Apple announce their AI as "Apple Intelligence" with the emphasis on _personal_ and _private_.
Integrated of course across Apple apps. (... and 3rd party via App
Intents API).
Strong "action" oriented commands.
AI will be on device for most processes.
Private Cloud Compute for loads that can't be done on device - using
Apple Silicon based servers. No storage of your data.
Independent 3rd party source code verification.
Siri to get AI - and boy does she need it. (Recent use has come up with
a lot of flaws). Also remembers the recent context in Siri as well as
your cross app context over time.
Writing tools for various apps to rewrite messages (such as a mail
message) in different ways. Grammar checking, tone, etc. Auto TL;DR
summary generator, etc. and so on.
Reading tools to summarize incoming e-mails with relevant content.
Emoji generator (text what you want, it gens an "emoji" like
illustration. (silly fun).
ChatGPT 4o integration w/o an account. If you have a ChatGPT account,
then "paywall" features will be accessible as well...

Bring it! The way they describe the architecture and the demonstrations
all look very promising!

I can do without the ChatGPT stuff. Much more interested in Apple's own private curated AI capabilities.

"Nobody" was an intended exaggeration. The point being that 95%+ of
people do not know nor care what AI is, and they will never knowingly
use it nor want to use it.
Apple needs to concentrate on the usability and fixing the existing
annoying bugs (some of which have been there since OS X first created!) rather than continually adding gimmicks that only a tiny niche number of users will ever know about or use. :-\

"Nobody" was an intended exaggeration. The point being that 95%+ of
people do not know nor care what AI is, and they will never knowingly
use it nor want to use it.
99.9% of people will be using it without really "knowing" it. It will
be deeply embedded into the user experience.
Just Siri remaining in context for follow up queries or instructions
will be a huge leap. (Goldfish memory days will end...)
Apple needs to concentrate on the usability and fixing the existing
annoying bugs (some of which have been there since OS X first created!)
rather than continually adding gimmicks that only a tiny niche number
of users will ever know about or use. :-\
Agree Apple need to fix things - indeed stop breaking things that
worked fine but they tend to dumb down or make needlessly obfuscated (Settings in Mac OS).
But adding features is where they have to go to keep relevant and
abreast of the competition if not passing it.

When you setup for "people" you should let them decide what they want -
not impose your desires and prejudices upon them.

The point was that 95% of users don't care what it can and cannot do,
even if they understood it.
"Artificial intelligence" (an oxymoron) is mainly for those who don't
have any real intelligence and/or are too lazy to do things themselves.
Same with "smart" devices, which are mostly just incredibly stupid.

- not impose your desires and prejudices upon them.
The people I set up devices for are tech novices who just want to use
the devices for simple things (like 95% of users do). The fewer
complications and pointless "features" there are, the better it is for
them ... and, yes, for me as well.
Time Machine gets turned off, touch gestures on the mouse (other than scrolling up / down) get turned off, as did the old "squeeze me" button,
etc. and so now will this useless AI nonsense.
If it's something they specifically want or actually need, then it can
get turned back on. That is what they pay me to know as their tech
expert. The reality is that none of the things I turn off has ever
actually needed to be turned on again ... because they *are* just
marketing gimmicks that most normal people simply do not need nor want.
