It was when installed by Nick Spreen to test his early copy of Apple Intelligence beta that the review coming from what must be the new Apple intelligence was perhaps not what he could have been looking for when testing it-six breakup AI summary texts of his then girlfriend's texts.

"No longer in a relationship; wants belongings from the apartment," the AI summarized. After posting a shot of the sad message on X, Ars Technica reached out to Spreen to verify its authenticity — read his story for more on the digital breakup.

Most of the Apple Intelligence features are created to boost productivity and filter signal through all the noise. Take this group conversation, for instance; you see you have 68 unread messages-to get a quick idea about what that conversation is about, text summaries may be very useful.

Nevertheless, just as you wouldn't want notifications about the birthdays of deceased family members on Facebook, nobody needs to have an automated summary created describing a breakup. Hope Apple puts some work into changing that summary feature to improve Apple Intelligence emotional intelligence.
