When Nick Spreen installed the beta of iOS 18.1 to try out upcoming Apple Intelligence features, he probably didn’t expect to receive an AI-generated summary of breakup texts from his then girlfriend.

Many Apple Intelligence features have been designed to improve productivity and filter out signal from noise. For instance, text summaries can be useful in a group conversation with 68 unread messages.

However, just as you wouldn’t want to see birthday notifications for deceased family members on Facebook, no one needs a machine-generated breakdown of a breakup. Let’s hope Apple makes some adjustments to the summary feature to improve Apple Intelligence's emotional intelligence.
