Lots of "AI" companies have/will be admitting to errors.  "AI" is nowhere near ready to always answer questions correctly.
For that reason - and many others - I ignore "AI" anything.  I will read and make my own conclusions.   I don't need a digital Magic 8 Ball to tell me what to do.

Is AppInt going to be a massive white elephant? At the moment it's
certainly discouraging me from upgrading my phone rather than the other way
around.

"AI" in general is already a white elephant.  Billions of dollars invested with NO return at all.  Microsoft has even given instructions on how to change the (originally dedicated) "Copilot" key on new Windows PC keyboards to a different (actually useful) function of your choice.
And of course, there was the "Windows Recall" spyware disaster last year.   It was quite amusing to watch MS backpedal on that.
"AI" is now the biggest hype ever, surpassing "Y2K" 28 years ago.  Yes, 28 years ago.  It started in 1997.
