Apple trying to rebrand AI = "Apple Intelligence" is a totally Apple thing to do.
I'll be curious to see if Apple gets caught with some surprise or scandal from unexpected behavior in their generative models. I expect that the rollout will be smoother than Bing or Google's first attempts, but I don't think even Apple will prove capable of identifying and mitigating all possible edge cases.
I noticed during the livestream that the re-write feature generated some pretty bad text, with all the hallmarks of gen AI content. That's not a good sign for this feature, especially considering they thought it was good enough to include in the presentation.

- ukuina 2y ago> the re-write feature generated some pretty bad text, with all the hallmarks of gen AI content This is the curse of small-language models. They are better suited for constrained output like categorization. Using them for email generation takes... well, that takes courage. Thankfully, there is an option to use GPT-4o for many of the text generation tasks.
- tr3ntg 2y agoI noticed this too. I quickly skimmed a rewritten email and it was totally wooden. It's the one where they ask the AI to reword their rant that includes tons of all-caps words. The output is almost worse, dripping in a passive aggressive tone.
- lacy_tinpot 2y agoIt's bad branding because they can't use the "AI" abbreviation. It's too commonly used to be appropriated by Apple. Honestly calling it "Apple Intelligence" just feels a little lazy.
