"Parents got divorced. Asked if you want McDonads nuggets for dinner." Apple Intelligence is a much more reliable comedian than a summary generator. However, it could have also really happened, but I presume it didn't, because it's featured in a video of how Apple Intelligence lies.
But is this not a great step forward for A.I. ?
Jumping to incorrect conclusions after scanning the internet quickly. It’s getting more like humans day by day…
“Rolled back” is a bit of a clickbate title. iOS 18.3 will like turn off notification summaries for news apps.
So a small piece of one feature is likely being temporarily disabled.
The term rollback is often used in the software industry, as a way to undo an update. Since the update was pushed to the client side from the development side, and was realized to not be ready. Apple's team manager(s) would have discussed whether to patch it or roll it back to the previous software version. Patching such a thing would have taken "some time" to do so. So it was better to roll it back and really hammer on it, to work out the kinks and such.
Apple has not changed anything in the public build of iOS. News summaries are disabled in the developer beta of 18.3, which is still about 6-8 weeks away from being done.
And my point is that the headline makes it look like Apple intelligence is being disabled. It isn’t. This only impacts a feature of a feature. Notification summary functionality isn’t going away, it’s just being restricted to non-news apps in the current developer beta.
And they’re only on dev beta 3, and they usually release around beta 8, so things could change. They often do.
