Jason Snell writing at Macworld about Apple’s AI missteps being more about rushed UI design than even the technical underpinnings:

It’s clear that when Apple began its crash program to add Apple Intelligence to its operating systems, the goal was not to solve user problems but to insert AI features anywhere it could. This is the antithesis of Apple’s usual philosophy of solving problems rather than adopting the latest technology, and it has burned the company in some high-profile ways.
