It almost seems like the “new” Siri is there now. I asked her a question about when to plant tree spikes and I know the “old” girl wouldn’t have any idea! 😆🤷🏼♂️Apple Intelligence is now 3.22GB, up from 2.6 GB.
Got a tip for us?

This could go for latest 18.1 beta as well as the 18.2 beta concerning the Hearing Aid functionality in the AirPod Pro 2's..
I took the hearing test and it told me that I only had "minimal to no hearing loss." (I'm lowkey ok with this since I am 57 years old. 😀) so I didn't bother turning on the hearing aid functionality not thinking it would help me. (I have problems hearing conversations in noisy environments or if there is background noise such as a fan or even this space heater I am sitting in front of..
My mistake! I turned it on today out of curiosity and it's like night and day for my issue. I can still hear everything around me but it boosts conversational frequencies I guess. (probably the ones it showed me missing in the test.) Seems to work better for me than the "conversation awareness" feature.
So, if you have difficulties hearing conversations, I highly recommend at least trying this feature.

I was gonna wait on beta 1, but this looks awesome!
Works very fast and smooth

My Image Playground request has been pending for about 1.5 hours now, I am in Canada and connected to wifi.
Wow, this seems like a showstopper. Weird they let the beta go out with something so fundamental broken
Interesting... I thought AI was required in order to sort the emails in to categories.

And did you get a good response?
It’s using AI as in using machine learning, but no the mail categories don’t require anything more advanced.
I mean, Google and others have been doing it server side without generative AI long before GenAI became a mainstream thing.
Like I said, today's Apple is arbitrary. Ah well, at least I don't get the bugs. Updated to 18.2 and there's like nothing new for me lol.
What are you expecting? I think Apple has been under a lot of pressure to not allow these tools to generate anything too lifelike.
CN here can relate.
Definitely
for you guys. This is what we’ve waited so summer and fall for.
On mine it says this no matter what I ask it. UK region. Other intelligence things seems to be working as expected.
Working fine for me in English UK
Oh… not for me. If I change my Siri language back to English (UK) then the Chat GPT in the A.I. settings page also disappears. Returns as soon as I put it back as English (US).
