I'm sorry but no lol. Meta is literally the anthesis of Apple at a fundamental level. This must be to combat the Anti-trust case the DOJ has against them cause there's no way. Meta and Apple literally have BEEF.
Got a tip for us?

“Don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy. It renders you powerless.”
Apple already has a deal with OpenAI, so if this rumor is true then Apple is going to allow users to select different LLMs.
I agree. I still am willing to believe that Apple really is a privacy focus company, but if they end up getting in bed with Google or Facebook, then clearly Apple is not privacy focused anymore. I don’t care that. They’re claiming that the data will be securely stored just on your phone. Facebook has been so clever about sneaking software and all sorts of things to still data.
I don’t understand why people seem to be willfully ignoring the architecture of Apple Intelligence.
These AI integrations are reached out to from Private Cloud Compute, they don’t touch your phone at all. Apple isn’t “getting in bed” with any of these companies.
They are treating large AI models like search in Safari, pick the one you want to use…but all queries still go through PCC, specifically because it’s designed to be private.
Apple is on your side in this matter, they’ve designed their integrations to protect your information *unless you explicitly opt in to share it by signing into the account for the given AI*.
Except Wall Street and all the consulting firms driving the hype…
Remember, this is the company that tried to somewhat quietly jam CSAM scanning onto "our" devices.
I'm not really sure Apple is much better than other tech companies
Maybe a little ... but it actually makes me wonder if they are just more comfortable doing things and not telling us about it.
Oh I won’t. It’s just the cons end of having choice… garbage gets to accumulate too.
This is impossible to do. It's not the metadata like location that is the issue, it's the actual data processed that is personal. If you ask chat gpt to reformat a letter it will have access to the content of said letter and that is the main concern.
They can? They’ve guaranteed nothing but a prompt asking if you want to use ChatGPT. Apple has no clue what happens afterwards.
Craig said that you could turn it off in Settings during his Daring Fireball interview.
Please rewatch the Keynote, then the SOTU, to learn how Private Cloud Compute actually works.
Blog - Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI privacy in the cloud - Apple Security Research
Secure and private AI processing in the cloud poses a formidable new challenge. To support advanced features of Apple Intelligence with larger foundation models, we created Private Cloud Compute (PCC), a groundbreaking cloud intelligence system designed specifically for private AI processing...
Apple has no control whether or not you send private information to a 3rd party. They have already mitigated this with private cloud compute, according to the keynote. It's up to you if you believe them or not.
I personally don't use generative AI at all, and even keep Siri disabled on my phone, but do as you wish.
Technically, in order for an assistant to be great they need to know a LOT about you; favorite restaurants, tv shows, vacation places, and sports teams, music preferences, bank info, daily routine, upcoming schedule, medical conditions, access to all your contacts, etc.
Because of this, if you rely too heavily on AI, it can really screw up your life. Not to mention, giving access to all that data to the most dangerous entity of all: the govt.
