Apple Intelligence causes chaos as new feature summarizes a break-up text in what feels like a 'Black Mirror' episode

It might not be the best feature to use in all contexts

Apple Intelligence is causing chaos as a new feature which summarizes text messages has been described as feeling like a Black Mirror episode.

The new AI feature is now available after Apple's iOS 18 upgrade was introduced last month and comes with some exciting updates.

Users are now able to customize their lock screens like never before as well as a redesign of the Control Center.

From there, users are now able to rearrange and resize their controls, and even add more controls from the Controls gallery.

However, the biggest and most exciting addition to iPhones was the introduction of Apple Intelligence.

It has been described by Apple as being built into your device to ‘help you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly’.

The firm also said that it ‘draws on your personal context without allowing anyone else to access your personal data - not even Apple’.

One particular function of the new AI system is the ability to provide summaries of text messages.

However, it seems that not all messages can be so easily paraphrased as one user took to social media to express.

Posting a screenshot of a message on Reddit, the user wrote: “For anyone who’s wondered what an Apple Intelligence summary of a breakup text looks like.”

In the image, the phone had, rather bluntly, summarized the text message where someone was being broken up with.

The AI message read: “No longer in a relationship; wants belongings from the apartment”.

The summary caused quite a stir, with many taking to the comment section to share their reactions.

One user joked: “Wife: Wants divorce; took the kids.”

While another said: “This is definitely like something out of one of the lighter episodes of Black Mirror.”

A third person commented: “Tragic and hilarious. Classic Information Age.”

And a fourth joked: “That’s so convenient, now I can do multiple breakups at the same time! Thanks Apple!”

Some questioned the use of the feature, with one user writing: “This does not need to be invented.”

However, not everyone agreed, with another person replying: “Message summaries? Seems pretty useful to me in certain contexts.”

They weren’t alone, with one user adding: “It's much faster, and when you have a lot of messages from different sources it can be a difference between missing something important and not missing it.

“And I assume it summarizes multiple messages, not a single one.”
