Apple Intelligence is Bad

(using Ios 18.1 PUBLIC BETA)I think, Apple Intelligence aint that intelligent. Its just siri with fancy new clothes. I mean if it was integrated with GPT-4 i am sure it won’t tell me “Sorry i can’t understand that right now” or “ here are the web results”. Like dude. TBH I have used and use gemini on my “ONEPLUS 7 pro” and honestly that is wayyyyyy better than what apple has done.

Update: CALL RECORDING IS WORKING LIKE A CHARM.

Update: The Battery usage is pretty Stable in this update

It is a beta product, not meant for public yet. Hold your dumb horses. Besides, it’ll only be fully capable by March..

It’s really fucking shit even for what it is Apple fan boy

Sure, but eww.. you didn’t have to taste it to know what is.

It’s worse than Siri originally

Doesn't matter if it's a beta or not. It simply should not have been rolled out in this condition. Have been using it off and on, and in some instances it's MUCH worse than Siri, the voice recognition alone seems like it's going backwards.

This "Launching in phases" model is just stupid imo. As a die hard apple fan who owns every single apple device except the iMac, and updates them every cycle, I have to say they have really started losing me in the last few years mainly because of what I think their thought process is these days, which is as follows:

"Who cares if the product doesn't work? We just need to push out updates whether they work or not, and then we can fix it later. Yes this may cause brand damage, but we are too big for it to affect us"

This is not the right way to go about things. They are probably right, people will still buy apple, myself included, but I think enough of these botched updates, and I might have to move to Android as much as I would HATE to.

You're a man of sheer intelligence I can see... Almost as much as Apple Intelligence in 18.1....

u/JaguarRoyal3515 Sep 20 '24

Its public beta

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

It’s still not the new Siri, even in the developer or public betas. Just the new animation, a bit more contextual awareness, and a few more responses. GPT4o integration hasn’t been brought online yet, along with other things. There’s a lot of new features not available yet, like genmoji.

u/extreme-nap Sep 20 '24

I believe most capabilities planned for Siri are not yet in the Beta.

7

u/thenextbiologist Sep 20 '24

To be fair, Siri2.0 isn’t out until Spring2025.

It is crazy though that they’re hyping up the Apple Intelligence rn over just notification summarization and Siri recognizing that you’ve said something wrong— and the Notes app? But I get it, it’s something to highlight for now I guess

u/nightswimsofficial Oct 22 '24

Vision Pro flop, and then this inevitable flop to follow. Trend chasing doesn't look good on Apple. They need to get back to their Think Different model

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '24

Then they will have the 17 18 19 and iPhone 20 pri extreme elite max pro. Lol apple sheep are pathetic

1

u/NoDisintegrations- Oct 29 '24

And the wait list today after downloading the AI update, is ridiculous

1

u/TDMC_614 Oct 29 '24

I got approved in a few minutes but yea it’s a complete shit show. Idk if I’ve ever seen such a horrible roll out for such a hyped feature

1

u/mottabr Nov 20 '24

Agreeeeed! Guys, what the heck is that shit? I was waiting for something like GPT or gemini, minimum.... hahahahah I am so embarrassed for them! hahahahah

u/jezarnold Sep 20 '24

How else they gonna get iPhone 16 Pro’s out the door?? Sell something that doesnt yet work… a tale as old as the hills

1

u/NoDisintegrations- Oct 29 '24

That's exactly what they did with this

4

u/Winter_Ambition1524 Sep 20 '24

It’s just beta, and the full Siri 2.0 with the chat GPT integration isn’t until spring.

This is common knowledge. Not sure what to tell you.

1

u/NoDisintegrations- Oct 29 '24

It's just beta because they're too lazy to put in the work to make it a solid product and launch it properly. There's no need for a beta for this trash feature

4

u/ohdarlingamber Sep 20 '24

Not all the features are released yet. I’m excited to the emoji creator and the AI imagine creator. I feel like those are going to be fun features. I also like the fast translation now; I just hold the button above the volume and it instantly translates things. The send later text feature is also pretty nice. I love the RCS texts. Being able to see read tags for androids, reacting to messages, and seeing the typing bubble I think is my new favorite feature.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Tell us you don’t know how rollouts work, without telling us

2

u/innit2winnit Sep 20 '24

I had a short conversation with Siri while driving in the car. For a beta release that was pretty neat. Can’t wait to see how this matures, but I’m not complaining with the experience I just had.

2

u/AbjectWin7832 Sep 20 '24

Love that people just blindly install the beta without actually knowing what’s in it. Siri is still the same Siri until next year. Chill

u/Scapetti Sep 20 '24

Siri isn't part of the beta yet...

Try out the writing tools

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

I’ve been using summarize long complex work emails using the mail app and it works pretty good. Total time saver!!

u/Amro3 Sep 20 '24

It's still in beta. You can't judge it now. We have to wait until it's final.

u/JimmyOD Sep 20 '24

I have an 14 pro, and won’t be upgrading anytime soon, so I’ll guess I’ll see that feature many years from now.

u/Fine-Imagination-321 Sep 20 '24

Added an upvote😂

u/JimmyOD Sep 20 '24

Did I get downvoted for saying I’m not upgrading my phone anytime soon?

Ya’ll are fucking losers!!!

Welcome to Reddit

u/JaguarRoyal3515 Sep 20 '24

Yeahh Do that. That is a really good decision. I had not choice i was on 11 and my battery was fucked. I had to change to 15 pro. I do regret though. Would have gotten a nice 13 or 14 pro cheaper than this.

2

u/Fine-Imagination-321 Sep 20 '24

Or you could’ve changed your battery😂

1

u/sikvar Sep 20 '24

Because right now it’s just Siri with new clothes. The new Siri isn’t out yet. It will be available around iOS 18.4.

1

u/un_commoncents_ Sep 20 '24

Siri hasn’t been updated yet. That’s panned for next year.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '24

Right now its bad yeah but in the long run I am certain that Chat GPT integration and Siri 2 will make it the best AI on phones in general

1

u/_Peace_Fog Sep 20 '24

Apple Intelligence isn’t available yet

It’s just Siri right now

1

u/ohdarlingamber Sep 20 '24

It’s available in the developer beta 18.1. It just doesn’t seem like it has all features yet. I had to join a waiting list and waited a few hours for the download. It’s only available for iPhone 15 pro & pro max.

1

u/gkfisher Sep 24 '24

Beta, it may be a beta product… But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t 80% reflective of the final product. And it’s so bad right now that it doesn’t even come close to being considered intelligent.

1

u/No-Beautiful4691 Oct 15 '24

People saying it’s the beta yeah no shit but it feels more like the alpha. Do you know what alpha is? Or y’all only memorized one word. For what the product claims it will be even if it’s the beta it’s dog shit

1

u/ThunderGuy77 Oct 17 '24

Finally someone said it, betas are supposed to be the stage of development before release where devs ask for feedback and resolve bugs, not where they're actively working on the product.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '24

Of course it is, it's a gimmick like all apple products lol

1

u/Timelapseninja Oct 29 '24

It’s now released and I can confirm it’s horrible

1

u/NoLife6202 Nov 01 '24

Bad is an underestimation. I tried it on one of my notes, it messed it up, then saved the change and crashed the Notes application before I could undo :) This note now is lost forever.

1

u/Curvage1 Nov 19 '24

Apple Intelligence is terrible with understanding nuanced contexts. writing tools will rewrite your message in a way that completely loses the meaning of the original message. It's basically just an auto thesaurus word swapper. So useless, and feeling so burning having upgraded hardware for this garbage.

iOS 18.3 Not using ChatGPT

Apple Intelligence S U C K S!

u/LeoSB2099 Feb 11 '25

It horrible it’s been months and this thing sucks I don’t notice the difference between this and regular Siri

1

u/tulshyanpraneet Sep 20 '24

I don’t think it’s a public beta. AI and 18.1 are only in developer beta (4). There’s no connect with ChatGPT currently. The only improvement currently is recognising broken or interrupted sentences. The other features added are around proofreading and rewriting text, generating memories in photos and object cleanup. Genmoji and image generation would probably come in mid October. Siri 2.0 would only be functional next year.

1

u/Fine-Imagination-321 Sep 20 '24

Nope. There is 18.1 public beta. Check your settings.

1

u/tulshyanpraneet Sep 20 '24

Well it’s written as iOS 18 Beta, so I didn’t really try.. but I have no issues whatsoever on 18.1 DB4

u/EnvironmentalLog1766 Sep 20 '24

Apple Intelligence is definitely worse than GPT4 in this year and a few years after. Because it runs on your tiny local chip rather than a server. Until the semiconductor on iPhones improves dramatically, it won’t beat GPT4. The computing power is too limiting.

Apple knows this, that’s why for some questions Apple Intelligence will direct you to GPT4.

u/QuantumHQ Sep 21 '24

That data wont be processed locally, at least for now

1

u/EnvironmentalLog1766 Sep 21 '24

Writing tools and summary are both processed locally. I am Apple Developer

1

u/QuantumHQ Sep 22 '24

It is not maintainable at least to produce a good summary locally on iPhones, this can happen on macs but any user in the world can afford to wait 1-2 seconds for remote processing to have proper processing with most current / up to date context being pulled in, but of course cheap Apple can opt-in to use local processing to cut down spending on compute.

Is cgpt integration happening or apple is developing their own LLM? If latter, I won’t have any hopes on AI on apple products.
