“A BBC spokesperson said: ‘It is essential that Apple fixes this problem urgently’”
Thing is, Apple can’t. No company can ‘fix’ errors going out in AI summaries, because they’re fancy autocomplete. AI doesn’t understand information and context.

Generative AI grifters use that term deliberately to reinforce the false notion of sentience where there is none. We shouldn’t be reinforcing that inadvertently whilst pointing out the inherent flaws.
Well now.... I thought that was why Apple was doing it in the first place?
However, that would result in apps for which summaries are a user benefit (e.g. collapsing low-signal notifications for likes and follows) would opt out as a growth hack. Leaves Apple pretty fucked on the issue.
The only change I would've made to the BBC spokesperson's statement would be to add the words "or else dump this feature entirely" to the end of it.
It’s kinda crazy how many half-baked and largely untested AI features seem to be released to the public. We definitely need far tighter regulation.
“Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself”,
“Luke Littler had won the PDC World Darts Championship hours before it began”,
and that
“the Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal had come out as gay.”

This stupid bubble can't pop fast enough.
