Image Playground displays "unable to use that description" for every entry?

I have been unable to get any results from Image Playground. Regardless of text or images or pictures selected the result displays "Unable to use that description." and a yellow UNDO. I even tried to follow the example and typed in "Puppy" with the same result. What is going on?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

I have tried everything I can think of, and "Image Playground" does not work as advertised or as I imagined. Unable to use that description comes up even when I load an image, let alone try to create one.


Is there no one that can help?


I have also tried some of the other features of "Apple Intelligence, which are lacking." I will stick with my other apps until something significantly changes.


Sorry, but it is an actual downer not to have things work as described on my Macbook Pro 2016, which is upgraded to the latest version.

Hello, mi_y_im.

I have the same problem on both M1 and M4 pro Mac Minis.

In the image that you provided, the only thing selected was “Party Hat.” How is Apple Intelligence supposed to know what is going to be wearing the party hat? That’s might be why it says that it is unable to use that description.


If you do try adding something in there, like a person, and it doesn’t work, read lobsterghost1’s post.


I hope this helps!
