"Apple's Latest Updates: Health, News, and Mindfulness"

TL;DR Summary
Apple's upcoming Journal app, which uses on-device machine learning to create customized journaling prompts based on user data, has raised concerns about its ability to tactfully curate memories. The app's proposed execution feels half-baked, as it may ambush users with memories they either don't want or aren't ready to see. While the app's premise of cultivating gratitude through journaling is not completely woo-woo snake oil, it lacks the nunchi to be helpful when users need it most. The fundamental problem is that AI can't read the digital room, and until it can, doubts remain about how healing these AI-powered features can really be.
