Nevertheless it doesn't change the fact that Apple has opened it's doors for OpenAI if the customer agrees. It doesn't change the meaning of my previous statement. Just keep in mind that Apple is looking for an AI partner in China.

Considering how often ChatGPT has been down lately, it would be more of a surprise if Apple weren't having talks with a whole lot of other AI services. 😅
Apple has build in the past intentionally the "golden cage" because they knew that customers are not aware of what they are clicking on and really happens with their data. With that option Apple has put many users under the risk that they still agree and don't know what's really behind.

None of their data is passed to ChatGPT unless you’ve opted to log in to your account for it (and I don’t know why you’d do that in the first place)…

That's an epic "if".
15 years before the Terminator was Colossus The Forbin Project and 7 years before Ahnode was Demon Seed. More ominous warnings.

Don’t use it, literally turn it off in Settings (I’ll be doing that).

Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg. I don't know, they are both equally scummy.
If the managing of AI settings in the 16 series is a mess with multiple 3rd party integration for offloading requests, i'll then switch to a basic phone/mp3 player. I don't want another 'select your default browser' selection window but for AI. I'd rather ios 18 had a default for no for everything ai related when it comes to third party access

Steve Jobs era Apple- sure, I'd trust that he had the huevos to keep Facebook in check.
Tim Apple era? Get ready to be pimped out for them shareholders and watch your data get leaked on the dark web when their lack of software QC fails

Could just look into how it works. There are plenty of papers and documentation on how this stuff works. It’s still just code at the end of the day. It’s just a self categorizing system.
No one is forced to do anything, agreed.
However, I wonder if AI was much further ahead instead of chasing the pack, would Apple be positioning it like a search engine or even giving people an option?
Did they take this strategy because they had to, or because they fundamentally believe in giving choices. The later is not a very Apple trait.

Partnering with Facebook? Really? Maybe instead of spending all that money on developing an overpriced headset Apple should have been putting that money into AI.

I have no idea how Tim could get up and sell this to anybody with a straight face

Anything but Meta, all they care about is collecting and exploiting data.

Perhaps both. Apple may very well have been behind on training models. Nonetheless, vast training has never been compatible with their privacy stance. In other words, Siri has been quite limited seemingly because Apple has restrictive its data harvesting reach. Therefore, Apple might now be taking the approach, Siri is good but if you prefer these other (“better”) chatbots err digital assistants, you can now… But you need to accept how/why they are more “knowledgeable."
