As someone whose mother tongue isn't English, and whose residence isn't the US, apple intelligence is basically useless to me. Like every other ai assistant gimmick out there.

- robteix 2y agoHonest question: why though? If someone uses a language other than English on their phone, the feature is quite literally useless to them, isn't it? I don't get why they're "self centered" for saying so. I think it's quite telling that one of the main new features of the new iPhones won't even be available until next year for most of the world.

- jiggawatts 2y agoThe voice and text AIs such as Whisper and ChatGPT are generally multi-lingual, albeit their quality with anything other than English is not the same. In theory at least it should be straightforward to make LLM-based assistants like Siri truly multilingual.
