Apple Intelligence Apparently Too Smart for M1 Macs After Listing Error

Smart ??? That’s some statement considering Apple intelligence doesn’t even function better than the original Siri and why again does it needs 8gigs of ram when its basically useless

we're talking about pretty different things here.

Your concern is for the business case of it and how it can be used as a control and manipulation tool. I agree with what you write.

But that doesn't discount the fact that it's also an incredibly power tool when used in the correct way, as millions of people will attest to.

My point is aware of that. It's a tangible risk building a dependency on it, so don't.

This sounds like the countdown to Apple forcing users of M1 systems to toss them in the trash.

They will still get security updates for years after OS support ends, just like the phones. If you toss it in the trash, it's on you.

...and If you need AI, there are a million places to get it without Apple.

Who says it's an error? The M1 Macs were the last ones with 8GB RAM standard. Maybe on Mac it will need 16GB RAM, compared to iPad where they all have 8GB RAM except the higher end Pro's.

Because there was no M2 iMac as the list says, it went from M1 straight to M3.
Also, the list still mentions the M1 iPads so it looks like it does run on M1 in general. And if it needs "16 GB RAM on Macs" as you said, my M1 MacBook Air has 16 GB so it wouldn't say "M2 or higher" because there still are M1 models eligible even for that criteria.

Sure, why not give the consumer communications job to an intern?
And also: nobody with an M1 chip would ever upgrade their hardware for Apple AI.

Whenever Siri or soogle or Apple Gemini or whatever it is is finally built and released, the ‘built for Apple intelligence’ iPhone 16 had better be compatible or I feel someone will take them to task.

Close but not quite. The technology is entirely inert. It's people always, yes. But the value or detriment of LLMs specifically is defined by who trains and thus controls them. That is why the investment is so high; it simultaneously creates a dependency on the service both from and end user and provider perspective and a method of controlling thought and communications used within its scope.

If you want to see this in action, ask various LLMs about the Tiananmen Square Massacre and see who they are associated with. Then ask yourself where we'll be in a decade.

That's not a bicycle for the mind. That's a tram that goes on rails laid by someone else with a monthly fee.

On a side note, looking at JP Morgan and BoA's recent analytics, it's a financial dead end anyway, as I predicted from my original financial modelling I did.

You just ground me to a halt for a hot second re-visualising the man standing in front of the tank. Man that was awful.
 
Apple Intelligence is a PR disaster for Apple.. marketing way over promised the technology. I would be annoyed if I had bought an iPhone 16 series when the Apple Intelligence marketing hype was everywhere.

But in time, it will be useful. It has dented Apple's reputation and if you read the comments on this thread, the level of cynicism is (perhaps rightly) troubling.
