everytime I have interacted with AI systems I have come away frustrated and disappointed, even google are failing royally with AI, summaries are wrong, search results less accurate leading to a poorer experience

apple is no different with high profile issues like the news summary attributed to the BBC about the gunman in the Health CEO case shooting himself, and many more

the worst interaction with AI assistants for me was 30 minutes and 5 calls trying to get past an "AI Assistant" trying to sort out my car insurance, each call it put me in the wrong queue despite me clearly telling it what I was calling for

every time you see something is AI assistant or search enabled, there is a tag line / disclaimer for you to "check the results for accuracy"until they are confident enough not to put that on its not ready to be released (google pixel adverts on telly are prime example)

when I upgraded to iPhone 16 a few months ago I went through the setting and made sure Apple intelligence was disabled (just waiting for apple to do a Microsoft and quietly enable it in an update!!

I have turned of the location sharing Apple quietly enabled on the photos in IOS 18 with the "enhanced visual search" feature, swiftly disabled once I was aware of it

bottom line if anything is advertised as "powered by AI" or "AI Enhanced" it will not get bought by me
