I love how the summary is actually longer.
TL;DR
How is this a summary? Summaries are supposed to the shorter, hence the name, but this summary is longer so it is not really a summary. AI has failed us, we are doomed.Love the TL;DR on this one
TS;DR
Thanks, it gives more context as TL;DRs should always do but often fail because of lazy
thanks for providing more info for those of us who thought Too Little; Didn’t Register
POV: I’m doing my part
Oi you just learned not to let Apple summarize things! Bad lemming, straight back to your room with you!
I dont use iOS, but are people seriously injecting AI in between them and their loved ones?
It’s a feature in the beta, and for some reason people actually turn it on.
Cause they are excited and dumb
I mean also AI summarizing conversations is a useful feature as long as you view it as what it is. Potentially one of the few examples where an LLM is actually useful. My family has an ongoing group chat that is constantly just dumb shit; some days just 100 messages ranting about something or other, but sometimes there’s something worth seeing like events and the like. Trusting AI to glean all the information properly is dumb. Being able to use it to quickly grep what’s happening before doing your own reading isn’t.
unfortunately most llms are pretty terrible at summarizing too
Yeah, I think it takes the GDP of a medium country to develop an AI that isn’t awful (of course Apple has enough money to own there own country so I don’t know what there problem is)
Way more than that aus already been spent
One conclusion the draw from that is that the problem seems to be inherent to the concept of llms. they are fuzzy by nature.
Exactly. It can summarize emails, so I don’t need to open everything I get. If it looks important, I’m gonna open it and read the whole thing, but an OK summary is good enough for most notifications.
Cause you get hilarious posts like this
From what I’ve seen it’s all on-device using their new chip, but I really don’t trust Apple to not collect data with it
Even without considering privacy, why would you want it to re-write incoming texts? It’s not like those are usually unreasonably long to read
Probably just a summary on the lock screen?
“Here’s an attempt to re-write the thing you’re going to read the original of anyway” seems like a waste of time too
I love the fact that summery is longer than original message.
Given that specific locations were named, I assume that the original message says more than what the tweet says it does.
the original was probably a human made summary
Summarizing texts from your mom. Oof.
Legitimately—who is even asking for this, I don’t remember someone ever sending me a text that was so long I found myself wishing for a summary.
I used it (some android version of it popped up) when driving to an eventthe other day and the other people were texting as I was on my way. It tried to summarize the entire 9-month conversation not just new messages, and it thought the group chat name - “Bilbo Baggins My Balls” - was just one person talking to me, so it was complete nonsense that completely distracted me while driving. AI strikes again.
“Bilbo Baggins My Balls”
Good group name though!
It’s a solution in search of a problem. And boy are they searching.
Bubble bubble, toil and trouble
Sometimes, i have 1000 unread messages
Oh great, so the AI summary basically turns mum’s texts into dad’s texts!
maybe we just need to Think Differently about what it means for something to be a summary
siri is getting a much edgier sense of humor, is all that’s happening here
