I don't get what those companies try to achieve by automating writing (by spewing statistically probable prose), reading (by badly summarizing text cobbled from excerpts without the ability to make any sense of it), art, photography, music, all standardized to the lowest common denominator.

I'm not buying a new device that will try to impose any of this hype. For now, Apple has decided to "punish" the users in the European Union by holding the Apple Intelligence features hostage. FINE BY ME!

Yea. There are very few machine learning driven features that would actually improve my life in a meaningful way. I feel much more „punished“ by the omission of iPhone mirroring on mac than any Apple Intelligence feature.

Serious question: What would you do with iPhone mirroring? Because I have it, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Having it open on my mac while I’m working on it so I can access message apps that don’t work on the desktop without having to take out my phone.

In all fairness, it’s not really necessary, but it‘d make my life a little easier for a use case I actually have.

I’m guessing you are using 3rd party message apps? If so, that makes perfect sense. Work smarter, not harder.

Yea. Although I do use iMessage with a few people, it’s not really a big thing here in Germany, so I also do use different apps. The main app, that requires me to get out my phone, is Snapchat, as there’s no desktop app and the webapp sucks.
