It would have been okay if they continued to release features that just happened to use ML under the hood. But instead they are expressedly marketing “Apple Intelligence”, with most of the features released under that umbrella so far not really working well (notification summaries, mail categories, Genmoji, …).

I do wish they continued on this track instead of apple intelligence. I should be enable to click generate audiobook in iBooks and have an audiobook made in any voice of my choosing. Open source solutions are far too slow on macOS, and subpar in other languages.

Yeah, they've been a bit slow on LLMs, but "machine learning" has been one of their buzzwords for years now.

You hear other companies saying they're pivoting to making AI-ready CPUs soon and I'm like dude, my iPhone SE 2 has machine learning processing!
