I don't see an issue with the notification having a summary opposed to the truncated text - seems useful so long as it works well. Feels like a fairly low bar for dystopia, even if it is summarizing bad news.

I don't understand why this is being described as dystopian?
I don't understand the article.
"Man learns he’s being dumped"
Did the person learn from the AI that his gf would break up?
But then his gf texted him, which the AI summarized upon this
"we’re done, i want my stuff."
So did he learn from the AI extrapolating implicit messages or from his gf?
Read it again, King...
> We reached out to Spreen directly via email and he delivered his own summary of his girlfriend's messages. "It was something along the lines of i can’t believe you just did that, we’re done, i want my stuff. we had an argument in a bar and I got up and left, then she sent the text," he wrote.
I re-read the article. Still no clue.
So the girl friend texted him it was over "we're done" and she wanted her stuff.
But the headline says "Man learns he’s being dumped via “dystopian” AI summary"
It can't be both true, either he learned from the messages or from the summary.
To me it reads like the following order of events:
1. Couple has an argument in a bar, go home separately
2. She texts him to say we're done, I want my stuff back
3. Before he reads the original texts, AI generates a helpful summary message of their content
4. He reads the summary notification, unaware of the original messages
To me the dystopia is not the AI summary of the break up messages, but a culture that thinks breaking up by text message is a good thing
> "No longer in a relationship; wants belongings from the apartment," Apple AI summarized.
personally, i've been loving the notification summaries. they really are one of the best applications of local LLMs
