I dont even like the text help when I'm typing. Autocorrect gets in the way most of the time - I end up typing the word and having the autofilled one and mine. Rarely do I use the event help when adding an event - normally when it catches me unawares, and then I have to spend more time altering that than if i had just been left alone to type it all myself.
As long as its intrusiveness can be tailored. And/or Apple's/other's access to the AI is limited - i dont want them asking my machine to spy on me at a later date. Reorganising photos the way they think I want it (I've never recovered from the transition from Photos to iPhotos - hundreds of photos ended up chronologically jumbled). Editing music the way they think I want it (adding U2??). Questioning apps I install that arent from the app store. Why are you installing a VPN? Why are you visiting that site? Will changes to the law be implemented on a machine level basis? Will AI be monitoring each keystroke and lead to exploitable security vulnerabilties?
At present I can only think of two things I'd find useful - 1. asking for help to achieve a task in something like Adobe or Serif graphic software, and 2. if the AI chip was separate from the main body, getting AI to sort out a kernel task issue without having to shut the machine down and restart.
I'm sure it will be highly useful for many but I'm increasingly concerned about such developments getting in the way. I'm turning into a luddite 😆

Anything less then ChatGPT 4o conversations/camera is a disappointment. Siri is just utter useless and annoying. Touching my homepod results in unbearable apple music ONE.. Hoping for the best in the next presentation
Siri was better than google assistant at the start & that’s a FACT
Apple’s privacy policy has made it difficult for Siri to become better & that’s why Apple’s AI effort won’t be as good because of their privacy policy.
Google doesn’t have that issue why do you think some google products are better than what Apple offer

Nope, Apple's privacy policy is not the reason. Chat-GPT knows nothing about me but can answer questions such as how large a globe allium is and what other types of alliums there are and what sizes those are, and in a conversational style interaction. Siri cannot even understand the word and is around over a decade longer.
We can choose to give Siri access to our location, and I did so. But asking for a café, sometimes it gives me a café on the other side of EARTH. It knows my location, I gave it access.
And saying add an event "in two hours" and not being understood has ZERO to do with Apple's privacy stance and everything to do with Siri being poorly coded software. Stop pretending this is the reason. This is not the reason Siri sucks.
Chat-GPT is not perfect and definitely makes mistakes and is overrated, but Siri is junk in comparison. Again, privacy is not the reason.
AI is the marketing equivalent of ‘new and improved’. Of course there will be some new and some improved sprinkled randomly about, but for the most part it will all be labeling…and this doesn’t only apply to Apple.
Before journalism and writing died one could, but gosh I wish that were true today. Headlines have turned into word salad riddles.
That’s the problem. If you sandbox your files into a 3rd party app, you can’t use Siri for music playback commands, exactly as the OP described. Apple does force you to choose between the built-in Music app/native music library, and downloaded 3rd party apps, when in reality there’s no legitimate excuse for their Music app to not just play nice with a standard audio file format just like literally every other piece of modern media playback software. It’s Apple’s way or the highway.
Uhhhhh have you even tried the chatgpt voice assistant? I guess not.
This is terrible advice. 9 times out of 10 these days, the headline is the opposite of the story. Whether it is for clickbait or not, it seems like the headline is very misleading.
Apple Wrapping Up OpenAI Deal to Bring ChatGPT Features to iOS 18
Apple has closed in on a deal with OpenAI that should see ChatGPT being used to power new features in its next iPhone operating system, according to...
www.macrumors.com
If privacy is not the reason then why is it when google implement this kind of stuff is so much superior than Apple’s effort all the time
I hope Apple releases auto-summary capabilities for other things too, like excessively long rumor articles.
Me as well but what I want from Apple is to stop treating us as third tear citizens first.
Sport other languages on all places that matter. Keyboard prediction, usable autocorrect/spellchecker, having male and female voice for Text to speech and Translation. I do not hope for Siri.
If you are not able, do allow third party app takes over it on system level not using extensions etc.
Everything else can wait.
I'm with you on this. AI really excites me. People always point to the flaws it has, but ignore the great strides it has taken in a very short timeframe.
The problem is, writing a summary is really difficult, and no two people will produce the same result. What to omit is more important than what to include sometimes. How do we know if AI has done a good job? We don't. We trust it, and act on it. Potentially life-changing or life-threatening decisions will be made, possibly based on the omission of some critical piece of information - or a misinterpretation of something.
In 2001, Hal murdered four of the crew, and tried to murder Bowman, because of a conflict of intention in the way it was programmed. It was "living a lie" (quote from the book) and the only way to resolve the problem was to remove the source of the conflict.
How dare you use your brain? Don’t you want rich people to get richer off this hype train? Cmon, fall in line and stop being intelligent.
Amen to that
Seriously, compared to my last job I was at, this one that I've been at now has had so many things that have been hour long (sometimes longer) meetings that could have easily been an email
Not only that, but when some that come in for the minimum 3 days a week we have to, sometimes there are some that are doing almost nothing but virtual/Webex meetings all day, when most of that could easily just be done at home
I'm failing to imagine how the rich get richer off of an email shortener.
What about not being able to understand basic words? "allium" Siri hears as "alien", and "allium flower" it thinks is "Alan flower"... whereas when I asked ChatGPT it not only understood the word perfectly (ChatGPT launched 1.5 yrs ago) but I had a full-on conversation about this flower and the various kinds and sizes that are known. Is this flower an invasion of my privacy? Your argument is illogical. I have given you concrete examples.
This is from a month ago:
