Good post by Allen Pike about Apple Intelligence. On-device AI is great for notification summaries, but falls short for much of the rest: "While an underpowered-but-automatic notification summary can be better than nothing, there isn’t a lot of purpose to an underpowered image generation app. You can tell from the name that Apple knows “Image Playground” is, at best, a toy." Apple is a little bit trapped with their AI strategy. For some things they can’t be competitive with OpenAI and Anthropic. If I was Apple, I would focus only on what smaller models are great at — notifications and writing tools... www.manton.org

@manton This is a good problem for those us who aren’t interested in AI as a core tool in their belt.

@manton the most useful thing with Apple’s AI for me is the Reduce Interruptions focus, have been using it for 2 weeks now and bit by bit it’s gotten better with what it shows me notifications wise. Previously I was using Do Not Disturb but found that I was missing things (derr) and was having to tailor what came through by hand, like a savage, which I just don’t have the time and patience for.
