   Unsurprisingly, and much like Snit and every other Mac zealot, you   
   refuse to let things go even after a person provides you with an answer.   
      
   I looked it up online since, like I said repeatedly, I don't use the   
   features myself having browsed a certain way since 1994 and being   
   unwilling to change my habits. Nevertheless, Co-Pilot provides page   
   summarization, text rewriting and voice navigation according to a quick   
   search. With voice navigation, you can have Co-Pilot search for content   
   you might have lost in a barrage of tabs or even in your history. As far   
   as I know, Safari does not have this functionality.   
      
   I imagine that you'll bring up Siri. I use Siri and it's fantastic for   
   giving you directions to a location. However, my experience with a   
   simple question this week like "Siri, where is Wembley Stadium located?"   
   was laughable. In every attempt, it just bombed. As for Apple   
   Intelligence, we already know that it is lagging significantly behind   
   what Microsoft offers to a point that they had to sign a deal with   
   OpenAI to try to bring it up to par.
