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

Try this maybe?


I originally enabled Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16 pro, downloaded the models, and played around a bit. All worked, but not impressed. I then turned it off in Settings (so it wasn’t constantly running in background). Came back a few days later, turned AI back on and tried Image Playground again and kept getting the “unable to use description” errors.


So I went back and looked in settings, and it showed it was still “downloading models…”. Didn’t realize they need to be downloaded each time you turn on. You’d think they’d keep those locally. So I waited a bit, restarted phone and Image Playground and it seems to be working again for me. (Still not overly impressed tho…)
