That's just rubbing salt in the wound! Software developer reveals his girlfriend dumped him by text... then his iPhone sent him an AI summary

A software developer who was dumped by his girlfriend by text message was handed a brutal summary of her message by Apple's new AI assistant before he had even had a chance to read the message. Nick Spreen, from New York, was notified of the end of his relationship by a brusque summary of the text thanks to the new Apple Intelligence feature rolling out to iPhones in the near future. Tech worker Nick Spreen had the news of his breakup delivered to him brutally via Apple's new artificial intelligence summaries He shared a screenshot of the brusque summary on X, formerly Twitter, which stated: 'No longer in a relationship; wants belongings from the apartment' He was using a test version of the Apple Intelligence features that are due to launch on newer iPhones, iPads and Macs later this month Other social media users have poked fun at the Apple Intelligence feature for reducing warm family moments to cold, harsh summaries 'For anyone who's wondered what an Apple Intelligence summary of a breakup text looks like,' he wrote next to the screenshot of the text summary. The latest generations of iPhones will be able to run the Apple Intelligence software - which can summarise texts, help with writing and even create new emoji on the fly Previous text summaries generated by Google's Gemini AI programme have prompted derision - and it continues to make baffling comparisons AI summaries could represent the next evolution of dumping by text - a relatively new phenomenon that has become normalised as text messages replace phone-calls as the go-to communication method. Summarising reams of text has become a cornerstone of artificial intelligence products online and in tech products like phones since the explosion in AI software such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft CoPilot.
