It doesn't surprise me that Apple pulled out of the OpenAI investment. They've been trying to polish these new features and finding that they're built on sand.

I'm just shocked they pushed it out the door. It's the only major selling point for the iPhone 16 and yet isn't available at launch, and even when it does release is going to be relatively useless
Do you think this is a flaw of AI or Apples implementation?
I use GPT daily for discussion and pulling apart ideas but the AppleInt doesnt even have that baked in yet.
Apple is trying to make it more generally useful, but it fails at even the basic things genAI is useful for at this point
Very few people will be able to use it: only iPhone 15 Pro and higher. Most users won’t have a capable phone until their next upgrade in 1-3 years.
Hopefully by then they’ve caught up to where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are today.
I wouldn't touch Meta AI if you paid me
Agreed, ~~Meta~~ Facebook's AI is awful, and a data collection monster.
