Apple Intelligence makes me feel a lot dumber about using an iPhone.

I like how it started categorizing my mail without asking and it’s just mostly wrong 🤡

Those short form summaries are wildly, hilariously inaccurate. They were why I turned it back off.

The mail categorizing is one thing, but I missed E-Mail messages in the Mail app for close to two months because of the “Primary” category. Once I selected “All,” voila! There was 2 months’ worth of E-Mail I hadn’t seen and hadn’t been notified of.

Considering the iPhone is already the Fisher Price of Smartphones, that's quite the feat! 🤣

Haven’t turned it on yet.

And then there's the Genmoji app which is Apple doing a big "leeeerrrooyyyy jeeenkkiinss" into the bloatware world

I am thankful for the EU 🙏🙏

It’s coming with the next 18.4 beta

Nooooo 😭

Idk what happened to auto correct, but it’s like ten times worse.

vinyltiger.bsky.social•12 days ago

I agree. I don’t even want it , or like AI in general, but it’s a bad look for Apple.
(The one thing I want is for Siri to be able to answer correctly to “when is my next dentist appointment?”)

Have you seen the ads? It is like they really do think their users are dumb

I’m not sure if we even have anything Apple Intelligence related in EU yet. Definitely haven’t noticed any differences and I’m running 18.3.

Some little things are on-by-default and every time I find one, I'm like

mailia.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, if they're on by default then I'm fairly certain that we don't have them.

We also don't have iPhone Mirroring in the EU so I've had zero reasons to upgrade to macOS Sequoia.

The only thing I noticed from Apple Intelligence in EU/DE was „Reduce Interruptions“ focus mode and the Mail app category’s.

Smart phones made us dumb

At some point I will have to replace my kids ancient Pixel XL 1, and I'm not liking my current choices

Have you looked at the Fairphone 5? Runs its own Android 13 with 8 years support and connects to Google Play store.

Time to switch to a phone whose kernel you can recompile every morning? :)

I would love to meet the person whose idea it was to display summaries of news articles on banners and introduce them to the novel concept of headlines
