    This article is click bate written to hook on to the buzz / drama around Apple intelligence.

    This feature is almost 20 years old. Visual Voicemail was one of the early “holy shit” features that the first iPhone launched with.

    I’m sure the model has changed a lot in 2 decades, but weird voicemail transcriptions are not new. We’ve all experienced these for decades.

    I love how it’s apparently worse because she’s a “grandmother”.

      Everyone knows that grandparents have never had sex and should be protected from such obscenity

    I love the jank message summaries

    I got one the other day that summarized a message from my 75 year old mom as a conspiracy theory. I can’t imagine having the confidence to mark a clients message as a conspiracy theory even if it 100% was.

    Here’s the summary:

    Conspiracy theory about government agencies being privatized for profit.

    Original text:

    They would turned it into a private owned so they can profit from it. That’s why they changing all the government agencies and turn it into profitable businesses for them. See how all the big corporations are lined up with trump.
