It’s probably my favorite of the AI features on Apple devices now.

My wife and I both have a habit of sending multiple small messages rather than a large one. Probably because we both used IRC extensively on the past and grew up on length-limited SMSes. The summaries are very very handy at letting me glance at my notification's and see if anything in her last x messages needs a reply now or whether it’s just “chat”.

I’ve found LLM summaries of stuff in general to be one of the handiest uses of it personally.

No offense to you personally, but what kind of life does one live where one needs to glance at their partners' texts to shave off those ten precious seconds.

I feel the same way - summarizing unnecessarily long email chains or slack threads at work? Works for me. Summarizing messages from my friends and loved ones? Feels dehumanizing.
