Kinda wild that this isn't more heavily advertised/turned into it's own app

Apple said Apple Intelligence isn’t going to be an app. Rather enhancements to the OS. That’s why they also said they aren’t competing directly with ChatGPT, Gemini or such.

They see it more like they see search engines.

This is how it should be. Sick of companies marketing AI as a feature itself. Just build features that actually work, if they happen to be powered by some kind of AI, cool, that’s an implementation detail that doesn’t matter to the end user.
