What's worse than getting broken up with over text? Getting broken up with over summarized text. Apple rolled out its Apple Intelligence suite of AI tools in October, and one feature has made headlines over and over again for its absurdity: Apple Intelligence notification summaries.

What it is: Apple Intelligence summarizes notifications and gives you the SparkNotes version of what you missed when your phone was tucked away. It may show that you have a text from a friend with a summary like, "Proposes dinner plan." But there's a high chance that the AI will misread tone, context, and sarcasm. Many people have reported incorrect summaries -- it may tell you that someone is dead if, in response to a funny meme, they say, "I'm dead." On Reddit, there's a sizeable compendium of near-misses.

Over it? If Apple's been summarizing your notifications and you haven't been loving it, you can opt out. Go to Settings → Notifications → Summarize Previews and toggle off Messages.

Big picture: Apple Intelligence is only available on new models of the iPhone, iPad, and iMac, so Apple's hoping that people want the new AI features, like text proofreading and photo editing, badly enough that they'll shell out some cash for an upgrade. If you're not convinced, there's more to come next month when the latest software update will give you the ability to make your own emoji and use a ChatGPT integration with Siri. -- CC
