~The is what Mrs Littlejohn saw on the voicemail screen in the Phone app on her iPhone after receiving a voicemail from the garage.~

I love the jank message summaries

I got one the other day that summarized a message from my 75 year old mom as a conspiracy theory. I can’t imagine having the confidence to mark a clients message as a conspiracy theory even if it 100% was.

Here’s the summary:

Conspiracy theory about government agencies being privatized for profit.

Original text:

They would turned it into a private owned so they can profit from it. That's why they changing all the government agencies and turn it into profitable businesses for them. See how all the big corporations are lined up with trump.

And people wonder why I have no interest in getting a newer phone with an AI thing on it.

Visual Voicemail has been a thing for literal decades. The older ai models (before they were called such) were even more jank

I guess technically it's still a theory even if it's true

Yeah like I can’t say it’s not a conspiracy theory (that I agree with) but marking it is still very… bold?
