Apple has come under intense scrutiny for rolling out an underbaked
AI-powered feature that summarizes breaking news — while often
butchering it beyond recognition.

So, no different to any other idiotic AI nonsense. They should all be
avoided by any sane person because they're all just useless, over-hyped
crap that they are. Hopefully it will be just another quickly gone tech
fad.
 

 
AI is nothing more than software, which means that, like any other
software program, it is only as good as it the way it is programmed.

 
And hence why so-called "Artifical Intelligence" is not actually
intelligence of any kind. It's simpl;y a computer program doing what it
has been programmed to do. It does NOT "learn" and it does NOT "think",
and it can never do either of those things.
 
 
 

I agree that a lot of AI isn't very good (and Apple is clearly on that
list), but from the limited testing I have done, I think certain more
mature LLM products like ChatGPT and Copilot are actually quite useful
when used properly.

 
Not really. ChatGPT has numerous issues as well.

 
That's why I say "when used properly".

 
You can use it as "properly" as you like, but the entire idea is
massively flawed, so it will never work properly at all. AI is simply
useless, over-hyped crap that all the idiot tech companies are jumping
on the bandwagon of as the latest fad.
 

And not only the tech companies. The Labour government has announced a massive
programme to explore, enhance and encourage the use of AI.
Me, I'm with the sceptics. I've turned it off on my iMac and my mobile devices
are to old to engage with it.
Remember the dot com bubble of the early 2000s? Marconi went for it and went
bust as a result. Probably others less well established ones too.

 
 

When it comes to the uselessness of "AI, you just have to look at the
absymal images that it creates - people with three hands, buildings
floating in mid-air, ...
 
The really scary part is that morons are trusting this garbage to do
important work like medical diagnosis and supposed self-driving cars!!
