Luigi Mangione fake news could have been easily avoided by Apple Intelligence

Luigi Mangione fake news could have been easily avoided by Apple Intelligence | Illustration of a typewriter with fake news text

Apple Intelligence managed to create a piece of Luigi Mangione fake news last week, thanks to the notification summary feature. It somehow decided that the suspect in the killing of United Health CEO Brian Thompson had shot himself.
