Seems extremely conservative/boring/not useful.

Boring is good. If there’s AI in the product, I want it to be 100% accurate. Not 99% accurate. Zero hallucinations. I use MacOS because it’s very predictable and I don’t have to tinker. If this means dialing back to only a subset of LLM capability then that’s perfect.

Super ducking accurate.

Tell me you haven’t used Autocorrect much since iOS17 without telling me.

It really has gotten a lot better. Even lets me lazily type fairly me-specialized things once I made enough manual corrections. Like iRacing iRating RocketLeague carball etc. It sucked at first because it lost all the prior training, but it retrained fairly quickly. I almost never have to hit backspace these days.

Not on iPad IMO.

Typing on iPhone has never been harder.

I hate to break it to you, but you're not getting that from any software, let alone probabilistic AI models

Yeah but there's no evidence to support its going to be 100% accurate. Also accuracy is barely relevant to these features.

"Safari, I want to watch latest X videos."

"Sure thing! Loading xvideos!"

Except Apple is a puritanical company, they'll probably block any porn related anything going through the AI.
