As for AI and its usefulness. Let’s say there is room for improvement 🥸. My mom left a voice msg - in German - “hi here’s your mom returning your call.” And this is what Apple AI transcribed it into “Yeah, he is. Daniel had to cut him and go over. I saw my school tooth.…”

Well, this has been a very embarrassing moment - uploading the wrong audio file. Even though this is corrected now - podcast apps don't always immediately sync up - so it may take a few moments. Bummer.
