I am a participant of the iPadOS 18 beta, and out of all the Apple Intelligence features, the only one I actually like to use is to summarise web pages. Some journalists love to yap, I guess…

    AI is like the office worker who’s the nephew of the CEO. They’re never going to go away, but can be useful for tedious work, so long as someone checks behind them.

      This is a good analogy, and is one big reason I won’t trust any AI until the ‘answers’ are guaranteed and verifiable. I’ve worked with people who needed to have every single thing they worked on double-checked for accuracy/quality, and my takeaway is that it’s usually faster to just do it myself. Doing a properly thorough review of someone else’s work, knowing that they historically produce crap, takes just about as long as doing the work myself from scratch. This has been true in every field I’ve worked in, from academia to tech.

      I will not be using any of Apple’s impending AI features, they all seem like a dangerous joke to me.
