What little I can use of Apple’s “Intelligence” in the EU right now (mostly on my Mac) is barely useful (especially when compared to the ones I built myself), but iA Writer has an interesting take on how to keep tabs on it (pun intended) and is going a little further.
I’ve always liked using it for my drafts (including this one), but I wasn’t really aware of some of its niceties since I don’t typically use LLMs for writing–word or sentence completion is just about where I draw the line.
But this does make me think about Apple Intelligence and how it’s being rolled out (and advertised): The promise of a “Friendly, Professional, or Concise” tone is nice, but if the AI can’t accurately capture your intent, you might end up with something that sounds good but means something entirely different, and I’m not looking forward to the notion of turning human communication into a sea of AI-generated fluff.
I get enough of that at work already.
