Apple Intelligence suite of AI features during the iPhone 16 reveal yesterday, with Tim Cook calling it the “beginning of an exciting new era.” But it seems that Cupertino needs to make some improvements to the prerelease version of the software if it wants to live up to those claims. According to at least one user, Apple Intelligence often isn’t very intelligent.
Apple is banking on Apple Intelligence to give its stagnant iPhone sales a boost. The technology received plenty of coverage during yesterday’s Glowtime event, such as its ability to identify objects via the camera, summarize and prioritize notifications, search through photos based on descriptions, and power an improved Siri.
Apple Intelligence is available in the developer-preview version of iOS 18.1. The Washington Post‘s Geoffrey A. Fowler was one of those who tested some of the AI’s features. The verdict? It suffers from many of the same problems that plague other generative AIs, especially when it comes to hallucinations.
