Yep, WWDC24. Wait, let me just stop the engine on my DeLorean.
Well, google kinda invented the whole attention thing that made modern LLMs, I'll take it.
You better believe that Alphabet will gain access your data. It’s inevitable.
You need some pretty advanced server chippery to run Gemini in the cloud. I don’t know if Apple has the necessary hardware.
I concur.
This has turned into quite a debacle which along with other actions by Apple, has me questioning everything.
If one applies “trust but verify” without a reliable method of verification, then suddenly Apple is just another company.
What if their privacy claims are suspect?
Stay tuned this is far from over.
At this point everything is too expensive. But the question is perhaps more, is it even more expensive not to?
This makes me wonder about a few things. With all the resources they put into the Apple Car, how could they not already be in the forefront in AI? AND is this why they dropped the car, they could never get autonomous to work well enough? And are the same problems that plagued the car, infesting their AI division?
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but I just wouldn’t be happy with google from a privacy point of view. I use chat gpt and I like it that it’s separate from my mail, messages and photos etc.. I’m not sure how happy I’d be having any AI fully integrated
Shame on you Apple! Now Google has the better phone with the Pixel, the nicer UI compared to Liquid Glass and Google also destroyed you also in terms of AI.
Apple - is there anything left of you?

I support this. Siri is woefully behind and Apple needs to catch up fast.
Google is a huge corporate like Apple, it knows how to scale and Gemini is quite conservative too - meaning it won’t go and do anything weird - which no doubt Apple approves of.
And no doubt there’s an arrangement in place where they’ll start to pay less for search and more for ai so the same amount of money changes hands.
But this is an embarrassment for Apple. A Silicon Valley giant that cannot compete with its own solution in the new next wave of tech. It’s a major strategic weakness.

From what I see, there is no sharing of data with Google. So I don't see any issues there. The story states that very thing. Gemini app running on Apple's own servers. Therefore, Apple knows what is going in and out of their own stuff. It isn't running via Google's Gemini servers and is built just for Apple as a temporary measure.
It also appears to be a short time that Google's will be used on Apple's servers, as next year they will be transitioning to their own in-house.
This is all rumour of course.

Agreed. I don’t understand why Apple still keeps on trying to hold onto the Siri brand, as it’s the punchline to a joke & has been for 5+ years now.
Tim Cook played around with virtual reality glasses that nobody uses, wasting time and money while the competition was working on AI. He should be fired yesterday!!!!
Agreed. It’s incredible that they can ship windows 11 I in the state it’s in.
It’s like someone who has been refurbing their house for years and who keeps on changing their mind with tech room wispy different - and all half finished.
