On Wednesday, NYC-based software developer Nick Spreen received a surprising alert on his iPhone 15 Pro, delivered through an early test version of Apple's upcoming Apple Intelligence text message summary feature.

Spreen shared a screenshot of the AI-generated message in a now-viral tweet on the X social network, writing, "for anyone who’s wondered what an apple intelligence summary of a breakup text looks like."
