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.

Do any of them actually use self hosted tools?

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).

I know that AI can get things wrong but I don't know that Gemini or GPT would get a story that wrong in a summary. Apple's AI is an embarassment.

What are the odds that all these stories about LLMs being terrible, and the crappy publicly available ones, are all just to convince us that they suck so nobody notices when actually good AI gets used?
