I'm still waiting for Google / Alexa / Siri to be the personal secretary promised a decade ago. Siri can set a timer or simple reminders, and with Apple Intelligence can do a bit more in a more natural language, but the reliability and accuracy drops off incredibly fast once things become more complicated, to the point where they're near-useless. I'm still disappointed by what I'd consider to be simple stuff, like hands-free operation of my phone while driving, or even just simple instructions on operating the phone without needing to touch it (let alone look at it). I'm having trouble imagining what the product owners at Apple are actually expecting it to help us with - do they use it in their daily lives? A family member is blind, and in many ways digital assistants and AI voice control have been a godsend, and Apple Intelligence should have been enabling in so many ways. Instead it's an exercise in frustration, advertising hope where there is nope, as well as being all but hostile to blind users (Apple's is the best of a bad bunch). Arguably the switch from tactile buttons to touch screen slabs has removed more autonomy for my relative than AI has added. It's no wonder that Apple have found that people see no value in Apple Intelligence, then, because it doesn't add any practical value.
