I have a few friends at the Beeb, albeit not in the newsroom, and they have a blanket ban on ALL GenAI tools that aren’t self-hosted. I would be very surprised if IT at the BBC wasn’t blocking Apple Intelligence outright.
Although reading the article, I can’t really tell if this means content was rewritten on the BBC content side, or a hallucination on-device using BBC content.
It’s an iPhone ‘feature’ that summarises a bunch of notifications into one. It took a set of BBC headlines and turned them into “Luigi Mangione shoots himself…” They don’t list the article that was being summarised so I don’t know what the original headline was.
I’m a big fan of self hosted stuff, but I always viewed it as a niche, not something that people other than devs are using in any meaningful capacity (with a big problem being AMD/Nvidia/Apple are all price gouging the hardware for it).

Well read the BBC article on this then: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd0elzk24dno

That’s much clearer, thanks for sharing!
Do any of them actually use self hosted tools?
