> With the months of nonstop and over-the-top hype of "Apple Intelligence" these all seem underwhelming.

None of that was coming from Apple, though. I don't think they can be held responsible for hype that gets put on them.

IMO these are all solid moves into AI integration without getting carried away by hype and doing things that will have very middling results.

True. All the whining was coming from lazy "industry observers" who never mustered up an example of what, exactly, they expected Apple to be doing with "AI."

Yeah all of that annoying whining was from them. No one other than "lazy" ""industry observers"" were expecting "so-called AI" stuff from Apple.

Apple called AI “Apple intelligence”. It’s on them to live up to that smug claim. They didn’t

We just watched an Apple event where they discuss Apple Intelligence.

My understanding is people knew Apple Intelligence existed before this event.

Is it accurate to say Apple wasn't involved at all in touting it? All external parties? Sounds wrong to my ear

It was brought up in their software yearly event - WWDC. It was actually a pretty big part of that keynote, even as it was light on details.

The sources in those articles are user conversation and speculation from Reddit, Twitter, and Discord. There's very little information in that massive article that actually came from Apple.

Apple was notoriously quiet on AI until they recently revealed Apple Intelligence, it made sense to me since iPhones already have access to all of the user's data, and data is the core of all of the best use cases for AI.
