This is not the first time that Apple has released a terrible UX that very few users liked, and it certainly wont be the last.

I don’t necessarily agree with the post you’re responding to, but what I will give Apple credit for is making their AI offering unobtrusive.

I tried it, found it unwanted and promptly shut it off. I have not had to think about it again.

Contrast that with Microsoft Windows, or Google - both shoehorning their AI offering into as many facets of their products as possible, not only forcing their use, but in most cases actively degrading the functionality of the product in favor of this required AI functionality.



Yep. Replacing google assistant with Gemini before feature parity was even close is such a fuck-you to users.


On Instagram, the search is now "powered by Meta AI". Cannot do anything about it.


After a recent update, so does WhatsApp. There is "search with Meta AI". Probably will be rolled out or already is for all Meta products.
