> Mail and Notifications will show summaries instead of str[:x]

While it's true that the first x characters of an email don't always have the most important bits, they're never _wrong_. It's always exactly what's in the email.

I'm worried about cases like this [0], where a summary is inaccurate or misleading. It may not happen often, but it's possible, so I have to be a little skeptical of every summary. Though I can see where AI summaries are a plus, the move from 100% accurate to <100% feels like a big downgrade.

I'm curious how Apple Intelligence will manage Duolingo's progressively worried sounding notifications through the day.

It feels like an endpoint that will get gamed by apps over time.
