    Surely people see this for what it is, a censorship mechanism that relies on people’s laziness and preference for convenience for effectiveness.

    Even if Apple Intelligence were good, why would anyone in their right mind allow a middleman to interfere with their ability to communicate with others?

      At one point my dad got into the habit of sending me “interesting little facts” every morning via text. I think he had installed some interesting facts app and he was just forwarding them onto me.

      The Apple summaries those were interesting. One of them got summarized as “there is a dead body in your house” and the interesting fact was " in England there are many lost graveyards, oftentimes during construction bodies will be uncovered and the police get called, only to find that it’s a medieval grave site".
