Hard to say, if I'm honest.
I only have Apple Intelligence on my M4 MacBook Pro so my experience is limited and I'm pretty sceptical on AI anyway. It would be more helpful on my iPad mini but it's not compatible.
My very brief thoughts on it's capabilties:
- Image Playgrounds is pretty fun, but the novelty wore of quickly.
- I can't use Image Wand on macOS in the Notes app yet, but I can drag sketches into Image Playground and it does a decent job of interpreting them.
- The ability to compose text is interesting, but having to proof read it every time doesn't save much time if any at all.
- Siri is no better or worse for me, but at this point it's barely worth trying to get Siri to do much at all
- Xcode's autocompletion has been a game changer for me, especially as it's context aware
So of the 4 features outlined above, 1 is actually useful to me. There are more on iOS and iPadOS which may come to macOS in the next update so I'll follow up with how it evolves for my use cases.
