Every single instance to-date where "AI" has been integrated into a product of platform has been a hinderance rather than a benefit.

From milquetoast write-by-committee text generation engines that allow shitty writers to pump out terrible business boilerplate in an email client to customer service representatives tacked onto storefronts that don't do anything except waste your time, using anything AI feels like wading through a waist-deep swamp that ten thousand cows have shit in.

In a way, Apple having terrible AI is a plus to me. It recognizes that there's a cute puppy in a photo in my photo library and that's what I need, and want, it to do.

Yeah Apple is going to miss AI the same way they missed crypto and "metaverse." Whether by apathy or choice, it turned out for the best.
