   I agree with Jason. I’ll maybe go further—If Apple Intelligence summarizes your notifications then Apple *should* badge it with *their* Apple logo. Not some weird cog or brain or some other such icon. Put your name on it! Apple is the one presenting this information to you and they should be held accountable for the veracity of it. Put your highly regarded Apple logo on your AI work or get outta here. It’s either an Apple product or it’s not.

     @Gte We'll have to wait to see how this is executed, but doesn't any kind of label or warning (don't think that's what is being suggested or planned) obviate the larger intent? If we get used to seeing whatever it is, won't it just become like security warning click boxes that get ignored because of their repetitive prevalence?

     And won't that eventually render it just as useless as to its original purpose, beyond liability? /more

     John is also mostly right. I think his reasoning through the hierarchy of Apple concerns doesn’t result in the wrong conclusion. So it still (as usual) holds up. My quibble is that they probably also don’t want third parties opting out because everyone would do so obviating the platform benefit of the feature. Who’d want the marketing copy the social media intern wrote being summarized by AI?

     @Gte The discussion is fascinating. Already it's moved to a place where we have to check the work of AI results (in general), which is a long way from where it started (again speaking of AI in general.)
