This is the one Apple Intelligence feature I like so far — just because it's going to save me so much time reading emails

Summarize Apple Intelligence feature in iPadOS 18.1.

I’ll admit: I wasn’t enthusiastic about Apple Intelligence when it was announced at WWDC, Apple’s yearly developer conference, back in June. After seeing countless AI models try to replace certain apps like Mail or generative features, Apple Intelligence didn’t fill me with confidence.

I was, and still am, more enthusiastic about how AI can help those with accessibility needs with visual and audio impairments. At WWDC, I struggled to see the benefits of such features as ‘Writing Tools’, which can rewrite inputted text across macOS Sequoia, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18, into something casual or professional. Then there’s Image Playground, Apple’s take on generative AI. Apple Intelligence will create an image or an emoji based on your text or voice prompt. I’ll be honest, I winced at this section during the WWDC keynote. The resulting images still look rough, creepy even, and ultimately I see no benefit to this or the audience this feature serves.
