Concerns Over Apple Intelligence Suggestions

The podcast discusses frustrations with Apple Intelligence's suggestion feature, emphasizing a disconnect between the AI's recommendations and the user's natural communication style. The speaker explains that although the feature aims to enhance messaging, the suggestions often do not align with how the user typically converses, leading to a feeling of inauthenticity. For instance, daily messages to family members are suggested as overly polished, complete with correct punctuation and upbeat phrasing, which the user rarely employs in real life. This mismatch raises concerns about how well the AI understands individual users despite having extensive data from their past messages.
