I'm starting to feel like any device that claims to have "AI" built in, means I'm going to have to supervise and baby it's results whilst it tries to do intelligent things

It always summarizes my chase payment notifications as "Overdraft alert". First time it happened my heart skipped a beat. Sometimes it kills it, but when it doesn't it can be bad.

Incidentally, I turned this off today. I suspect it's terrible on battery life and I will find out. But the thing about the summaries that was they would sometimes imply the EXACT OPPOSITE of what was in a message. I had a few stomach-dropping moments when reading the summaries only for me to read the actual thread to see it was nowhere close. This is one of "it's not even wrong" situations and I don't know how it was fucked up this badly. The nature of the texts themselves weren't complicated either. I didn't save them, but I suspect it stemmed from misinterpretating some subtle omission (like our common practice of leaving out articles or pronouns).

I can understand helping with long stacks, but I have no idea why Apple saw it fit to also show AI summaries for a single notification. It was one line of text, now it is still one line but less understandable. Thanks, I guess.

I had no interest in this feature until I read this article, then I immediately switched it on.

I honestly feel Apple should lean into the weirdness by allowing people to change the prompt or allowing people to install alternate prompts from the App Store. So you could have your messages summarized as a haiku or poem, or in the style of Shakespeare or a movie character. I think there would be a market for that.
