Apple Intelligence message summarization is delightfully unhinged

I got a message from my group chat with my boys. I looked at the Apple Intelligence-generated summary and it said:

(3) Flying too close to the sun, experiencing AI chaos.

I think this is my current favorite implementation of AI because it makes the messaging experience completely unpredictable.

Like, what could that summary actually be about?

What series of three messages could that unravel to?

Apple Intelligence (and most generative AI tools) work really well when the text is predictable. Business cases are perfect for these summarizations, because business talk is relatively predictable (what with its “action items” and “agendas” and whatnot).

A group chat filled with inside jokes is not gonna make sense to an AI unless it’s been trained to do so.

Which has led to one of the best messaging experiences I’ve experienced in decades: trying to guess from the AI-generated summary what the individual texts will actually say.

Some examples:

(3) Tired and wants candy before 8:45am, stuck on a song.

(3) Item unavailable due to legal holding period for used goods.

(9) Kirk on 8th, guest room set up, Sam may forgive Pat, Aldi groceries ordered.
