These types of errors happen even after including prompts like “Do not hallucinate.”

In every RAG guide I’ve seen, the suggested system prompts always tended to include some more dignified variation of “Please for the love of god only and exclusively use the contents of the retrieved text to answer the user’s question, I am literally on my knees begging you.”

Y’know, if Apple had simply removed the AI altogether and went with that as a marketing point, people would probably buy more iPhones.
At the bare minimum, AI wouldn’t be actively driving people away from buying them.
Apple doesn’t roll it out to EU out of spite for EU regulators slowly regulating their toy into a smartphone. They view it as punishment, imagine that?
