As a non-native English speaker, I rely heavily on tools to assist me.

During my youth, my mother enrolled me in a writer training program. I express my gratitude for her decision. However, it is uncertain whether the skills I acquired will be relevant in the future.

Incidentally, this hole text was initially spoken and subsequently transcribed by Apple’s intelligent speech recognition technology. It underwent further proofreading assistance using Apple’s intelligent writing tools.
 
I need a "politically incorrect" mode, so I can blame it for my dark jokes.
Super non-usefull Apple. What is Tim thinking?.
App,e Intelligence is DOA, at leats on iphones.
I see you used the "Human Mode" which adds random spelling and punctuation mistakes to look as though a human wrote it
 
AI assistance for grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors would be a real boon. But I for one want nothing else. My phrasing and sentence structure is “me”. Like most of us, I write as I think and my thinking is who I am and expresses my personality. I don’t want that sanitised, homogenised or rewritten.

That's how I mostly feel too. The proofreading sounds great if it can find the occasional errors that evade a normal spell check. I write research papers and I feel like every time I look at an old paper of mine I find some silly typo of other insignificant error that somehow gets missed by myself, my co-authors, the journal editor, and technical editor that typesets the final version.

I don't think I'll be using the other features too much. But for the occasional business email an AI tool like this can be handy for writing a better message.
 
Using the latest beta and this is actually garbage 😂

Please don’t get excited over this folks, half the time it can’t even work out what’s going on, it’s horrendously slow with all that “power” in the A chip almost like these phones really weren’t made for this and don’t get me started on the diabolical “clean up” that’s at least 5 years behind magic eraser.

If this is Apple Intelligence then the long joke of it being a fisher price phone might be true.

Give a man a fish and he can eat today.
Teach a man to fish and he can eat every day.

To summarise:
Teach a fish to eat a man so the man will never have to fish again.
 
I’m quite disappointed with this feature. The quality is so poor that it makes me cringe. I suppose this is just a bait to later introduce the real stuff with a subscription model, similar to GTP. I’m well-versed in AI due to reading Tristan Harris, and it’s another way to deceive you. After all, you’re supposed to learn grammar in school, but once you disengage and become lazy (remember handwriting?), there’s no way to recover your skills.

And always remember, freeloaders, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

will it really help others become better writers? That assumes that people will learn from the AI suggestions, and I’m guessing that a lot of people will simply click the fix button and move on.
Sorta like speel chockers...
 
I agree with the conclusion of this post. Detailed suggestions and more fine-grained control over the output would be much more useful.

I hate the idea that people send me messages they have not written themselves.
My thought too. Soon, all conversations on the Internet will be between LLMs. Humans will only read the summaries generated by LLMs. I'm wondering what the impact will be on Internet forums like macrumors.

I'll be curious to try this. My mind is fried from writing resumes since every single business wants you to customize them for their special job description (as if job hunting isn't exhausting to begin with). It would be nice to have something proofread me.

If they're trained on message boards we won't notice the difference...

First they have to know and understand,

That'll be the LLM's job. We'll just have to tell Z12 when we are ready to go...

After some time though, the LLMs will be trained on already generated content. What happens then? Will they develop a new language that humans don't understand?
 
So, all this does is what every other free LLM service can do, with a interface that's just as bad?

Imagine they put all that engineering talent into their systemwide spell and grammar checker instead ...

Except if you're running 15.1 on an external drive... then I was surprised to see it won't let you run Apple Intelligence...
 
perhaps all posts here will be automatically made Friendly to limit the arguing?
