We should not shy away from AI. AI is the future. If u dun learn and use it now, you'd lose to others who know how to use it well. Always learn new things.
There are a lot of people getting misled by what are actual AI and actually just ML or algorithms of handling big data.
At the current iteration of Apple Intelligence, I do not want to trade off wasting resources for it yet. When there are more features of Apple Intelligence coming and actually useful, I will use it. I am actually using Apple Intelligence on my MacBook.
Currently, I am developing iOS apps with Apple Intelligence features too.
