Apple Intelligence Failed to Solve a Critical Chicken Theft Case

Dear Apple Support,


I would like to report a serious failure of Apple Intelligence.


Here are the facts:


The victim: A piece of chicken I left on my dinner plate yesterday, intending to finish it later.


The suspects: Five cats, two of whom are known to jump onto the table when nobody is watching.


The crime: The chicken has mysteriously disappeared.


The evidence: A security camera with a clear view of the crime scene.


The problem: Despite having a camera, Apple Intelligence, and an absurd amount of money invested in the Apple ecosystem, I still have absolutely no idea which of these two furry criminals stole my chicken.


What exactly am I paying Apple all this money for if its supposedly intelligent technology cannot help me identify a chicken thief in my own home?

Why don’t you just look through the security camera footage yourself, instead of using AI? I don’t even know if you should leave chicken in the counter because it goes bad in an hour, like Mac Jim ID said.

(hopefully you find the culprit 🍗 🐱)

The answer is, you don't leave chicken on your counter. Siri AI, told me that it should never be left out longer than an hour depending on the temperature inside your house. It belongs in the refrigerator. There you go.


As far as your security camera, object detection is built into the camera software depending on the manufacturer, and its HomeKit Secure Video compatibility.


The cat that ate your chicken is the happy cat, no Apple Intelligence needed at all.

I would, but I am unable to figure out how to watch full recordings, not only summaries AI provides. There is no events between the last event with chicken and the event when chicken is gone. I used to be able to see these in macOS 26, but in 27 this is not possible any longer: only detected events are shown.
