    I love how the summary is actually longer.

    TL;DR
    How is this a summary? Summaries are supposed to the shorter, hence the name, but this summary is longer so it is not really a summary. AI has failed us, we are doomed.

      Legitimately—who is even asking for this, I don’t remember someone ever sending me a text that was so long I found myself wishing for a summary.

        I used it (some android version of it popped up) when driving to an eventthe other day and the other people were texting as I was on my way. It tried to summarize the entire 9-month conversation not just new messages, and it thought the group chat name - “Bilbo Baggins My Balls” - was just one person talking to me, so it was complete nonsense that completely distracted me while driving. AI strikes again.

    I dont use iOS, but are people seriously injecting AI in between them and their loved ones?

          I mean also AI summarizing conversations is a useful feature as long as you view it as what it is. Potentially one of the few examples where an LLM is actually useful. My family has an ongoing group chat that is constantly just dumb shit; some days just 100 messages ranting about something or other, but sometimes there’s something worth seeing like events and the like. Trusting AI to glean all the information properly is dumb. Being able to use it to quickly grep what’s happening before doing your own reading isn’t.

            unfortunately most llms are pretty terrible at summarizing too

              Yeah, I think it takes the GDP of a medium country to develop an AI that isn’t awful (of course Apple has enough money to own there own country so I don’t know what there problem is)

            Exactly. It can summarize emails, so I don’t need to open everything I get. If it looks important, I’m gonna open it and read the whole thing, but an OK summary is good enough for most notifications.

      From what I’ve seen it’s all on-device using their new chip, but I really don’t trust Apple to not collect data with it

        Even without considering privacy, why would you want it to re-write incoming texts? It’s not like those are usually unreasonably long to read

            “Here’s an attempt to re-write the thing you’re going to read the original of anyway” seems like a waste of time too

    maybe we just need to Think Differently about what it means for something to be a summary
