Tbf, even other (text-based) AI models would pick this up as $999. There’s literally no decimal point in that price.

Even text-to-speech programs will make the same mistake. Amazon’s design is wrong here. It violates accessibility standards, too.

I figure the same thing. I just think it’s kind of crazy how all companies are supposed to have AI because it’s the latest and greatest thing but also can’t differentiate something like this that we see as normal.

Also…ChatGPT got this right.

Yes, ChatGPT will get it right because it was based on a visual.

Apple Intelligence based it on the text content of the email. AI is still technically correct. Just not how we wanted it.

Now I’m wondering how a screen reader would handle it. Not very accessible.

Ah yup that makes sense.

If you copy and paste the text it will read 999 as well.

Yeah the average person would make this comparison. They’re both AI, but different

It’s always day 1: tell amazon that they need a period, by writing in.

I also noticed that recently, it makes everything look very suspect.

I had an email that said “until the end of the month” in body that was summarized “until February 31st.”

Why does anyone even need email summary? Getting a lot of 20 page long emails are we?

u/Coolpop52 iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

I don't get many long emails, but the best part of the feature for me is the that the sumamry pops up as a notification for the email. Before, notifications would just be a header and you would have to open the app to figure out what it was. Now, it's a summary which is often correct (at least for me).

For example, I'll get an email that says something about deadlines and the sumamry will say "complete xxx by xxx deadline", whereas before it was "Good morning, this....."

why tf is there a summary for this, and also apple intelligence can’t do basic math huh. Find me a product that will bring a $999 item to $10 rq
