software still has a ways to go. Apple Intelligence's ability to identify objects, summarize notifications, and search through photos sounds impressive, but does it actually deliver? Not so much.Apple Intelligence has some helpful features, like finding photos using natural language and editing images. However, its errors are often hilarious, yet concerning. It's like having a personal assistant who's still learning the ropes. Apple emphasizes that the preview version of Apple Intelligence isn't representative of the final product. Apple says a version of Apple Intelligence will start rolling out in beta next month with iOS 18. 1, iPadOS 18. 1, and macOS Sequoia 15. 1, with more features launching in the coming months.
